Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1892-08-21

An unexpected augmentation to Cresson
Springs society was made by the arri, al o,
part OF the Presidential family last week
Mr. and Mrs. Russell B. Harrison, with
Mrs. George w. Boyd and family, reached
the Mountain House Friday evening and
expect to favor the place with their pres
ence for several weeks. Social energy will,
doubtless, as q result be picking itself up,
for Mrs Russell Harrison was the un-
doubted favorite in Cresson society of all
the members OF the Executive family when
it occupied the Park Cottage here two wears
ago. Mrs. Boyd was also made welceme
by Pittsburg society at the same time,
she having accom- anied, us on the present
occasion she is doing with the Prince
and his wife, the President and the ladies
of his household during their visit to
Cresson.
The only engagement of note during last
week Was announced on wednesday, linking
together thus pleasantly the names of Miss
Christine Lawrence Kirk, daughter of Law
renee Kirk, Esq., OF Sharpsburg, and Mr..
james Richard Walsh, of New York
In society Oakland bears the soft i'm
peachment of being the most popular place
tor an eligible maiden to live. She need
not reside there very long before she has
many q chance to change her name and
often her place OF residence Where to Law
blame for this favorable condition OF affairs
is mystery. The girls are not an prettier
nor richer, though their wealth and beauty
Is not 10 be scofed at, than they are else
where. Ii is even said that SO important
has this piea-ant fact grown that house
agents have mentioned it to house-hunting
p&pas with numerous daughters
The vacation season is over now for the
churches; tor the Oakland Methodist Epis-
copal will be the scene of the first wedding
OF the season-that of Miss Elizabeth Frew
and Mr. PhAiips.
A few weeks ago not q summer resort in
the country but Was preaching OF its merits
as 8 retreat from warm weather. Now ap-
plicatiou or the same truth is being made
with the word autumn introduced. This is
the consistency OF inconsistency. There as
q man who used to drink whisky in summer
10 make him cool, and whisky in the winter
TO make him warm; and doubtless he and
the summer resorts are blood relations
