A NUMBER of young ladies, members of
the Alumne Association of the Pennsyl-
vania College for women, whose names are:
Miss Rachel Aiken, Miss Jennie 3. Clark,
Miss Hillman and Miss Ewing, are arranging
concert, the proceeds of which will be de-
voted to the establishing of what shall be
known as the Helen E. Pelletreau Scholar
ship. There is not existing in Pittsburg to-
day, college similarly endowed, as it is in
tended the Pennsylvania College shall be;
indeed there are not many throughout the
United States. though lately Vassar College
has been doing q noble work in this direction.
Even what is called the Harvard annex has
been strangely forgetful of the needs for
poor ambitious women, though 1t does
promise reduction Of fees, cheap boarding
houses and other like charity, which
cannot be other than calling to the nature
of a young woman with aspirations for
college career. Too much cannot be done
in colleges and among college-bred women
this is an article referring TO women's col
leges and women students-for n young
women striving for bigger and better edu-
cation. The Governments is not interesting
itself so the schools must do it for them
selves. A movement like this in Pittsburg
should be heartily welcomed and also en-
couraged by all thoughtful people 1t is the
right thing for the college to do and the only
fault to be found with the whole affair is
that such q step was not taken many years
earlier,
Miss Mario Decca has been engaged to sing
on the occasion of the scholarship benefit,
and as she is n very great favorite here will
doubtless draw q large audience. We donot
presume to say that Miss Decca thought so
when she committed matrimony n week ago,
from the interest felt in the charming cam
tatrtce. Mr.. Joseph Cuttings will be Miss
Decca's aGcompanlst, and during ner shore or
guest of Miss Ewing, who is the secretary OF
the committee in charge of the concert. 1t
will be given in Carnegie Hall on Thursday
for which appeared in THE SUNDAY DISPATCH
There is said to be existing some
objection to Carnegie Hall, though the ma
ture of the objection is not specified exactly.
II it is because Carnegie Hall is in ALE
gheny, the objection cannot be an insuper-
able one, since people visit their friends
every day in that town and don't find it too
far away If there Is another reason let Us
know it, and Allegheny, doubtless, will en-
deavor to do everything to make the oc-
sasion pass of agreeably.
THE springing into being of what is known
as the younger set-made up inlpart osthis

and men of several years standing has
brought about new social creation
Matrons no longer are destined to be solely
the society leaders, for there is strife among
the young fry to acquire similar distinction.
1t is said to be astonishing how accurate and
with what perspicuity, the youthful maiden,
who a year ago was wrestling with pons

cons of dra wing room SUCCESS. She knows
precisely if she dances with So and So in

going to be a success, even if it turns
her heart into pincushion full of pins.
She will have the best men at her feet: that

her the most distinction. There's only one
thing the matter with this clever young

THE annual reception at the School of
Design for Women, to which the annual ex-
animation is anterior, began yesterday after
noon, and was patronized literally, though
not SO literally as other years, by the art
loving population of Pittsburg. Naturally
there is good bit of sameness in an exhibit
tion like this one-there always is in schools
but this year. a decided step has been
taken, which, since it is largely a
feature of the nudar pictures. shows it to be
approved by the powers that be. This
is the introduction of the human figure;
something the School OF Design girl used to
be terribly afraid to attempt, but need be
so no longer in the face of the success she
has made of the attempt. The entire exhi-
bition in all it's departments shows the care
and faithfulness OF the instructors
and the painstaking of the pupils,
so that in every way the exhibition must be
a satisfaction to the intelligent visitor.
