Welded IN MIDWINTER.

Welded IN MIDWINTER.
Miss Marshall Becomes the Bride Of Mr.
Davis, Who Afterward Takes Her South
"A Belle Versus Bells-The Gay World
of Yesterday.
Miss Annie L. Marshall's midwinter nup-
tiaI was rather unusual feature of yester-
days events. Her marriage to MIR. Eli w.
Davis was solemnized at Mr.. Thomas Mar
shall's house on South HighiarI avenue in
its exquisitely decorated parlors before
several hundred witnessing friends. The
bride appeared amid all these lovely flowers
in white moire with lace adornment and
sprays OF orange blossoms and lilies OF the
valley. The bodice of the gown was slightly
decollette. Over all was thrown veil ana
long train swept the floor behind its
wearer. Mr.. r. A. Beatty and j. G. 1nghan
acted rs ushers, and the ceremony was per-
formed by the Rev. DR.. j. P. E. Kumler, of
East Liberty Presbyterian Church.
Among the wedding presents lavished upon
the bride and bridegroom silver set of
much elegance, the gift of those employed
under the bridegroom in his former position
as superintendent Of the Pittsburg Traction
ished of all the wedding presents. The
ceremony was at 8 O'Clock and Immediately
afterwards Mr.. and Mrs. Davis left tor the
South, through which they will travel for
some time before returning home.
The owner of a cutter found himself in
predicament on Fifth avenue last night be-
tween a Jealous policeman and turnout
without bells-not to mention the embar-
rassment OF a much admired young lady's
presence. The baton was obdurate. The
sleigh could not proceed in the noiseless
tenor of it's way. and must remain in his
custody unless bells Re produced. The
driver was in despair, and so was his fair
companion. Suddenly her face became
illnmined with happy thought;
by a whisper to an adjacent ear.
"Wll one belle satisfy?' was de-
manded of the policeman. The proffered joke
penetrated the official belt, and smiling he
lowered the armed authority of the law. Off
sped the cutter containing the belle with
more resources than an entire carillon at
Antwerp.
Social Chatter.
MADAME DEL SARTE, the exponent of Del
sartism, coming in a short time to Pitts
burg, would probably be the guest Of Mrs.
Henry Kirk Porter If that ladys present IN
disposition did not preclude all such hospit-
able intents. Mrs. Porter and her daughter,
Miss Hegeman, are proficient in the French
tongue, and the daughter of the dlstlp-
guished Frenchman scarcely could find her
self established on this continent amid more
delightful surroundings than those of Mrs.
Porter's house, nor in such charming COM
daughter.
tion of the Homewood M. Z. Church will be
held next Friday evening for the purpose of
deciding on the creation of a fund to build
handsome window in the new church,
which is expected to be finished the latter
part of February. The 800 nest egg of the
association, if possible, will be supplemented
by means of series of entertainments,
which likely will be given in an East End
hall during January and February.
LAST night a number of sleighing parties
were hastily organized in Williamsburg and
the other suburban towns stringing the
PENNSYLVANIA Railroad to take advantage of
the snow. The winters in these parts have
been so ephemeral in those characteristics
which go to make winter seasonable that
the sleigh of this region is not in touch with
its modern sister, and, accordingly, many
exceedingly old-fashioned = almost pre-
Adamic institutions were resurrected.
If the weather continue to be suspicious
sleighing will soon be fashionable recrea-
tion. Yesterday and Tuesday the cuttors to
be seen in the East End, where, of course,
are the best roads, smacked of q fashion
dating back to the ark, rejecting largely on
Pittsburg's inability for a long time of
creating a seasonable winter. The riding
school will bring out the swellest of rigs in a
few days, if the snow be treated to good
hard frost.
The opening reception at the Plttsburg
Club is set for January 81, and will be the
occasion of one of the most brilliant balls
yet identified with Pittsburg society. The
improvements in the club, at least if hints
are valuable indication, undoubtedly as
sure a most comfortable as well as elegant
make the Introductory ball of the improved
clubhouse an event in the annals OF exclu-
sive society.
The handsome Hostetter residence on
Fifth avenue will be closed next week for
the winter, while the family seek the more
congenial climate of California, with the in
tention of enjoying it until spring. Mr.. Hos
letter was confined to bed with the grip for
q fortnight, and is but now recovering. This
is principally the reason for the projected
sojourn.
THE Dramatic Club of the Western Uni
versity will present "Chums" and early
Vows" at the Pittsburg Club Theater on the
evening of January 10. The young gentle
men have been coaching with the greatest
painstaking, and they promise an agreeable
revelation of their histrionic ability to their
friends on the important occasion.
DIR. E. S. MONTGOMERY, of Pittsburg, who
was married on Christmas week to Miss
Anna C. Boggs, daughter of DR.. j. n. Boggs,
of Allegheny, returned home with his bride
this week from the bridal tour. DR.. and Mrs.
Montgomery announce to friends that they
are henceforth at home. 156 Third avenue.
Miss GRACE BALLMAN and Mrs. Charles
Brown, of Braddock avenue, East End, have
issued invitations for card party and
dance this evening in honor of Miss Bessie
Robinson, daughter of Hon. j. r. Robinson,
OF Harrisburg.
To be'a country without navy after all is
not the greatest depth of wretchedness that
has ever been explored. Think what it is
for city to have great big snow storm
when there isn't a fashionable sleighjng
turnout within its walls.
Miss HOWE, the aunt of Miss Margaret
Brown, gives q german tonight at the Pitts
burg Club for that charming young deb
