last night that created more excitement of
pleasurable nature than any social event
of this season. Miss Christine Kirk, whose
family are among the most distinguished
residents of PittsDurg, became the wife OF
Mr.. James Walsh, of New York. The wedding
was a comparatively quiet one, only so invi-
tations being issued, but it was very prettfly
arranged, and the free hospitality for which
the Kirk residence has always been noted
was extended to everyone present. The
spacious apartments had been in the hands
of A. NJ s. j. b. Murdoch the florists, and
their work had made the home a bower of
blossoms and greenery. Palms and ferns
! were arranged so as to hide every sugges-
ton of hard lines in the architecture of the
house and white and red roses and lilies
were df sposed in graceful festoons in every
room. The marriage ceremony was pe'-
formed in the great drawing rooms. Ropes
OF white roses were hung in graceful fes-
toons, forming the outlines of canopy sug.
gestive in itself of the reign of Hylhen. The
bride looked lovely in her handsome we'd
ding gown. She carried white roses, while
her maid of honor. Miss Sallie Young, held
pink roses. There were numerous pres
gratulations of the friends who saw the
