Town.
THE Argonaut Club has completed ar
rangements for its customary retreat in Au-
gust to summer quarters in Burt Lake,
Michigan. The few Plttsburg clubs have
made their method of enjoying tho sultry
weather as scientific as has the Argonaut,
and its popularity is en- evidence; for to re-
ceive an invitation is almost equal to writ
ten voucher for many pleasant days. The
club owns yacht which has been wisely
put into the hands of an expert
enced engineer and pilot, cruising and
boating being among the most delightful
of the amusements. The original three cot
tages have been added to, their number now
being half q dozen, and very pretty and
comfortable cottages they are, too. Among

MRS. CLARENCE w. MORRIS, of Chi
cago, nee Bailey, who is staying with her
mother, Mrs. E. L. Bailey, of Murrland ave-
nue., Homewood, is being made the recipient
of surprising number of social attentions,
considering how many fashionable people
are outof town. A charming little affair to
come OH this week is a luncheon in her
honor, for which invitations have been
issued by her sister, Miss Bailey. As Miss
Bessie Bailey. Mrs. Morris was one of Pitts
Durg's bellies, and when she became q bride
the only mar to the happiness of her friends
was the fact that society in this city was to
be deprived OF so agreeable an ornament.
A CLIMAX in the art of drawing fine dis
tinctions been reached by small Allegheny
girl, whose grandparents live in the East
pleasure of her society. She and her grand
father particularly have famous under
standing between them. A certain drawer
in the bureau in his bedroom usually con-
tains candy. which Is brought to light when
the granddaughter arrives. She was in
there one day with her grandmother alone,
her grand father being absent, and the lady,
seeing her looking wistfuliy at tile drawer,
suggested a search for the coveted confec-
tions. Holding the drawer with hesitating
chubby hand, this 5-year-old philosopher
nobly declined t % destroy the domestic hap
pfness thus ruthlessly placed at her mercy
In these words: Grandmother you see he's
my friend, but then you are married to him.

A VISITOR at this early period even can
appreciate the great Improvement in that
part of the Exposition building devoted to
the band and its audience. Four of the
large showcases forming the original
boundaries at either end of the rows of
chairs have been removed and their unoc-
cupied space added to the seating capacity.
A large balcony has been thrown out from
upstairs and arranged as rising gallery
with tiers of chairs. In all the 1000 chairs
of last year will be tripled in number for the
coming exposition. and especially will the
balcony be welcomed by those who find
part of their pleasure in music consists in
seeing the musicians. By clever arrange
ment of mirrors behind the band stand the
band of 40 will be apparently doubled and a
great part of the audience reflected within
them with quite brilliant effect. No more
marked Improvement is to be found than in
this part of the hail. and none is likely to
interest the public more if one remembers
the eager crowds invar iably to be found in
the region of the music.
A HANDSOME, fashionably dressed young
fellow dropped Off the train at Homestead
on the day following the outbreak. From
pflla.. to post he was pushed inquiringly by
the anxious workingmen, then the sell lfcon-
stituted authority, who were worked up to a
tension to suspect hidden warfare in a yell
low cur walking on three legs. Up one
street and down anoth er he calmly walked,
stopping when asked to do so ana proceed
ing with equally equable politeness when
permitted, until finally he was borne up the
side OF the hills overlooking the town by a
crowd OF persistent pursuers still intent to
discover mis- business. The forti1cation Of
hills are seen splendidly from this point
and the young fellows eyes did some fine
execution, for day or two later plans from
his pen we're received by the Governor of
for the distribution OF the
militia upon its arrival at Homestead
q. The quiet looking young gentleman hap
pened to be Colonel Elliott, of Governor
Patt1SOn'S 8 SCaU.
