In THE SOCIAL WHIRL.

A Rumor Concerning the Daughters of the
Revolution-The University Club Secures
Headquarters-Matters OF Minor Mo-
ment
THERE is blatant rumor abroad that
some of the Daughters of the Revolution are
looking up grandfathers and grandmothers.
Naughty action though it is. they are &C
cused of inventing proofs, where such could
not be found, that their ancestors were in
the War OF the Revolution. This does not
display a particularly nice perception of
honesty among ladies and Daughters, or
would-be daughters, of the Revolution.
though whether they are to be pitied or
blamed most is a question. Where ones
forefathers are so forgetful of their descend
ants, when they might. could and should
have fought to give their children
unto the third and fourth generation place
among the organizations Of the land
is it any wonder that those coming after
should insist on present skill making up for
former dereliction of duty. We have known
of people disowning their children, but now
the tables are changed. and the children are
being heard from. Let us by all means when
our progenitOrs do not suit us, make us ones
of our own. Let US stick cooked hats on
their heads, buckle swords to their sides and
send them to the war, if it's going to put
money in our pockets, or distinction on our
brows.
THE University Club, which has hovered
between life and death for almost year,
has decided to live, and in proof OF this in
tention has taken house. The club is
planned, as has been stated in this depart
ment already, to bring together men in
Pittsburg who have been educated in uni
versities, and only such will be admitted to
1t. There is now membership of so. The
club house is located at All Wood street,
where reading rooms have been established.
There will be neither a cafe nor a buffet, as.
in accordance with the intellectual tastes of
the members, nothing save q literary at
mosphere will be permitted. The rooms
were, at former time, the apartments of
the Americus Club. Mr.. John II. Ricketson,
Mr. ID. T. Watson, Mr.. W. N. Frew, Mr.. G..
Harton Singer, Mr.. w. W. Lawrence, Mr.. II.
K. Porter. Mr.. Joseph B. Shea, Mr.. II. ID.
Sellers and Mr.. Stewart Johnston are men,
bers of the club.
The officers of the club are a president,
which will be elected annually in October.
Social Chatter.
DISSATISFACTION has been expressed re-
garding the management of the State Music
Teachers Convention and charges made
that some OF the women members, who were
performers, were pushed into the back
ground by their male collaborators. Since
the dissensions of male musicians go back Il
good bit, probably as far as Tubal Gains Or
chestra, it is not strange to learn that the
ladies have asserted the privilege also of
being cranky.
