Good Things of This WorId-Ths Citv of
Paris Vying With Lohengrin's March
as the Proper Wedding AdjCnct.
The marriage of Miss Lillian B. Reed, of
and Mr.. Frank Whitesell was
yesterday afternoon at the house
OF Mrs. Andrew Easton, Of Montgomery ave-
nue., who is the sister of the bride. There
was good deal of surprise expressed when
it became generally known that Nh. Whitesell
was not to be unaccompanied on his contem-
plated trip on the City of Paris, the favorite
boat Of bridal pairs, and that his companion
was to be a no less interesting fact than
bride. The gentleman had sedulously kept his
counsel, and only in the circle where
such matters are deemed sacred was it
known that the pretty Miss Reed had ex
cited more than passing in forest in the
breast of the young Sewickley attorney. The
marriage took place in Pitt sburg instead of
at Canonsburg, where the Reeds have been
an important social fac tor for many years,
owing to the breaking up of the home at the
death of Mrs. Reed year ago. Mr. Reed
now resides with his daughter, who is the
wife of the widely known Allegheny phv-
sician, DR.. Andrew Eastop, and it was at
DR.. Easton's house that the ceremony took
place yesterday.
There was absolutely no display except
what was necessarily part of a function of
this joyful nature. The drawing rooms were
arranged with q rare selection of cut
flowers, the beauty of which together with
the pretty nuptial was reserved for the eyes
only of those whom blood or kindred feel
ing declared to be the nearest and dearest.
Even the officiating clergyman had another
claim to be present than that belonging to
his sacred Office, DR.. Brown being the family
pastor from Canonsburg. When the short
ceremony was over, dinner was served to the
entire company, which also quickly came to
termination to permit the bride and groom
to board the night limited for the East.
They will sail to-day from New York for
ing European honeymoon of three months
duration spent between the sights OF the
Continent and those Of the British Isles.
The old family residence at Sewickley is
being prepared for their return, and Mr..
ana Mrs. Whitesell will, at least, live there
the coming season.
The bride comes OF family of beauties.
All of Mr.. Reeds daughters were handsome

by many to be the prettfest young woman

who possess the darling privilege OF calling
her "mother."
the Columbus Club, in place of the usual
water party of other years, gave midsum-
mer fete, which came Off yesterday after
noon and evening in the lovely grove at Sill
yer Lake. 1t was absolutely an invitation
affair, SO that the novel experience of q
large party, all thoroughly in touch with
each other, was not the least pleasure for
which the management should be compli-
mented. The afternoon WAS principally de-
voted to that charming order of exploration
of the grounds, which includes young man
and a young lady interested IN each other
and an oblivious parent or chaperon. Where
the seats were arranged in the most engag-
ing spots were scenes of daintily gowned
maidens from the futtering crepe de chine
bit OF femininity to the graceful
usurper of her male relatives wardrobe

sole object of attention. The Guenther Band
supplied the dancing music, which was in
ranged by Charles W. Fleming, who was
assisted in its rendition by Miss Gavin, Miss
Wooster, Signor Gelli, MI. Charles Gernert,
accompanist and Mr.. Abram Karpochevsky,
violinist. MI. Karpochevsky's playing was
applauded with emphasis, and not even dur
ing the most charming waltz was there a
larger audience than gathered on the plat
form when his numbers were announced.

plaudits.
ONE of the most exasperating misfortunes
to befall a young bride and groom was that
which overlook Mr.. and Mrs. Finley, of
Allegheny, through the burning of the old
homestead of the bride, where had been
stored the many wedding presents of Law
ish friends. The fire occurred two days af-
ter the young couple had gone for a short
vacation to the country, but the fact
was wisely withheld from them until
their return few days ago. Like almost

Beyond the actual practical loss there is
sentimental value which places these
price, and is the subject of the greater
part of the regret. A purse containing a
valuable roll Of banknotes likewise went
up in smoke The occurrence is regretted
by all their friends. Mr.. and Mrs. Finley
will go to housekeeping in the autumn.
Announcements were received in town
on Monday of the Wigley-G Green nuptials in
st. Stephens Church, Toronto, bearing also
the information that the happy pair will be

their house on Lilac street.
Almost identical with that of the avant
courier is the new method tor arranging to
60 to the seaside, particularly to Atlantic
City, where nine-tenths of Pittsburg puts in
its summer. A practical woman here is in
communication with all the principal
fore you leave Pittsburg. This is particu-
larly pleasant for q woman travelling alone,
or superintending family, when there are
none of its male members present. The pio-
neer in this convenient way of making
travel pleasant is Miss Snowden, of this
city, who began early thls season, and has
been doing most satisfactorily to the taste
of her patrons.
