partment. and it is expected that there will
be very large attendance at the reception.
| There Will be banquet, speeches and con-
! gratulatfons, followed by dance. The
| edifice is one of the handSomest cluDhouses
| in Western Pennsylvania. 1t was finished
| last spring, but has never been used, be-
| cause the committee in charge of the affairs
| of the club were determined it should be
| completed, i'll punishment and general con-
veniences, down to the minutest detail.
| Now that the winter season has fairly
| opened, the delightful social gatherings for

! ding is to take place III the clubhouse, with
q reception to follow, and the event is being
| looked forward to with great deal of inter-
est by the many friends of the young couple
| There is something pretty in the idea OF
| commencing the winters festivities with
| wedding, aud it is felt that the Concordia
Club could hardly be started on its career
| under happier auspices The weddings under
the auspices of COncordia have always been
pleasant, an it is intended that the reputa-
ton of the old building in this respect shall
| not be lessened i'll connection with the new
one.
A QUIET, but very pretty, wedding took
place last evening at the home of Mrs. a. j.

End.

PITTsBURG is threatened with another
| epidemic of paper flowers. A few years ago
every woman spent some portion OF her
| time in twisting and cutting colored tissue
| paper into blossoms of all kinds. Paper
flowers were everywhere. They were pinned
| on the walls, on the picture frames on the
| curtains, stuck in vases and hung on chan
deliers. They were purely ornamental. for
| of course they were not fragrant, and
| the craze was almost ineNplicable,
| although as decided as that of making crazy
| quilts, which existed previously. The fad
passed away, and the flowers found their
| way from parlors and drawing rooms to the
| ash barrel and the unromantic, unfashion-
| able dump" The flowers have never been
| rescued, but the fun of making them ap-
| pears likely to hnG favor III feminine eyes
| again. In one OF P1ttsburg'S fancy goods stores
| were seen yesterday number of enthusi-
| astic women, 9athe red around some objects
that called forth constant flow OF "Oh,
\ isn't it lovely?" and other eNclamations that
| testify to the admiration OF the speakers.
| They were looking at collection of
| artificial. The colors of the flowers had
! been so closely copied, and the shape OF the
J petals SO ingeniously duplicated, that only
| the most careful examination revealed the
| fact that the flowers were of paper. Not
| only were flowers made of this accominO-
| dating paper, but piano lamp shades,
fairy lamp shades, bonbon boxes, little
| graph frames, were to be seen, all of the
same fiimsy material and in various colors.
| On each article, however. there was only
| one color. Thus q red lampsh;tde had red
| blossoms twined about IL, while yellow
| shade was decorated with yellow flowers,
| and so on. The edges were sometimes tinted
| with a shade OF deeper tone, giving par
| ticularly rich and pleasant effect. This is
| beautiful iancy, and if the women of Pitts
| burg carry 1t out they will have plenty of
brightness for dark hooks and corners in
their rooms during the coming winter.
| Nothing will brighten mp gloomy corner
| so effectively as bright yellow, and one of
| the yellow piano lampshades. when the
| lamp is alight, looks like warm glow of
| sunshine.
| Talking about brightness, women are
| showing decided taste for color wherever
| they can get it in the house. This is proved
| by the taste for ornamental bedSprcads.
| They are shown with white ground, on
which are wreaths of pink, scarlet, green,
| yellow, etc, to harmoniZe with the tone OF
the room. The only thing that will curb
their use will be the price, which ranges
from So to $l5, although the average woman
| will have what she wants in this way what
ever may be the cost.
Mr.. HARRY WHYEL, super intendent of
the Leith Coke Works, and Miss Lizzie E.
Prentice, both of Uniontown, were united in

W. P. Turner d. D., pastor of the NJ. E.
Church. The wedding was u quiet but very
pretty one, and the ceremony was per-
formed in the presence OF about % or 30 rela-
tives and intimate frien ds- After the cere-
mony was completed a sumptuous wedding
breakfast was served to all present. The
bride and groom were made the recipients
of many presents and left on the morning
