CHURCH HOME FESTIVAL.

CHURCH HOME FESTIVAL.
Preparations for the Great Annual Fair at
the Episcopal Homs-A Charming We'd
ding at sf. Phllomena's-Some People
and Some Things CONCERNING Them.
MOST wonderful preparations have in
dicated the approach Of the Church Homo
festival which Will come on this afternoon.
The putting in readiness is not confined to
tho managerial representatives of the va
rfous churches of the diocese. The orphans
themselves are as much interested as any
one else They have their own particular
arrangements to make for this afternoon,
and. from their juvenile point of view,
doubtless most important ones. OF the live
stock now in the Home there is to be
counted 1 dog-a pug called Don-2 lambs,
Billy and one whose name is uncertain and
adjustable, . rabbits and several kittens.
The lambs and the dogs are receiv-
ing equally careful training with
the children. Wednesdays and Satur-
days of every week are the universal days
of baths, and Don and Billy and the other
lamb go as conscientiously to the tub as do
the children. Last night an extra plunge
was worked into the week, on account of
the fete, and when last seen the four-footed
animals were in spick-span condition. They
are to wear blue ribbons to-day, such as
they appear In on particular occasions. A
unfortunately was approaching too near the
mutton order. The fete appeared to 20 to his
head and he butted all the good, philan-
way, quite regardless that his tenure Of office
depended upon his victims good will.
Shortly after he came to an untimely death
at the hand Of An assassinaring butcher.
Again he appeared among his old friends,
the orphans. But he was piecemeal and DIFF
icult OF recognition. But everyone said
that In death he was sweeter than in life.

NATURE has been mother kind, indeed,
to the Ptttsburg Tennis Club, whose grounds
are among the most beautiful of the sort In
the city. So far they are unimpaired by any
effort of the landscape gardener. The
prosa1c hand of man has only been per-
mitted in the tennis courts where it has
done a good VIC X, but so far as all other
parts are conce ned, their original lowell
ness is untouched. Dog tooth violets flour
ish there in dog tooth violet days. and the
big, dark purple violet Of the later summer
comes strewed rs thick as mama I'm the
wilderness. The hawthorn trees, the long
grass and O little barn embellish and form
the lovely entrance from Center avenue.
The good taste OF the managers is to be COM
mended in not insisting upon civiltzfng the
heaven sent loveliness of this spot.
CoNvERsING about the outlook in travel
with a steamship agent, he said, with moro
emphasis and gesture than can readily be
conveyed here: "For some inexplicable
reason several Pittsburgers insist upon
going to New York to make their arrange
ments for travelling. Why, 1 can't tell.
Perhaps for the same reason that a woman
must buy her goods in the East and have
her frocks made in New York, II she can't
afford to send for them to Paris. am sorry
to see business being taken away from Pitts
burg. Not on my own account alone, but
for every other man in the same business
as myself Besides am sorry to know that
Pittsburgers are so foolish Just now they
this town good enough IOr them, and be- |
lieve there are women here who would |
be crazy enough to run T1I to Ne New @ York for
enough to make money in, it should be good |
enough to spend money in. 1t is very well |
known also that in almost every instance O |
man can more satisfactorily be suited here |
than anywhere olse."

P. Hazen, of TIppecanoe, were married at
