nent part in the exercises were j. W. Walter
Hay, Rev. DIR. A. c. Ellis, Miss May Wight
man, Rev. DR.. W. ]. Reid, Rev. DR.. j. A.
Story, and Miss Henrietta wrilht, of Bom-

drawer WIS opened by Rev. H. V. Givier.
The closing words of the institute were do.
liyered by Rev. DIR. w. F. Oldham. The in
stttute Is regarded rs successful in every

work has been made much palmer by it to
many who are interested in that form Of
Christian labor

nurses at the West Penn Hospital last even-
ing. There was q large attendance, and the
address was much enjoyed.

of baked beans, brown bread, pumpkin pie,
etc. There will be fancy work table, on
which articles suitable for Christmas pres

AN orange tea and Christmas sale of
articles suitable for presents are to be held
IN the Williamsburg Opera House tomorrow
evening. 1t will be under the auspices OF
Trinity Reformed Church. Supper will be
served from 20 O'CLOCK.
THE interest in the permanent exhibition
of the Art Society is evidently increasing.
Three new pictures were added to the col
lection yesterday, and were the subject of
much admfring criticism. It is, perhaps,
hardly understood, even now, by the pub
lie, that the permanent nrt gallery is free.
NEXT Friday evening ought to be memoir
able one in the Shady Avenue Baptist
Church. as the Allegheny County Christian
Endeavorers are to hold one of their regular
quarterly open meetings there at that time.
These meetings are always occasions OF
great interest to the Endeavorers. This
one, 1t is expected, will be doubly so, be-
cause they are to hear all about the doings
of the Christian Endeavor State Convention
at Altoona The union a few weeks ago
elected its new officers for the coming year,
and on Friday evening Mr. +. c. Britain,
the new President, will mako his inaugural
address. There will also be good singing
and "Free Parliament" !" in which the En-
deavorers will discuss "W Whut Christian En-. =.
deavor has done and what tt can do"
MISS ELLA DEvoE, Secretary of the
Young Women's Christian Association, is
arranging for the organization of Colum-
bus Club. 1t is the intention of the club to
read up on the discovery and early history
the present day. so that when they visit the
Worlds Fair they will be able to enjoy the
great exhibition intelligently. They will
not conf1ne their studies to their own coun-
try, however, but will learn all they can
about other countries. oil of whom will send
something to the Fair. and are, therefore, Of
particularfnterestt to Americansatth this time.
QUEEN VICTORIA has set q sensible
fashion in pet dogs. The other day she gave
a white collie to one OF her maids OF honor,
and the pretty, Intelligent creature is now
the lad in England. Anything is better
than the pug, which for 80 long q time held
possession of my lady's boudoir.
MISS BERTHA FUHRER, teacher of Ger
man in Duquesne, will address the students
and friends in the chapel at 2:30 to-day. She
will speak especially of her observations in
quarantine in New York. Miss Fuhrer is O
very Intelligent and observing young lady,
and will no doubt interest all who lind time
to attend. The address will be Tree to the
public.
AN English bride, the other day, set 4
useful example to the American girl who is
about to prepare her bridal trousseau She
had $500 with which to buy her wedding |
dress, but she saved $3.50 of the sum by |
hiring dress from O friend for $40. She |
argued that it would be necessary to wear /
the dress for only an hour or two. and why |
should she spend 30 much money upon it? |
1t is a recognized fact that a wedding dress |
is not of much use when the ceremony has |
been performed, although it costs so much |
money. There are plenty OF young married |
women who have their wedding dresses
safely put away, having never worn them
since the momentous day. If the brides of /
the next year or so could be persuaded to
hire them, instead of wasting their money |
on new ones, the wives who have the |
dresses and the brides-elect who expect to
wear them could each make money by the
