Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1892-10-30
If marriage is failure, a very unsuccess-

If marriage is q failure, very unsuccess'
ful week has just come to close. There
were more weddings in Plttsburg and Alle-
gheny last week than during any other six
days of 1892 There were so many we'd
dings that the supply of ''best men" and
bridesmaids ran short, and the same young
men and maidens were called upon to act
at more than one wedding during the week
In these times wedding must have tho
proper auxilliaries or it is not satisfactory
to the friends of the principals, which is
one Of the main points of consideration in
the modern marriage ceremonies So the
eligible young men and maidens who make
good figure in church or parlor, and who
are good natured and willing to see their
friends take the important step that they
know NAV be their fate al some time, have
bee in great request, and have been COM
PEELED duri ng the week TO do double duty.
A pretty idea in fall weddings is using the
chrysanthemum IN decorating the house and
church, and, in some cases. for the bouquet
car ried by the bride. The Japanese i'm
perlaI blossom is grand enough to be used
in the most important ceremonies of life,
and surely there is none more important
than q wedding.
We are promised almost as many Novem-
Der weddings as we had in October. Among
them are the Jones-Dalzell, on the 10th;
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. on the 10th; Nc
Kee-Sutton, on the 21st; Garland McKib-
bin, on the sth, and Beymer- Gregg on the
10th. Out-of-town weddings will be the
Flack-Clark at Washington, Pa, on the
1st, and the Preston-Elliott, at Verona All
these are of considerable interest to Pitts
burgers

Adams, Grandview, Shsdyside, will be under
the direction of Miss S. II, killikelly and

of the Homeopathic Hospital, and will be
carried out bv a number of leaders of Pitts

brilliant toi lets viii be seen, number of
ladies who will attend having allowed it to
leak out that they will appear in some of
the daintiest creations OF the dressmaker's
art, made or imported specially for the oc-
casion. Mrs. Josiah Cohen has consented
TO render pianoforte solo, and it is there
fore certain that a treat is in store for all
lovers of music. Chocolate, coffee, ice
cream and oysters will be dispensed by the
fair hands OF some of the ladies interested,
and it Is expected that large sum will be
realized IRON these sources, as we'll as from

E. Collins, Treasurer, while the Board of
Managers comprises the names of most of
the prominent society ladies of Pittsburg.
Autumn leaves are being pressed into the
service of fall brides We talk about June
roses for June weddings, but it must be
allowed that autumn leaves for autumn
weddings are quite as beautiful. as well as
appropriate. AT an out-of-town wedding of
last week bridal couple stood under a
yellows and green's The effect is said to
have been indescribably lovely.
Superstition is not fashionable in these
practical days, aud vet how many maiden
will tomorrow night be tempted to try
some of the charms tha. are supposed to
bring to her earthly gaze the spiritual
presentment of her husbaud-that-is- to- bel
There is a sweet fascination about
"Ail Hallow Fen that is irresistible, no
matter how one may fight against it. There
will be the delightful drawing around
the wide fireplaces, with nuts and apples,
and all the fun that is usually attendant
upon parties on the 31st o. October. 1t is
stated in old book of English folk lore that
lime kiln is a useful agent In finding out
the name of future husband The charm
IS worked in this wise: If mayde would
know ye name of We man she is to marie,
Jet her, on All Hallow Fen, steal out to a
lime kiln and throw in q clue of blue warn,
still holding We other end. Presently We
end in We kiln will be sharply pulled. Then
We maybe must say, "Who hold?" Where
upon We voice oil her future husband will
pronounce his name-both We Christian and
surname. There NAV not be any lime kilns
in Plttsburg, but if they are needed for
such an important purpose as this, no
doubt they Will be forthcoming Maidens
in Pittsburg are not to be kept out Of such
a.delighttul secret as the names of their
matrimonial fateg by the simple objection
of scarcity of lime kilns Besides, it NAV
be found that lime kiln will be good

worth trying.
Stepping from the ideal to the intens civ
practical, one of the latest fads in Paris is
to eat the chrysanthemum flower Worse.
the flower is cooked before being devoured.
One way is to boil and eat it hot, like
potato es or sauer kraut, although epicures
steam the flowers, flavor them with a Glove,
and eat them with trufles, sprinkled with
pepper and salt
