Third Dance OF Monday Evening Series at
the Pittsburg C1ub-Arra ngements for a
Coming Opening observation-disclosures
Functions Noted and Polite People Par
aEraphed.
THE third of the series of Monday evening
dances was held in the Pittsburg Club
Theater last night, when, in spite OF the
lowering and altogether unattract1ve nature
of the evening, reasonably good atten-
dance was present. 1t is no longer
to be doubted that these Monday
evening dances are not what they
were. The interest is dying out, but
the failure is not due to any misinanage-
ment by the present committee, which was,
if memory serves wei, ll,appointed this season.
The people are tired and these young men
were, unfortunately for them, put in charge
just at the beginning OF the end. The great
est credit possible has been won by the COM
mittee by its undertaking course of energetic
effort co carry an old man OF the woods on
Its shoulders. What is known as the small
dances is surely replacing the Older, tunc.
tion, the polite nature or which is evidenced
by the fact that the first of the two dances is
at tho Pittsburg Club. 1t is not impossible
to conceive the next season without Mon
day evening dance as it E known to-day and
a series of two small dances ioufishing and
things will suddenly take on another hue.
THE opening reception at the Pittsburg
Club, previously arranged for Thursday
evening, 2lst inst, has been delayed until
the succeeding Thursday: disappointment
about the furniture, which did not arrive
when expected, being the cause of the post
ponement. The reception will be given by
the Governing Committee of the club, as
sisted by q number of their fashionable
women friends. under whose chaperonage
the entire club shall be thrown open for the
inspection of that fortunate world to which
IT belongs. Associated with Mr.. william \.
REV the President on the committee are
Mr.. Frank ?. Sproul, Mr.. William G. Park,
Nathaniel Holmes, Mr.. William G.. Price,
MIR. Joseph X. Dilworth and Mr.. J. Harvey
white. The ladies' committee is composed
OF Mrs. W. n. Frew. Mrs. F. 2. Sproul, Mrs.
W. G. Park, Mrs. W. r. Sewell and Mrs.
Joseph Dilworth.
REDFERN is making the going-away dress
of the Princess May of Teck against the COM
ing ceremony which makes her the wife of
the heir presumptive of England. 1t is to
be of white cloth, of English manufacture,
trimmed with sable. Elise, the famous
dressmaker. Is making the wedding gown,
the satin for which is being woven at Spital-
HelUS- Inc DfOcaue 1Or the tr21 Is Deln0
presented by the Ladies Committe of the
National Silk Association. The dress will be
trimmed with Honiton lace, and tho train
will be borne by eight bridesmaids. all of
whom are to be daughters OF dukes, earls or
marquises. They will wear white and silver,
trimmed with May blossoms, in compliment
to Princess Mays pretty name. The news
papers at the present time are qIarreling
over the place to be selected for the Wedding
ceremonials, but they all unite in saying that
Windsor will not be the place. This last is
quite likely correct, since, when the English
people are talking of u wedding present for
the Duke and Duchess of Clarence in the
form of a fat check, it would be more polite
elephants and all. Undoubtedly it will take
place in London, and the date is set for Feb
ruary.
THERE is a possibility of the Linden Club
adding cafe to its otherwise cosy and con-
venient clubhouse. 1t has always been II
matter OF regret that such an essential part
of clubhouse as a kitchen should have
been forgotten by those who planned the
building, as it is absolutely necessary when
supper5 are being served on cotiiion nights.
There is also Il complaint that service in the
neighborhood of the clubhouse ia very bad.
Since the portentious sister clubs in town do
not hesitate to have 81 catering establish
Tuent for the use of their members, there
seems no reason why the Linden Club should
not fill want keenly felt and increase it's
that should movement like this take
tangible form the promoters of it will not
want for encouragement.
