Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1892-11-27

I sell, and now the men as we'll as the ladies
are to enjoy a similar pleasure. The Art
Society will hold its 1S6th reception at the
/ Pittsburg Club Thester NJ nday evening.
December 5, and Mrs Russell will be the
society's guest on that occasion. She will
lecture on "The Art of Speech, and there
is no doubt that she will expound that art
in an attractive and instructive mann r:
Admission will be by membership card
only, and people who do not belong to the
society, but who would like to hear Mrs.
Russell, can ioin in the meantime and thus
| enjoy the right to hear her speak. No
cards will be issued before December 2.
| There is no doubt that Mrs. Russell will
speak to a very large audience, since all
| the ladies who heard her at Mrs. Magee's s
house will want to hear ter again, and the
men, who have never listened to her expo
| sition of aesthetic truths, will be anxious 70
do so. Tne permanent art gallery at the
society's rooms Is attracting great deal OF
attention, and the society is being conn
mended on all sides for its praiseworthy
step in this direction.
Advent Sunday will be observed musically
at Calvary Church this afternoon by the
rendering of Spohr's Last judgment" at
special choir service, with the following
quartet: Miss Irene Semple, Miss Ella
Semple, Mr. Dan E. Nutting ard Mr.. Harry
NJ Mays.
We have begun to think about Christ
mas, now that Thanksgiving is over. AL
though Christmas is honored in this coun-
try as much as anywhere in the Christian
world, it is q question whether We get all
out of it that We might The children's
Christmas party, that is such popular
form of entertainment in Europe during
the midwinter season, might be introduced
into this country with advantage The
entertainments in churches and Sunday
schools, good as they are, do not cover the
want entirely, and in Europe this fact is
recognized A Christmas tree, with snap
dragon and other Christmas games, and
none of the formal Exercises" that often
prove ttresome to the children, is what the
youngsters want nowadays, and perhaps
they will get what they want if anyone will
take the trouble to give it to them.
Cards have been received announcing the
marriage of Miss Elizabeth F. Winnett,
daughter of Captain Mark Winnett, of
Rochester, to Mr. Samuel f. Ewart, of the
East End. The wedding will be cele-
brated next Wednesday at Rochester, Pa
The regulation bridal gown" consisting
of white silk, tulle veil, orange blossoms
and SO forth, that has been so dear to the
heart of every young girl from time i'm
memorial, promises to be displaced by
toilette that will admit of delicate, if not
gay, colors. At one of the many home
weddings of last week the bride was attired
in gown of pink satin, over which bishops
lawn, embroidered in colors, was tastefully
draped. The gown was cut square in the
neck and had large puffs of the lawn for
sleeves. The whole was trimmed with
profusion of pink ribbon. AT another
wedding in one of the suburbs during the
week the bride wore a gown of pink
brocaded satin. So it really seems as if
society writers will have something else to
describe than conventional gown, ''regu-
lation gown, etc.
Miss Bush, of Niagara, Canada, is soon to
become the bride of DR.. ]. A. Lippincott,
of this city. Miss Bush is the sister of Mrs
David Bissell, of the East End, whose we'd
ding occurred last summer.
A useful hint Is given by a well-known
society lady of Pittsburg as to how to re-
main popular when making heightened
visits TO friends She says the secret is
nothing more than to take care not to give
your hostess and her family too much OF
your presence. Retire to your own room
occasionally and stay there, ostensibly to
take nap. Do not sleep if you do not de-
sire it, but rest yourself and the household
by remaining there for few hours q day.
She says that this is sure way OF prevent
ing your welcome from wearing out, and
she speaks from happy experience.
