The Volume of Business of the Month just
Closed Fairly Satisfactory.
INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 81.
As a rule. the wholesale men speak of the
volume of business in the month of August
as having been very satisfactory, and with
some IN improvement over that of August,
on most inc of goods enabled the whole
sale men TO sell closer than they could were
the fluctuations frequent and sharp. In
dry goods the changes in prices have been
sli Notwithstanding the shaky condi-
ton of tho wool market a portion of the
time. Grocers have little room to complain
of the volume OF their business, or of the
changes In values. Sugars are but aquarter
of a cent higher than thirty days ago, and
~coffees, roasted grades. only a half cent
higher, while green cOffees have ruled
steady and firm through the month. In
the produce markets trade was active
through the entire month. Goods have
sold low in some cases. but the demand was
such that in the aggregate the commission
men were well paid for their labors. Eggs.
butter and poultry seldom bring as good
prfoes as they have through the month just
closed, and Tor eggs and butter good prices
are Indicated next month. at least in the
early part of it. The hide men and the
millerS have had some grounds for COM

and weak prices have prevailed most of
the time. All classes of merchants begin
the new month with bright prospects. the
large crops and easy money market being
excellent stimulants to retail trade. which
means good business for the wholesale men.

The Ring Finger.

In reply to the query, (Which is the proper
engagement ring finger and which the we'd
dingfn jewelers. Circular replies:
The third finger is the preferred one for
both betrothal and marriage rings, although
efforts have been made at various times to
make the engagement ring finger the second.
Two reasons are assigned for this preference
of the third digit as the ''ring finger" First,
the belief entertained by the ancients that a
delicate vein ran from the third finger of the
left hand to the heart Second, in the Roman
church the thumb and two first fingers repre-
sent the Trinity, the third being the hus-
bands, ''to whom the woman owes allegiance
next to God" The left hand was chosen to
show that ''the woman is to be subject to the
man"
In answer TO the objection urged, eff en-
gagement and wedding ring fingers being the
same, you have got to break the engagement
whereas you are really sealing it," the au-
thority quoted says: "When the betrothal
ring is removed to make place for the we'd
ding ring it is in token that the engagement
with a fance is at an end and with 4 wife
Just begun In a word, the marriage cere-
mony ends the betrothal. The custom Of
moving the engagement ring above the we'd
ding ring is a significant one, for the former
not only serves as guard to the latter, but
is a constant reminder of halcyon days,
whether marriage proves failure or not"

SOCIAL ETIQUETTE.
Mourning Custonis-o Which
Good Taste and Best Usage Require.

Good Taste and Best Usage Require.
There can hardly be said to be any rigid
etiquette of mourning in this country, for
many people entertain conscientious scruples
against putting on mourning garb, and, also,
great diversity exists as to the length of time
devoted to seclusion. There are some points,
however, which good taste would seem to de-
eide with sufficient emphasis. If people
choose, as many do, not to wear mourning,
then they can go unchallenged to any place
of amusement, for they have asserted their
right to be independent; but if they put on
mourning, they should respect its etiquette
Those who do adopt deep mourning, fol-
low in general the English fashions, in regard
TO which Good Housekeeping makes the fol
lowing explanations:
No jewelry is allowable in deepest mourn
ing, and during this period the wearer does
not accept any invitations or appear at any
place of public resort The deepest mourn
ing is necessarily a widows, and it is in ex-
tremely bad taste to wear such mourning on
any other occasion. Thus a daughter wears
much simpler mourning, and it would be os-
tentatious for her to adopt the dress suitable
for her mother. 1t is in bad taste to continue
wearing diamonds or any gems during the
period that Grape is worn. This seems self
evident to any person of taste, but this rule
is so continually violated in this country that
it is necessary to repeat this Well-meaning
women, who do not intend to violate the ca
non of refined taste, sometimes wear solitaire
diamonds with a widows cap.
The time during which Grape is worn va
ries with individual feeling, and no rules can
be laid down. 1t is not, however, considered
in good taste for widow adopting mourning
to Law aside her Grape and enter society in
less time than a year, while it is allowable
for daughter to appear at social gatherings
in two or three months. The stationery used
in mourning is finished with black band,
which varies from quarter of an inch to a
mere line on the edge. The extreme band,
half an inch in depth, is seldom or never used
by refined persons. The quarter inch band
is used only for a few months while the
mourner is in Grape. Cards are not necessary
while in the deepest mourning.
A very slight band of black is sometimes
used on the visiting card, after Grape is taken
off and the lady enters society for the first
time since her seclusion. 1t has been an open
question how ladies should intimate to their
friends that they are willing to receive and
pay visits and ready to enter society. 1t is
customary to send out cards of thanks for
kind inquiries to those who have called or
sent inquiries, and when these cards are sent
out it is sufficient intimation that the lady
will receive calls, or the lady entering society
NAV leave her ordinary visiting card. 1t is
also an open question in this country whether
a widow may retain her husbands name. In
London widow uses her own name only,
but custom has sanctioned the use of the hus-
bands name in this country should she prefer.

on merely the desired coat of delicate brown;
but the young women who freckle, have
decidedly hard time of it. For the comfort
of these unfortunate maidens are reproduced
here some plans that are successfully followed
in combating the seasons terror.
Washing the face in acid buttermilk, an
cd country cosmetic, is still in favor, but
the juice pressed from cucumbers is alto
gether preferable and, though of old repute,
is a fashionable London preparation. The
juice of milkweed also is proprietary lotion
for the face, sold by modish cosmetic artists
abroad. The home formula for making it is !.
Bruise, and then squeeze out the juice of
mill1weed, and to this juice add three times
the quantity of soft water. Battle the skin
with this night and morning, and wash after
ward with clean water Those vegetable To-
tons being gummy, protective and defensive,
refine the skin, and, unlike spirituous washes,
do not bring out the hair on the cheeks.
A favorite lotion consists of equal parts of
fresh lemon juice, rose water and rectified
spirits, and little powdered borax. The
whole is allowed to stand twenty-four hours,
and is strained through muslin and bottled.
Or you may touch the freckles with javelle
water, taking great care it does not touch the
eyes, lips, or the inside of the nose, and after
a few minutes washing off with lemon or
vinegar This, however, is rather severe
treatment.
Perhaps the most satisfactory Of all is the
following process, recently recommended:
When the unhappy frecller comes home from
a long day on top of coach or on the deck of
a yacht, let her battle her face in a basin of
water as hot as she can bear her hand in,
using a soft, fiat sponge, and it will be no
harm if she first dissolves in this hot water q.
handful of almond meal The face should
then be dried with a soft towel, not rubbed,
but gently mopped dry, and then lightly
powdered with little pulveriZed orris root.
This will take all the soreness and infanma-
ton out Of the skin and will prevent her little
nose from turning a rosy carmine, as might
very probably be the case otherwise. She
may safely go down to dinner this way, for
the frecBles will not appear that evening; it is
the first look in the glass the next morning
when she jumps out of bed that is so dis
couraging to the freckler after day out of
doors
To prevent this woe she must carry with
her wherever she goes a little box of pow
dered sulphur and lemon or two. When
she is about to retire for the night let her
wipe off the orris root powder, put table
spoonful of this sui phur in a saucer, squeeze
the juice Of half lemon over it, and spread
the thin paste she makes of this all over her
face and hands; and let her not go to bed
until it is thoroughly dry. Wien she wakes
in the morning and washes off what is left of
the paste she will find not single spot under
meath it; or, if she happen to be very OBJ
stinate freckler indeed, they will be so few
and light as not to cause her any great grief.

The blazer is a conspicuous garment this
season, being decidedly striking as regards
its stripes and richness of color. French
flannel with bright tinted stripes is a fabric
much used in blazers Ali sorts of combina-
tions are displayed, and it is difficult to ar
rive at any conclusion as to the preferences
of fashion. Alternate stripes Of orange and
black are exceedingly popular; then there are
pink and white, white and black for those in
mourning. The blazer being cut sack shape
permits of the greatest freedom Of movement
and at the same time displays the figure to
advantage
A cap to wear at tennis, much favored is
that known as the Elton shape, fitting the
head closely. 1t may match the blazer in
stripe and color, or it may be of cream white
flannel or of some fancy pattern of silk.
White flannel trousers are the sort most
largely worn with blazers.
Bicycle suits are largely made in dark or
gray colors, and consist of a Norfolk coat,
with knee brooches to match in material and
color. Ribbed stockings are affected with
this costume and the cap is fiat and peaked.

Powdered Sugar for Diphtheria.

The good effect of sugar as an application
to unhealthy granulations has long been
recognized. a German physician now highly
recommends the treatment of diphtheria by
the installation of very finely powdered
sugar upon the tonsils, pharynx, posterior
mares, the entrance to the larynx, and, after
tracheotomy, through the canula. The dan

decomposition lessened, and in many cases in

threatening symptoms gradually ceased. As

Epoch

The transition from long, lingering and
painful sickness to robust health marks an
epoch in the life of the individual. Such
remarkable event is treasured in the mem
DRY and the agency whereby the good health
has been attained is gratefully blessed.
Hence it is that so much is heard in praise
of Electric Bitters. So many feel they owe
their restoration to health to the use of the
Great Alternative and Tonic. If you are
troubled with any disease of the Kidneys,
