about three hours, it has been the custom
of late years for the gentlemen to leave
the table with the ladies and not return.
The custom during the earlier admins
trations was for the ladies to have their
coffee served in the drawing room, and for
the gentlemen to return to drink single
glass of wine to the health of the Presi-
dent. Gentlemen wishing to enjoy cigar
retire during the coffee to the corridor at
the foot of the private stairway, but join
the ladies when the presiding lady makes
the motion to retire. After the prom
enade through the suite of parlors the
gentlemen surrender the ladies to the gen.
tlemen with whom they came. and with
their own ladies take leave of the Presi-
dent and his lady. They should receive
their wrappings and leave the building
quietly and promptly. The last of the
guests should have retired within thirty
minutes after leaving the table.

From the Washington Star.
The usual hour for a state dinner is s P.
NJ. As the guests arrive, which should be
fifteen minutes before the hour set, they
are shown 10 the rooms for the removal of
wrappines, and descend by the private
stairway 10 the grend corridor and pro-
ceed direct to the East room, where the
President and lady await them. Each
gentleman, upon entering the room, IS
handed by an usher a small envelope con-
tanning a card inscribed with the plan of
the table and bearing the name Of the lady
he will escort On the diagram the num-
her Of the seats be and the lady viii oc-
cupy are marked After being received
bv the President he examines the card
and Immediately joins the lady he viii
accompany to the state dining hall. The
lady whom he has brought remains with
him until her escort appears.
All the guests having arrived at the ap-
pointed hour, the steward announces that
the dinner Is in readiness. The President,
with the first lady guest, leads the way TO
the state dining room, followed BY the
remaining guests. The presiding lady,
escorted by the principal man, close the
line. The Marine band meanwhile per-
forms a suitable march.
In the dining room the guests find their
places and take the seats assigned them by
the plate cards, which correspond in loca-
tion with the diagram handed them upon
entering the East room.
There are four services at all state din
ners. The dishes in their order are served
on silver salver by walters, the guests
helping themselves. The chief waiter
serves the President first, and then pro-
ceeds toward the right, and the second
waiter toward the left. The same course
Is observed on the opposite side Of the
table, beginning with the presiding lady.
No one is ever served twice. The plates
of one course are removed as soon as each
guest is finished, and the plate forthe next
Is put in its place.

DR.. S. Weir Mitchell, OF Philadelphia,
recently received rather curious present
from a young lady whom he had rescued
from nervous invalidism. 1t was cord of
white oak chopped down and sawed up by
her own hands, and sent as circumstantial
evidence of the health she had gained by
following his directions to live an open-air
life in the woods.

Dorothy,s Wedding Gifts.

When, m summer day in 1870, it
was told in the village of Farmlake that
Dorothy Nane wa going to be marriek
to James Hogue, all of her friends set
to work to prepare her a present.
Every n was fond of good little
Dorothy, and wished to show love for
her. Moreover, the whole village
knew that the young people were poor,
and hence the gifts were meant to be
useful to them in their beginning of
married life.
Dorothy's mother gave her a dozen
coarse linen sheets of her own weaving;
her brother brought two sheep which
he had raised especially for her; the
old carpenter next door made her a
table and a wooden bowl for kneading
dough; n farmers wife knitted her q
shawl, another mittens, q third wove
her a fine table-cloth to be used only
on grand occasions.
Dorothy was very happy in her, new
treasures, Not only would each one of
them make her married life more COM
Portable and pleasant, but each spoke to
her of the deep, tender affection which
she had won. She turned them over
with a throbbing heart and wet eyes.
AS long as she lived her wedding gifts
were kept and regarded with sacred
reverence.
Now, in 1890. Dorothy Hogue, a
great-grandchild of this little bride, is
preparing for her marriage. Farmlake
is o q large city; the Hogues live in
an immense new Colonial mansion"
upon the site of the old cabin which
was the home of their ancestors.
Dorothy is going to marry a man who
has a great fortune, and she is said to
have in her own right nearly as much
as he. During the two weeks preced-
ing her marriage hundreds of wedding
| gifts pour into the house. She aud her
sisters scan them with sharp criticisms
and sarcastic comments.
"a silver coffee set from the Smiths ?
Yes, it's very pretty" is the comment.
Smith needs papa's backing in the
bank. That explains his generosity.
This pearl pendant is from Mrs. Johns.
Now 1 call that mean! Three of those
Johns girls have had wedding gifts
from us each one worth this pearl
thing. These toilet sets Til change
for glass. One can't have too much of
that. Here are six grape scissors, and
every II marked so that I cannot
change them, or even give them away.
How stupid! Bell Boyd set aside all
the trashy part of her gifts to send as
wedding %presents!" exclaimed Dorothy.
She cleared hundreds by that little
game"
There is not a touch of feeling or
sentiment for any of the costly offer
ings. Even her fathers gift, a dwell
ing splendidly furnished, has been the
subject of sharp dispute between him
and his daughter.
The custom, like many others, has
lost its first high, tender significance,
and degenerated into an opportunity for
display and barter and sale. A man or
woman who means to keep life simple
and true will thrust all such heartless
observances out of it.
Better the bride should go to the
altar without a single gift than loaded
with tokens Of sordid calculation and
sham goodwill.
When the soul has died out OF a Gus
tom, let it be buried out Of sight. Like
all other dead things. it has become an
offence.-Youth's Companion.

The sensitivcncss Of Youth.

Boys, especially, shrink from any APP
proach to ridicule on the part of their
elders. Only yesterday a wise and
amiable philosopher confessed to me
that his disapproval of q certain person
OF note arose from nothing more seri-
u than an unlucky question put to
him in his boyhood by the celebrity we
We're discussing. The man, meaning to
be pleasantly %iocose, in the presence of
Others, had asked the boy what he
thought of matters and things in gen
eral. The fitting repartee is not APP
parent at once even TO q mature mind,
and the poor victim had remained con-
fused and silent, recalling his painful
=! osltlon ever afterward at sight of hi;
tormentor-until ~disp!easure, thriving
upon itself, grew into resentment.
We may be so unfortunate as to en-
counter antipathetic creatures at all
seasons Of our lives; but surely the an
tlpathies most deeply rooted have their
seed sown early, as this one was. Be-
ware OF youth it is to be dreaded, not
despised. The callow fledgling whom
we laugh at may burst into song one
day. Worse than that. he may impale
us tor our shortcomings with a shaft of
satire, as the poet OF the ages did poor
Justice Shallow. We, through him,
may live e%ternally inglorious, while he
reads his history in all nations eyes,

Tho Reunion.
By NISETTE NJ. LowATER.

Fall in, fall in. o, boys in blue the thrilling
bugles play,
Shoulder to shoulder, as you stood in days so
far away;
The screaming fife the warm air fills with rush,
and ebb and flow.
And rattlins drums an echo give, as in long
years ago.
The self-same flags before YOU move that waved
so proudly then
Oer prancing steeds, and flashing steel, and
armed and marching men-
Then why should tear-miSts fill your eyes and
dim their martial glow?
Not thus you looked in rank and file when
fronting to the foe.
Ye were the victors in that strife that filed the
world with dread,
Your names in characters of gold on history's
page are read,
The freedom which our fathers gave your sons
inherit still
Then why shou d eyes which gazed undimlned
Mt death with teardrops fill?
ALAS whene'er we form in line the blue-clad
dead arise,
whose graves we made SO long ago beneath the
Southern skies;
1 see them all again to-day as plainly us of
yore,
And step by step they march with us-the boys
who come no more.

Together oft we met the foe and Won the deadly
fray;
But he was taken and l was left-I made his
grave alone,
And said u prayer above its head, and rudely

"To-day l saw him in the ranks-his elbow
touched my own.
His sunny hair was bright us gold, though mine
has silver grown;
He moved beside me us we marched. his step

But when turned to grasp his hand, alas! he
was not there!
"But they who fell are living still, and ward and

Above the land where they were lnid-a mighty

our banner free,
For they who died for freedoms sake shall
