Some Pretty Decorations Described
Guests Fed at Guinea q Head,
From the Chicago Post.

From the Chicago Post.
The feature of the Stanley wedding breakfast
was crystaIized edible roses, gardenias and
orange flowers arranged in sprays along the
table. Here, however, is something prettier
and more suitable: Plant date stones in small
flower pots filled with rich, peaty soil and sand;
water well and keep warm and they grow into
pretty table palms, with long pinnate leaves.
Some English noblemen-the Duke of Suth-
erand for onc-have contracts with their chefs
to provide for every guest at 30 much head
guinea q head is considered fair terms
Dinners are not such serious affairs nowadays
as they used to be. About half the number Of
dishes are prepared for dinner now that used
to be. The people don't stay at the table now
long enough to digest good dinner. 1t WAS
all quick. quick, said monsieur. In the season
some OF the French chefs find i. pays very well
to go out working by the job. They get about
five guineas for doing a dinner. This often
takes two days to get through.
Sets OF peach knives, with curved, keen
pointed, gold-plated blades and handles Of
Hungarian porcelain are the last coquetry Of
the dinner table. Exquisite dessert bowls and
fagons appear in the amber glass, cased in
gold filigree, set with sparks of jeweled glass,
if not real small stones. The choicest dinners,
however. for summer arc set out with white
satiny linen and abundance ofcrystal in pierced
silver setting and only family tinged flowers

The plush dinner scarf3 and colored satin
underlays are left to hotel and restaurant dim
ners. A plush mat is out of taste. About our
eating we want nothing that will not wash and
come out purity itself. Besides plush and
satin are ''smelly" and recall the roast duck
and celery sauce too long. Linen damask, cut
work and drawn borders are the only fabrics
allowable near a dinner table and these are
elegant enough in ali conscience. The flowers
are best OF the scentless sort or with subdued
perfume. Sweet peas are too much with
stewed chicken and mushrooms. Scentless gar
den pinks, corn flowers and black scabious do
not force their odor upon you. Spider lilies,
clematis (white and purple), late spinas are
safe table flowers, arranged with ferns and
ciperns in loose feathery sprays as high and
lightly rs possible.
Seeding and quaking grasses are very grace
full among the flowers, which should be starry
and single or much ruffled and silky leaved
The big hybrid perpetual roses are too much
for graceful decoration. They look filter for
the salad bowl. Between the outer vases ar

Silver has lost the buoyancy it ex-

But the Northeastern leaders in Con-
gress knew what they were about
when they passed the bullion bill, if
the Western Republicans who voted
for it, dill not. Senator Vest, Mr.
Bland and other Western Democrats
predicted that il would degrade silver

output OF silver bullion can be calcu-
lated more closely than the crop of
wheat, and as the supply is limited, III
few hards and easily controlled, it is,
of all commodities, most subject TO he
machinatiuns of spectators. The Sec
