Why buy Second Grade
Wheels when you can get an
old reliable make for above
prices.
Ramblers come fully guar
anteed, and we can furnish any
customer the guaratee IN
,Oriting, but so far we have not
found a customer who cared to
have it put in writing, as they
all know that when we state
that we will replace any part
of a wheel proving defective
within a year from date of
purchase, that we will do so.
If you want a good wheel
that will not cost so much as
the above, we have the well
known Hartford, which is
made by the Pope Mfg. Co.,
who make the Columbia, and
you can get a Hartford from
$50 to $85, according to size
and style. The same guarantee
for replacement of any defec-
tive parts goes to you with a
Hartford.
Yellow Fellows will not be
here on the Australia, as they
are having such a run on the
Pacific Coast that our order
could not be filled in time for
her, but we are promised them
by a sailing vessel to leave
soon after the steamer left San
Francisco and will let you
know when they come.

are the wheels that are to be

too strongly insisted upon that a moder-
ately hot iron is the dressmaker's best
friend. Where sewing is being done at
homo irons should always be kept hot, in
readiness fOr immediate use, for they
should be employed at almost every stage
of the putting together of a garment.
In pressing open the seams of a cloth
skirt or bodice use a not very hot iron and
bear as heavily upon it as possible. Do
not pass it to and fro, as that is apt to
leave gloss, even on the right side of the
goods, which it does not touch. After one
portion Of the seam is pressed lift the iron
along its length and set it down again,
and so on. Do not moisten the cloth be-
fore pressing without trying piece of the
goods with water previously, to be sure
that the color is not changed by dampness.
Never put an iron on the right side of the
goods, even with piece of muslin between
it and the cloth. For convex curves, like
the lower edge of 4 standing collar, press
heavily with the iron, drawing the ma
terial at the same time. For concave
curves, like the top of the collar, or for
any place where it is desired to decrease
the fullness, moisten the cloth and apply
the iron, allowing it to remain until the
cloth is dry.
The figure in the illustration wears a
gown of coachmans cloth. The skirt is
very wide ard is ornamented around the
foot by three stitched bias bands. On
each side of the tablier the bands are
adorned with steel buttons. The half
long cape of velour du nord is mounted in
large flutes on a yoke which IS covered by
a pelerine of sable, with high, faring
collar and q trimming of tails. The toque
of green felt is edged with sable and trim
med with choux Of velvet of two tones,
mauve and violet. A plated aigret of
green velvet is placed at the left side.

GROWERS TOY DUCK HUNT.
A Pretty COnceiG of HOke Smiths
Dinner Party.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.- President
Cleveland has had another ducking trip.
Mrs. Cleveland accompanied him this
time. They returned without any ducks,
but thoroughly satisfied with the sport.
1t was enjoyed also by the entire cabi-
net, for every one of the presidents adj
visers saw him as ne held gun in his
hand, and watched three ducks floating
on the water. The gun was about seven
inches long, and the ducks were of paper
mache.
The water was in an artificial lake
which had been built in the center of
Secretary doke Smiths dining-room ia
BILE, and filed not only with ducks, but
small live fish of the kind which the
president loves to catch. Besides the toy
gun there was at the presidents plate
miniature fishing rod in order that he
might enjoy himself if the ducks got
away.
Usually cabinet dinners are very for
NAL affairs, but Secretary and Mrs Hoke
Smith decided TO provide few novel
ties. They designed a sure enough lake,
ten feet long by five wide and several
inches deep. A florist built a grotto in
the center of Maryland rocks, covered it
with ferns and orchids, AM carried out
the humorous idea of the secretary ve.y
successfully.
A ten-cent tin man-of-war was anchor
ed in front of the Secretary of the Nays
plate. Penny cannons frowned over
breastworks of stones at the Secretary of
War; coils of red tape were strung along
in front of the Secretary of State, girl
with her eyes baudaged was stepping off
a dock opposite Attorney General Har-
mon. Secretary of Agriculture Nor
ton gazed at a little wooden farm
er pouring seeds down a hole in
the rocks instead of into Congress
mems districts; Postmaster General Will
son confronted a mermaid who seemed
to want to deliver letter from the deep
Little gold dollars studded an old Ken
lucky home on the cliffs which Secretary
Carlisle faced. Over all blazed a hugh
maltese cross with forty five electric
lights. emblematic of the forty five
states.
Besides the president and the secreta-
ries and their wives, the guests were
Miss Herbert, Miss Morton, Senator and
Mrs. Gordon and Representative and
Mrs. Turner.
Hoke Smiths dinner to the president
and the cabinet will be remembered after
all the others have been forgotten. The
sight of the president of the United
States aiming little toy gun at three
paper ducks will be long talked of by
those who saw it. The president en-
joyed the fun immensely, and declared
that that kind OF ducks was the only kind
it would be safe to put in front of him
with a gun near by.

ess, inquire the name of each guest as he
approaches and step forward and repeat it
in an undertone to the mistress of the
house.
From to z O'Clock is the time for re-
ceiving afternoon callers in Paris. This
enables men to be included among the
guests, as they have time to make their
calls after Office hours are over, whereas a
few years ago the reception time was SO
much earlier that business men had am
pie excuse for being unsocial.
In the case of ordinary acquaintance
the duration of a call should not extend
beyond 20 minutes. The guest who desires
to take his departure usually chooses the
moment when another person enters the
room or leaves it. In Paris courtly Gus
tom of gentlemen OF the olden time has
been revived-that of kissing the hostess
hand when it is rendered in greeting or
farewell. A man also bows individually
to each person seated in the room if there
are not more than six or seven. If the
number is greater, one general bow is sUf
ficient. The hostess accompanies ladies to
the door of the room, but does not accom-
pany gentlemen unless she has some spe-
cial communication to make.
The evening gown illustrated is of black
velvet and is cut in princess fashion. The
bodice has an extreme decolletage, the top
of the pieces forming the waist beng
rounded and embroidered with gold. The
gown is held up by two strands of pearls
carried over the shoulders. A double
standing frill of plated mousseline de
sole embroidered with gold spangles is
placed inside the deeolletage. The draped
