things. according to established precc.

people In the United States who have
so little liberty to consult their own
wishes and tastes as the occupants Of
the White House. The illustrated
American thus sets forth some of the
unwrlttcn laws to which they are
strictly subject:

Court and with Senators-but as he
had no wife. the whole system was
very much simpllticd for him. The

At Il state dinner the etiquette OF the
White House Is exactly the reverse OF
the custom at private dinner. The

PRODUCE.

CHICAGO, October 7.-Considerable dis
appointment was shown by traders at the
opening in wheat to-day over the Liver
pool and Paris cables, the advances in
these markets amounting TO only about
half of the gain here yesterday. Trade
also took cogniZance of the fact that the
price here has advanced sc in the last
three days and II seemed to be the gem

reaction was due. They had the courage
of their belief. December, which closed
yesterday at 925sc opened to-day at $50
we. and under persistent hammering sold
down to 9l1ec.

FRILLS AND FLUTES.


Printed Liberty satins are as cool
as the foulards and China silks and
equally stylish, having similar de-
signs. Any Of these silks may be
made up as fancifully as personal
taste suggests.
Dainty purple-shaded peas blossoms
bloom in profusion upon the sailor of
black straw, a simple hat that may be
worn with almost any sort of gown
Peacock blue ribbon is twisted about
the crown and above it are arranged
the flowers in wreath to which are
added bunch of green palm leaves
at the left side and ribbon rosette at
the right. Under the brim at the back
are two more rosettes.
Another stylish sailor hat in white
straw has a black straw facing. At
The left side a fan of accordion-plaited
rose chiffon rises from a rosette and
back Of the Arrangement are pink and
red carnations and leaves, the grass
like foliage being laid fat upon the
brim. The floral trimming is dupli
Gated at the right side. Under the
brim at the back are more flowers in
addition to black velvet bow.
Too much cannot be said in favor of
the black Mechlin laces, which are
adaptable to almost every material in
vogue. While they are newer than
Valenciennes laces, the latter are new
ertheless extensively used because of
their daintiness.
Either Valenciennes Of Mechlin lace
insertion may be disposed on a gown
of organdy in series Of bow-knots
framed with black velvet baby ribbon.
The bow-knots may either be separated
or Joined by lace in imitation of rib
bon. The effect Of such a decoration
is at once unique and pleasing. Deep
points could also be arranged with one
Or several rows of the insertion.
Another admirable method of dis
posal is to place it between three very
narrow frills of the dress material
presumably for sheer texture-the
frills being edged with velvet or silk
baby ribbon and applied in serpentine
lines. The lowest frill could fall over
one of lace edging. Skirt and bodice
should be correspondence trimmed.
Arabasques may also be arranged
with lace insertion.
Foulard and China silks are most
satisfactory and at present they are
much sought. The ground Of one very
dressy foulard is pale green and the
printed arabesques in black and a
darker shade of green stand out as if
in relief from the tinted ground. The
same effect is produced in heliotrope,
the ground being several tones lighter
than the design.-From The Delinea-
tor.
