Fairy tale lore has always insisted
that it takes nine tailors to make 4
man. says the Chicago Chronicle. If
the lurking innuendo against the craft
of goose and shears be passed by, and
the man be taken as one of the eleven
Beau Brummels of Chicago, there is
much of present day truth in the old
time dogma. In fact nine tailors must
labor days, nights and Sundays for a
period of three weeks to make
fashionably dressed young man. But
when the making is over the result
is a gem in humanity polish, a social
diamond of finest cutting and most SUI

HOW TO SEND FLOWERS.
# Packed Correctly They Will Re-
tain Their Natural Freshness.

One of the greatest delights of the owner
of a large country garden stocked with plenty
Of flowers is to be able occasionally to send
some to town dwelling friend. Of course,
nowadays. flowers seem everywhere attain
able, and at by no means runous prices.
Still that box sent from the country generally
brings to the recipient the pleasurable salts
faction of being remembered, which no money
can purchase, even though the flowers them
selves arrive squashed and withered. There
is no need, however, for this to be the case
they should be gathered with discretion, only
flowers just out still in bud being chosen,
and they should on no account be picked
when either wet with rain or dew, or when
still warm with the suns rays. To be sent
off in a state Of heat is even worse for them
than moisture. All superf1uous green, too,
should be removed from their stalks, as it
only crowds up precious space, and will not
be needed at the other end, as the foliage
only discolors the water in the vases and
causes the flowers to decay quicker than any
thing else. The stem of each flower should
be enveloped in little cotton wool that has
been previously wetted (the cheapest
bleached kind is all that is necessary, and
then they should be packed in their re-
ceptacle with sufficient frmness to prevent
them being shaken, and after layer of dry
cotton wool has been laid across them an
other slightly dampened should be added.
People who in the habit of sending away
many flowers are often in difficulties for
boxes to hold them, but in most country
towns the chief grocer and draper, particular
iy the latter, usually nave numerous caTu-
board boxes lying useless, which they are
ready to give to regular customers. Corset
and shoe boxes are excellent for the purpose,
and will hold quite enough flowers to make
large room deliciously fragrant and these
can DE sent for very modest sum. To gather
and Pack flowers takes time, though to a true
flower lover an hour spent in ones garden,
picking blossom here and there, is great
delight
Some flowers are naturally better travellers
than others. Sweet peas, primroses, forget
me-nots peoples or anything of the honey
suckle or azalea nature are all doubtful, even
when every precaution has been taken, and
pelargonums and geraniums. except double
varieties are useless for sending by post. but
carnations, roses Gin bud). pinks wa flowers,
stocks or mignonette all travel splendidly,
especially carnations which have a wonder
full power of doing without water and can
we'll be worn for a whole day without droop-
ing.
The flowers should of course, be unpacked
Immediately ard when all the cotton wool
has been removed their stems should be
slightly shipped and each flower paced in a
basin of hot not warm, water for few
minutes where one can actually watch it re-
wing instantaneously They may afterward
be arranged in their vases Of clear. cold
water. and it will certainly be difficult to de-
tect them from flowers brought straight in
from the garden.

smiles the burdens of his position.
The typical Mr.. Fashionable is reused
by his valet at 8 o'clock, though if he
have the cares of horse show upon
his shoulders he may order himself
summoned half an hour earlier. If his
model of propriety is laid on English
lines-to the extent that he has adopted
pyjamas and incorporated them, ten
suits in his Wardrobe-he goes clothed
still in pyjamas to his solitary break
fast table. At the conclusion of the
meal, which. to be correct, should be
French in it's meagerness. he goes for
the first of many times into the hands
of his valet. Though his wardrobe
may include forty suits. as does that

is indeed a mighty man who can ar
ray himself during the limited hours
of the day in more than six of them.
In case the hero is of athletic bent
the first transition will likely be BIZ
cycle suit, or possibly, if the hour is
made somewhat earlier, to q riding
suit. The hour of exercise gone, and
the services of the valet brought once
more into requisition, the social slave
becomes a correct style pattern by the
donning of one of ten of twenty sack
business suits. The weather should by
law of harmonies have much to do
with the combinations of colors chosen
for this sally into thei streets. If the
day is dark and gloomy the suit is
taken from those of most subdued
checks and shades, soft WOODEN gar
ments in which one color fades into an
other with imperceptible graduation.

derby hat-none other is proper for
suit and time-draw- On tan colered
street gloves and walk brisllly down
the steps to the pavement John A.
Logan wears the business suit he first
puts on throughout the whole of his
Office day. In these fall days, except
for afternoons of golf, the others of the
decemyirate do the same. Busy sea
sons do not last, however, all through
the year and leisurely wealth is, after
all, supposed to know nothing of care.

the morning, approximately at IL
o'clock The code dictates that the
second sack suit should be a little be
yond the first in cheerfulness. A sack
suit, be it seriously known, consists
by definition of a coat and trousers
identical in material. With the first
suit worn during the day the limita-
ton applies also to the waistcoat, but
with the second the wearer is free to
add any one of the ten or twenty odd
waistcoats he possesses. A man is sup
posed to have as many figured waist
coats as he has suits, though it is
not obligatory upon him to wear any
particular one of the number with
stated suit.

If the crush hat is admissible at all
it is added to the cutaWay accOuter-
ment The crush hat is, in fact, in bad
way just now in its connection with
the ultrafashionable. 1t will return
next summer in all the conquering
glory of whiteness, but now, whatever
it's color, it is nearly tabooed.
There are three stages by which the
full dress is approached. The quarter
way point is the cutaway, with it's tinge
between informality and formality.
Two cutaway suits are a necessity;
four are more proper. The frock suit
figures are the same. The cutaWay is
used to sound the knell of the business
day, provided the day has had any
incidental connection with business. 1t
may be worn at the Office or on the
street The halfway point to full dress
is the frock coat and trousers of diver
gent shade. This the social warrior
dons when at o'clock he finds that
he must answer in person an invitation
to an afternoon tea, 4 o'clock wedding
or to some other assemblage where dis
sipation will be mild and dress exact.
Except in summer the leap from half
to full dress is at one bound. The
Tuxedo, three quarter landing in loaf
ing summer weather, is not admissible
anywhere after the frost has come.
After the weary man has recovered
from the WEAKNESS resultant from the
metamorphoses of the day and has din
ed he lets himself be garbed in the
eliminating splendors of the full dress.

The only tinge of sadness that comes
to any one of them is given from the
fact that the new dress dictator is not
a Chicago product, but a parsonage
from another and a rival city. Had
young Potter Palmer returned from the
shades of Harvard and the gayeties of
Newport to grace the exclusive circles
of his home city with thirty or even
forty suits there would be complete
peace. There would not be a ripple Of
disquietude had Marshall Field Jr
quit the soothing chimes of Europe
and journeyed home to dazzle his for
mer fellows, the Western outlanders
with clothing combinations gorgeous
of color, make and kind and eXtraya-
gantly multiplied in numbers. These
two scions of blue-blooded Chicago
houses show no intentions, however, OF
becoming idols for the worship of the
natives of the Lake Michigan shore.
So, perforce, the kingly rites must for
a while be paid to the well groomed son
of Gen. John A. Logan.

when the word is applied in the society
descriptive sense. The adding of the
reverent sentiment that 1t takes money
on a millionaire basis of expenditure
is in itself useless for the same phrase
remains still truth when dressing in
a moderate society sense is under
discussion. For instance, if a man can
afford to wear sixteen suits he can
afford equally we'll to wear twenty
eight. In case a man can afford neither
the one number or the other it is
scarcely likely that he can afford three
much less five. A society man is most
apt to rise in wrath and VOW to dress
plainly all the rest of his days when
the strain upon his nerves has lasted
long enough and WaXed great in con-
sequence of the minuteneSS of the
etiquette of shift, and shift again. The

a New Scheme Regarding Short

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-THE annual
report of w. S., Shaltenberger, second
assistant postmaster general, made
public tonight, gives an interesting re-
view of the principal developments in
the entire postal transportation service
Of the United States and connecting
foreign mails. 1t shows an aggregate
of appropriations for this large part
of the postal service for the current
year of $51,O41, 23S, the probable de-
ficiency is 100000, making the esti-
mated expenditures this year $51, 541 ,238.
This will be s1,623, 045, or 3A per cent,
more than for the fiscal year just clos
ed. The estimate for the fiscal year
1899 is $53, 1897 ,260, which is $1,796,021
more than the estimated expenditure
for the current year. The annual rate
of expenditure for the inland mail
service in the year just closed was
$49, 1862, 074, and for foreign mail service
$1,791,170, after deducting $25S, 029 for
Intermediary service to foreign coun-
tries.

says: There seems to be no good rea-
son why the great bulk of legitimate
newspapers carried by the government
at great loss to remote places should
be permitted to be taken away from
the mails by railroad and express COM
panieS whenever there is a short haul
that would make the carriage of them
profitable to the government. The car
riage of newspapers, packages, etc, by
railroads and express companies may
have been justified, perhaps, years ago,
when the railway mail service was less
efficient, but with our present facilities
such as may easily be obtained, 1 am
convinced that the department can
and should carry the great
bulk of newspaper matter that
has been for years withheld
from the mails and sent in baggage
cars and special express trains.

THE DELICIOUS CANTALOUPE.
Native of Sunny Spain, Yet Its Jer-
sey Descendants Are Rare and

In the light, sandy soil on the sunny side
of the walls of the famous Castle of Canta-
lupo. in the Marca d'Ancona, which reclines
on the eastern slope of the Apennines, the
cantaloupe, cantaloup, or canteleup. or
canteloupe-there four ways of spelling
it-first ripened it's ellipsoidal body and pale
green and yellow nutmegged ribs, and with its
delicate flavor tickled the palate of man:
When Trajan built his great mole and erected
his magnificent arch at Ancona he lunched off
cantaloupe and the little melon grew In
popularity until 1t eaten all over Italy l
have bought twenty dozen this year of the
American brand, and out Of the entire. 240
only eight were fit to eat. AS the price was
ten cents apiece and 232 were thrown away
the eight must have cost me So each.
There is a tradition that cantaloupes were
first cultivated by the monks and friars of
olden times and that the world never would
have known the fruit had it not been for
poor wayfarer, who, having been fed by the
Carmelites on melons, saved the seed and gave
them to a gardener. Let us accept the story.
1t is pretty. But the Jersey cantaloupe is far
ahead of anything ever grown by monks. BY
careful cultivation it has reached the perfec-
ton of development and its sweetness is that
of honey in the comb. AS many as 400 bush
els to the acre have been grown. For break
fast they are dream, for dinner poem.
