MANNERS IN SOUTH
SOCIAL CUSTOMS THERE UNLIKE
THOSE PREVAILING IN
NEW YORK
LESS FoRMALITY EXHIBITED
Custom of Casual Introductions Is
Obsolete Among Persons Who
Know What Is Cor
rect.

Even our manners have changed said
Southern woman to the New York Sun,
"apd things that were good form only a
few years ago are now considered to be
in bad taste. Yet in the South we have
way of believing that the only guide to
etiquette Is good blood and a kind heart.
But that rule would never work in the
North, for there are so many kinds of
people mixed up together in a big city
that one has to introduce all sorts of
other qualities, such as reserve and a
trace of distance In manner, together
with distinct habit of waiting to find
out more about people before cultivating
their acquaintance.
1T is this fact that has made the Gus
tom of casual introductions an obsolete
one among persons who know what Is
correct. 1t is little difficult to accustom
ones self to the idea, but that it is q
change for the better cannot be doubted
The habit of promiscuous introductions
in restaurants, cars, elevators and shops
had grown to be an evil. 1T is provincial
nowadays to introduce people without a
request being made or permission asked
when women are in the group. OF course,
among men these matters are quite diff
ferent, but even at the club there Is less
of the old fashion of making people &C
quainted just because they happen to be

ut used to be so that If you met Mrs.
Jones at the tailor's shop and she intro

others quite as unpleasant, the matter
of introductions to every Mrs Tom, Dick
and Harry was nuisance and sometimes
something worse, especially if Mrs. Tom
Dick or Harry happened to be one of the
social pushers who are ever so much

CLEVER sWINDLE OF A PARTISAN
DRESSMAKER.

One of the boldest and most original
sw1ndling schemes ever devised by wo-
man, was carried out just before the cor
onation of the present czarina of Rus
STA by a Paris dressmaker
This modiste had neither the unlimited
credit nor the fashionable clientele which
she desired. Ordinary methods of build
ing up trade were too SOW for her, and
the result was the bold and daring plan
which she proceeded to put into execu-
ton.
Madame Barruti for this was the mo-
diste's name, first designed a gown
worthy the coronation of an empress and
set about making it. The robe was of red
velvet, with ira twenty seven feet long
and lined throughout with the finest err
mine. Fourteen hundred skins were re-
CURED for this lining and the velvet was
embroidered with genuine gold thread,
worked in the form of cornucopias. To
wear beneath this robe was a dress Of
white satin, also made en- train, and en-,
biotdered to match.
Surely such a. gown could only be de-
signed for a regal occasion, and no ex-
pense was spared, no labor shirked to
make 1t complete and perfect in every re-
spect. AS soon as the robe was we'll
under way, the runnor began to circulate
that Nine. Barruti had received a COM
mission from the royal house of Russia
for coronation robe for the czarna
Indeed, madame herself told the story
openly, and If doubt were expressed, the
gown itself was shown, which silenced
all questions. The czarina could not be
personally approached and questioned,
and besides, she was far away.
The gown itself was the answer to all
doubters, for surely such garment with
its ermines and gold embroideries, and
its train of twenty-seven yards, could
be ordered for nothing less than a royal
wearer. The gold embroidery alone cost
$1,000 francs.
Immediately madames trade began to

SUMMER WORK FOR COLLEGE
BOYS.

The number of college undergraduates
who are working during the summer
vacation is unusually large this year, &C
cording to the directors of several of the
big scientific schools of the East The
college authorities have been persistent
in advising their students to spend the
summer in some work that is in line with
their studies Young mechanical engineers
have gone into foundries; prospective. civ
IL engineers have been carrying the
transit or running steel lines; youths who
lead cotillions in the winter have been
firing locomotives on roads they may
manage some day.

Trimmed with borders of appliqued silk,

Ques, the effect is very rich.
The wearing of jewelry, particularly
bracelets, has been marked this season.
An improvement in taste in this matter
is to be observed, for the designs of even
the cheaper qualities are artistic. The
revival in popularity of pearls is large
ly due to English court mourning, these
stones being among those which are con-
sidered correct for wear by the aristo-
Gratis who are governed by royal ETH
quette. The fact that Queen Alexandra
is fond of the gems has also partly in

THE HEAT.
It isn't news to say that 1t has been
hot the past week, and especially Satur-
day and Sunday. The thermometer reg
istered on Saturday 102 and on Sunday
103 degrees in the shade. People kept
as quiet as they could seeking comfort
in the groves, in the houses and in the
cellars some even finding the most re-
lief in the bath tub.
1t was too hot almost to perspire.
The hottest days since 1885 and no
spots On the sun either. What this con-
dition of affairs will have on the, crops
is hard to tell. Some say it will not
materially effect them about here, but in
other portions cf the country there is no
question but that grain is very seriously
damaged and the crop will rot grade SO
high as it would had the weather re-
mained cool.
A wellknown commission man in Min
neapolis and man who has watched
the prospects of wheat for some time
made the statement that the loss of the
crop in any considerable portion of the
wheat country would mean that wheat
would soar to 81 per bushel before the
close of the year. Nearly all the grain
men agree in this opinion. The Kansas
crop is practically total failure; the
corn crop is far below the average, and
it remains for the Northwest to furnish
the entire country with wheat.
This is good news to the wheat grow
er, but the farmers are going to have a
large amount of straw to handle this fall
for the grain has an unusual amount of
leaves to it,
