VIII you kindly inform me whether a full-drcss
suit with black tie is proper form; also. when
Tuxedo coat is in place and whether it ever takes
the place of a full-tress coat? Fl. &.
With full-dress suit the white tie is the
correct one. although a black is sometimes
worn at a small dinner or the theatre; but
even then it is not absolutely correct. The
black tie belongs to the Tuxedo coat, which
is not full dress, and is suitable to wear
only at home for dinner or for the theatre
in summer y Tuxedo coat is full dress
for young men only before they are IS ana
old enough to wear n regular dress suit.

for Che gentleman not to wear Il dress suit, pro-
vided he has one: THEATRE.
1t is much more of 4 compliment to the
young lady whom the gentleman has in
vited to so to the theatre if he wears his
dress suit, for he will naturally expect her
to be as well gowned as possible \ great

1t is rather mistake TO persist in invit-

in demand that he cannot find the time to
pay a dinner call. and if he constantly re-
fuses your invitations, it is decidedly bad
form to continue to invite him. No matter

HANS aRoNNERAND FAILS.
Supposed to Be Worth $25o, ,ooo, But

St. Paul. Minn.. June l1.-A special from Olivia, Minn., says: Hans Gron- nereaud. who was supposed to be worth $260.000. has failed with reported liabil- tties of $125, ,000 and seemingly no as- sets. For many years he has been the owner of the Bank of Beaver Falls, and . heavy stockholder in the Morton Bank and State Bank of Olivia, and the Renviile County Abstract Com' pany. and has been engaged in loan- ing trust funds for Wisconsin and East ern parties, as we'll as many other peo- pie. The bank of Beaver Falls has closed its doors and depositors are clamoring for their money. The wid- ows. hired girls. farm hands and farm CTS are numerous among the deposit ors.
 All the realities in the name of Gron- neraud are said to have been trans ferred some time ago to D. D. Cheney, business associate. Gronneraud left here some time ago. saying that he was going to some springs in Indiana for his health. His friends cannot understand what brought about his financial re- verses.
