Mr. Strauss: Your letter Of the 18th

strong, and grows stronger as the days
pass | should without hesitation
yield to this and decline your request
that | accept a place among those who
are TO seek the promotion of industrial
peace by friendly Intervention in
troubles between employers and en-
ployed, If were not afraid that L
should thereby disregard an important
duty. My reflections have made 1t

an earnest wish that those selected to
actively represent the purposes and
motives OF your conference may not
labor in vain Your very truly,
"GRONER CLEVELAND"

What to Eat.

Oyster lovers do rot really begin to enjoy
their favorite shellfsh until October. AL
though the months in whose names the let
ter ''r'' occurs are all counted i'll the oys-
ter season, connoiSseurs declare the BIZ
of October. Most persons cook shellfish
too much. oysters should be placed on the
fire in their own liquor and removed the
minute the flesh swells into plumpness or
the gillS along the edges shriVel up. OyS-
ter liquor should be strained to remove
small particles of shell. The following
recipes are for dainty dishes:
Scalloped oysters.-Bread the oysters,
wash them in their own liquor and steep
bread crumbs in the latter. Put the crumbs,
with the oysters, into Scallop shells with
bit of butter and seasoning Of salt pep
per and a little grated nutmeg. Make a
paste of bread crumbs and butter and cover
the oysters with this and roast them in an
oven.
Oyster fritters.-Maile a batter with milk,
flour and beaten eggs. Have some hot lard
and, dipping out tablespoonful of the bat
ter, put an oyster into il and let it down
into the boiling lard. Fry it on both sides.
Oyster Sauce.-Open a dozen oysters aud
remove the boards; put them into a small
saucepan with the liquor, adding one ounce
of butter Cover the pan and cook the con-
tents for five minutes, taking care that the
oysters do not boil Put the oysters
sieve and cut in halves or quarters; let the
liquor boil till reduced to half its original
quantity. Strain, return to the stewpan,
hot bind with the yolk of al egg, then put
in the oysters and a teaSpoonful of lemon
juice. Stir till all is hot. Season to taste
ard serve.

hats are nearly all of the soft. hairy felt
that looks something like old-fashioned
beaver.
Most Stylish Hats
Felt, beaver and velvet hats are the most
stylish. The felts are wonderful, shaggy
affairs, on which rich velvet trimmings
make striking appearance. The drapery
is generally lighter than the frames.
Bright colors are la mode in millinery
as in dress. This does not mean that glar-
ing tints will be countenanced; with all
their brilliancy there is an autumnal soft
ness about the fabrics. Felt crowns with
velvet brims are to be seen and are, l be-
lieve, considered very chic. Turbans, pla-
teaus and picture hats are composed en-
tirely of the soft, rich material. Picture
millinery is smaller than last year and is
not quite so lavishly trimmed. A single
plume is considered sufficient to make it
what it should be. Black hats are numer-
Gus in the shops.
A novelty is the black MORE silk picture
shape, but 1t is not so generally becoming
as the velvet one, for silk is more trying
to delicate features than the soft pile of
velvet. The soft beavers in picturesque
styles are becoming to most women. Thy
also have a peculiar softness, making even
sharp and haggard features appear comely.
