THE lord steward is commanded by the
king and queen to invite Mrs. Vanderbilt to
dinner Thursday, the 18th, a 8 o'clock.
Full dress"
The guests assemble in the drawing ROOM
and there arrange themselves in crescent
TO await their majesties' entrance, which
is made without announcement With the
ladies only is there handshaking ceremony
Guests invited to a private dinner find their
royal hosts in the drawing room to receive
them. The guest of honor sits on the
kings right hand and the royal family on
the left
The precedence at state dinners Is as fol-
lows: Foreign ambassadors take prece-
dence of English mobiles; archbshops rank
with dukes; bishops with earls; foreign
counts and barons take no precedence but
rank with English barons or great landed
proprietors; and in entitled precedence an
earls grandson near relatives of the
aristoeracy precede the esquires or country
gentlemen; next come wives Of country
gentlemen of no profession: then barristers
and their wives, naval officers and their
wives. military men and their wives

On state occasions there Is a splendid dis
play of silver and gold, crystal and fine
porcelain being more in evidence at private
dinners. The dishes which the funkies
carry about must be deftly balanced on
three fingers. One dinner set Of pure gold
will dine 1SO guests; in another set there
are 400 silver plates. The sdeboard is dec

captured from the Spanish armada; on the

A Snug Fit.

An English tourist in the Highlands tells
the following amusing story: He was trav-

four farmers entered the train They were
all big, burly men and completely filled I'D
the seat on the one side of the compart-

door opened to admit tall, cadaverous in

between two of the farmers, and finding #
difficult operation. he said to one of them:

Jules Legras. a French traveller, who has
made trip through Manchuria on the rail-

the rapid Russianization Of the province.
At a banquet at Khaitor to celebrate the
progress of civilization the Russians and
Italians engaged in the railroad building
said the usual things about civilization and
the inferior races, when Buddha Rabdano-
witch Rabdanov, a Bouriote, by race, gave
the eulogium this ironic turn: ''Civiliza'

Running Down Prices.
From the Scotsman.

Some days ago a very interesting topic of
debate was started at the Diet of German
Women, then sitting at Eisenbach. The
mover Of the subject discussed the common
practice with ladies Of running down as
much as possible the prices of the articles
they purchase, Was this she asked
'ethically defensible? Women rush from
shop to shop in order to purchase their
goods few farthlngs cheaper and often
under cost price and in doing SO they are
quite ignorant OF the fact that wages have
to be thereby diminished and the number
OF hours of labor heightened" In connec-
ton with this subject the speaker also said
cause to many small traders by unpunctu-
atty In the payment Of small accounts.

Make Most of Gifts.
From the Independent.

Personality has done wonders with both
heredity and environment. It has made
moderate gifts accomplish marvellous
things. Men with moderate gifts, by pa
tent and persistent application, have put
to shame the splendidly equipped, who have
indolentiy frittered away their patrimony.
Out Of the most untoward surroundings
nen have found their way to the grandest
achievements. The boy from the log cabin
mas outstripped the boy from the palace
The barefooted boy has outstripped the boy
of pampered indulgence. The plodder has
outstripped the genius. The tortoise has
passed the hare. Whether man be richly
endowed or moderately endowed his sue
cess will depend on the use he makes Of
what God has given him.
