President and Mrs Roosevelt have done
much to improve the social conditions Of
the White House since their residence
there, but even the President with all his
radicalism cannot afford TO offend against
public tradition. Conditions, however, have
been so much improved that one hesitates
10 criucise. especially the laws governing
the evening receptions Formerly too lit
tie attention was given to these functions.
and one often saw at these affairs the
most extraordinary people who dressed
and behaved in the most extraordinary
way. Il was almost q case Of "Hark.
haIk, the dogs do bark; the bcggars are
coming TO town; some in rags and some
in tags. and some in velvet gowns" Be
cause It's true tbs pity; and pity It's tbs
true provincials a0t used to the ways
of cities have been seen at the Presi-
dents evening receptions in morning coats
and flaming ties, while women have ap-
peared in high-nacked. dark-colored
dresses, and sometimes even in bonnets.
In fact, the curious crowd that has often
appeared at these receptions inspired the
proposition to send with all invitations a
suggestion as to the dress. as il is done in
Europe Unhappiy, Americans are not
educated to such form. but it would be. in
the opinion Of the writer, an excellent
idea to inclose with the invitation a note
as TO what should be worn. This Is done
at all courts in Europe: If not directly.

No Cook There.

The wife OF a newIy-estabIished clergy

at the house OF ''one of the best in our
little town she found the dusky mistress

The proper address for the President is
Mr.. President" Old-fashioned people
sometimes use the phrase Your Excel
lency." but there is no warrant for it
by any act of Congress. or by usage
even. The President is not expected TO
return calls except in the case Of visiting
royalties. and there is an Wnwritten law
that he shall not visit any of the foreign
embassies or legations, because these res
licences are supposed 10 be foreign terri
tory. but this rule has been frequently
disregarded; often by President Arthur.

There are four formal evening recep-
tons given at the White House during the
season The first one is for the Diplomatic
Corps, the second for the Supreme Court.
the third for Congress. and the fourth for
the army and navy. Invitations to these
receptions are by card, and it is needless
TO say, except that so many people from
out OF town seem Uniformed on the sub
ject. THAI every one attending these re-
ceptions are intended to be-the men FL
full evening dress and the women in ball
costume. Americans are often irritated at
the criticism OF foreigners on their local
customs, but some charity must be felt
for the man or woman of the world from
abroad who meet at the Presidents recep-
ton as many different and bizarre cos
tunes as would be found at a costcrs'

MEET IN DEBATE IN
A SPEECH OF HOUR.
Aspirants For Congress In
Long Talk
DISCUSS ISSUES OF CAMPAIGN
Hon. G. @. Lewis and Hon. Dudley
M. Hughes Divide Time at Preston
in First Joint Debate Taking Place
in the Third District

Hon. E. B. Lewis and Hon. Dudley
M. Hughes met in joint debate yester
day morning at Preston and discussed
the issues of the congressional race, in
which both are aspirants for the hon
org, and the occasion was one of great
est interest for the assembIsge.
1t was the first joint debate of the
campaign in the Third district, and il
was the general opinion that each gen
tleman acquitted himself very well in
the discussion of effairs of state.
Both Mr.. Lewis and Mr.. Hughes
spoke for one hour.
Mr., Hughes opened the oratorica
contest in speech of forty minutes
length. Mr., Lewis followed N q speech
of one hour while Mr.. Hughes had the
closing, occupying twenty minutes.
And each speaker had plenty to say
within that brief period.
Court having adjourned the evening
previous, and the coming of both gen
tlemen there not having been an
noun ed very long in advance, the
audience was not a. large as il other
wise might have been. Still, several
hundred heard the spec
And there were no scars to heal VIII en-
the debate ended.
Each speaker discussed the situation
from his own standpoint, and the de-
bate was free from acrimony and per-
sonalities. Both gentlemen were &C
corded respectful hearing, and the
good citizens of Webster were glad to
have thus welcomed them there.
Mr., Hughes, it is understood, goes
to Crawford county today. Mr.. Lewis
came back to Americus and returned
to Montezuma last night.
