A CEREMONIOUS DINNER.

JEtiqnette IVrtainlng? to In v.* itions, Verbal jf and Written, and Their Acceptance. At a formal dinner—that is, one •Where there arc invited guests—various little formalities are usual among refined people, but they sure by no means each wide variations from one's daily habits that they need disturb the tranquillity of the most tir, ld. There is or ought to be a difference in form between impromptu hospitality and that "'Which is offered with forethought

When bidden to a dinner, respond at -once, whether the invitation is verbal or written- Delay in answering a written invitation renders it difficult for the .hostess to secure some one to take your place in case you are unable to accept, .and even if she does not desire an opportunity of inviting another in your stead it is embarrassing to her to be uncertain as to the number to be entertainecL There is no formality prescribed 'concerning a verbal invitation, except that the date and hour must be carefully stated and well understood. Nor is there any customary wording for the reply. Impulse and good maimers will -direct the choice of words on both sides, *«ays The Delineator, authority for the following:

Except

when an informal note is sent

«,asking an intimate friend to one's table, .a written or engraved invitation to dinner should read as follows:

Mr. and Mm John Henry Brown request the pleasure of Mr. and Mrs. Samael Smith Car•ter*s company at dinner on Monday, Jane tenth, at seven o'clock. 101 Carleton street.

This note or card should be posted a -considerable length of time in advance cf the dinner date, 10 days being the period usually allowed to intervene, although in large cities, where social en.gageinents are likely to be numerous, it Is sometimes necessary to send out the Invitations for a dinner a month or more ahead of tho date selected.

A reply t,o a written invitation must .always bo in tho same form as the invitation—that is, either friendly or formal, as tho case may be. There is no set form for answering an informal note, but tlie response to a ceromonious invita- •, tion should read:

Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Smith Carter accept with pleasure (or decline with regret) Mr. and Mrs. John Henry Brown's kind invitation to •dinner on Monday, June tenth. 15 Willow place.

February twenty-eighth. It is courteous to give a reason for -declining—as, for instance, that a previous engagement or an illness "prevents an accoptanco of Mr. and Mrs. John Henry Brown's kind invitation."

Attire for a formal dinner should bo •chosen according to tho nsages prevailing in one's own locality. Evening dress is do rigueur for men in citios and in most towns, and women wear ceremonious gowns suited to their years and -dignity.

Dinner guests should be careful to arrive at the host's residence only a few minutes before the hour mentioned, and any unavoidable delay, even though of the briefest duration, should be amply «xplainod and apologized for. If something unforeseen transpires to prevent I attendance after an invitation has been -aocepted, the circumstances must be immediately explained by note, tardiness

In aooording this courtesy to one's host "being unpardonable.

Two Recipes For Cheese Straws. Take a pint of flour and ono-half pint of grated cheese mix them and make a paste with lard tho sizo of a walnut as for pie crust. Roll out into a thick •heet, cut into strips half an inoh wide and 5inches long bako alight brown. Use more cheese if a more cheesy taste j' I* preferred. These are to be eaten with salad

Three-fourths of a cupful of butter, one-fourth of a cupful of lard, a cupful

of flour, one-fourth of a cupful of cold water. Mix as for pie crust then add 8 oupfuls of grated choose seasoned with red pepper and salt to taste. Mix, soil out thin and cut into narrow strips. Bake in a quick oven and pile on a plate, log cabin style. Very nice.

EFFECTIVE JARDINIERES

A Homemade Support That Accentuate* the Beauty of Both Jardiniere and Flowers. Jardinieres are especially effective in furnishing a room, whether they be used as receptacles for cut flowers, or for great masses of bloom in wild flowers, or as pots for the growth of choice plants. But jardinieres, to be seen at their best, should have an artistic table or other support on which to rest.

American Gardening not only suggests that the jardinieres be placed on a suitable support, but gives an illuetrated description of an artistic homemade

affair

within the reach of alL

This homemade support, which can be easily and cheaply constructed, is a low, square box completely covered on

tmm

A JARDINIERE SUPPORT.

top and sides with cloth as handsome and expensive or as handsome and inexpensive as one may desire, the imitation of .china silk giving material that costs but a trifle, and that is really very handsome. The top is covered smoothly, while around the top of tho sides is a double ruffle, with loops cut in the ruffle through which a handsome ribbon of harmonizing color is run and tied in long bows in one corner.

Below the double ruffle the material is fulled or gathered, while a plain strip of the covering material forms the bottom of each side. The cover can be fastened to the woodwork by the round headed brass tacks that can be had »t furniture and hardware storea When such a support is used, the jardiniere should be removed from it when being refilled with water or when the^ flowers are to be changed to avoid soiling or wetting the dainty cloth cover.

1 The Best of Dishwashers. Nothing, says a writer in the New York Times, makes a better dishcloth than no cloth at all, but a whisk broom. The practice of using any old rag, an old stocking cut open, which is a traditional country cloth, or any similar thing in sinks is well known to be foolish. Bits wear off and become added ologs to the drain pipes. If cloths must be had, those of coarse mesh, loosely knitted from a tightly woven cord, are the bestof the kind. A broom, however, is very much better. Select a short, stubby one, and a trial will show its superiority. To scrape the bottom of saucepans and pots there is nothing so good. The wire cloth is not so cleanly. Bits of food will get in its interstices and will not easily get out, but nothing clings long to a whisk. Hold it under the faucet for a moment after using, and it is quickly and thoroughly cleansed. Hanging over the sink my kitchen are always two or three of thesu brooms, one kept for plates and any pottery dishes, tho other for metal ware. Silver and glass are not washed there to begin with, and. in any washing need no dishcloth.

And, while on the subject, cheesecloth makes the most satisfactory of glass toweling. Get the coarse sort that costs only 5 and 8 cents a yard, cut it in yard lengths, hem all around, and once tried they mil never tie missing from your butler's pantry outfit.

Strawberry Shortcake.

Mako the dough as usual Instead of rolling out and placing on flat tins to bake, roll and then cut out with a large size biscuit or coffee cup, placing one on another and buttering between as you would tho large cakes. When done, have the berries lightly crushed and sugared, pull apart the little cakes, laying tlio lower halves on a platter, butter and cover with the strawberries, then put on the top parts. Lay some of tho finest berries on the tops of the cakes and sprinkle with sugar. Whipped cream poured over just before serving makes a handsome addition to looks and taste.

Fashion Erhoes.

White and black gowns prevail at day receptions?, those of last season being silks of narrow stripes, while the newest are checked in small squares or else of white ground finely cross barred with black.

A pretty fancy in the new checked silks is that of choosing white with mauve of the special rosy tint that is pink when in a gusli room in the afternoon and clear lilac when the weargr emerges into the open daylight

A plain full skirt, extremely full in the bade, is on most new silk gowns. If trimming is desired, it is very simple— as a gathered ruche of the doubled silk two or three inches wide when finished

A Louis Quince dress is seen occasionally, though the style is not prevalent

What axe called "dressmakers' tailor gowns** differ from those that are "strictly tailor made" in being mate elaborate.

Small round turbans of dark fancy straw or else black very simply trimmed accompany tailor gowns. There is also a fancy for ecru straw hats dither In English walking hat shape or else with alpine crowns that are indented.

Light tan covert suiting has proved the general favorite for tailor suits that are to be worn throoghoat the summer on oool days when linen and duck will not servo.

TERRE HAUTE SATURDAY EVENING MAIL, JUNE 16,1894.

TREASON JN THE AIR.

Jacobites Still "Agta" the Government, the Latter Doesn't Seem to Sttnd. rfwA sojourner in the British metropolis says in a recent letter: Treason has been in the English air this week. The Jacobite club, the members of which deny Queen Victoria's right to sit on the British throne, has been celebrating the anniversary of the escape of that crowned debauchee, Charles II, from his enemies and toasting the house of Stuart and flrmfmrirm to the usurper. A sort of conference of traitors waaj^eld at Holywell, Huntingdonshire. The delegates gathered in the parlor of an ancient inn, ate and drank heartily and cheered a number of seditious telegrams from branches unable to raise sufficient cash to send delegates. The members had hoped that the government telegraph department would have refused to accept the disloyal dispatches, and they had prepared a stinging manifesto denouncing the tyrannical usurpers, but the prosaic government calmly took their shillings Arid forwarded their telegrams with no more fuss than would have been caused by the handing in of messages respecting the price of pork. There was some bitterness, therefore, in the festive cup, but the delegates finally eased their feelings by drinking, with three times three and the subsequent ceremonial of the breaking of glasses, the health of ."Mary IV-"

It should be explained that the lady so honored is a stout, elderly Bavarian princess, who, according to the Jacobite faith, should now be wearing the British crown instead of Queen Victoria. In case the story should have reached America, it is just to say here that Mr. F. C. Bell, secretary of the Thames Valley Jacobite club, formally denies the statement that the members of the league are in the habit of sticking stamps upside down on their letters in order to show their contempt for the reigning usurper. Mr. Bell admits, however, that "there was a member of the order of the White Rose whose intellect is about on par with his wit" who matte such a suggestion at a meeting of the league. But, Mr. Bell solemnly avers, "his propositon was scouted by all right thinking men as not only ungentlemanly, but unmanly." The individual in question is understood to be the Hon. Stuart Erskine, one of the founders of the queer little Jacobite newspaper which had only a short and very checkered career. Sad to say, after quarreling with all his fellow traitors, Mr. Erskine reverted to dull respectability and is now a loyal subjeot of Queen Victoria.

A "fad for suicide.

Sioux Braves Show Their Progress In Civilization by Self Destruction. Recent events prove that the Sioux Indians are rapidly becoming civilized if the fact that many of them are following closely in the footsteps of lawless whites can be construed as an evidence of civilization. Formerly suicides among the Indians were never heard of, while during the last few years a number of Sioux have committed the crime of self destruction. In the matter of quarreling and fighting about land some of the Sioux are also becoming apt pupils of quarrelsome white farmers.

The last murder reported from the Sioux reservation was caused by a dispute over a pieoe of land. An Indian i: ::ed Eagle Louse had taken a farm under the severalty act. The land was better than the average, and many other Indians thought they wanted it. The owner was compelled in order to maintain possession to assert his rights by a show of arms. The most persistent claimant of the land was another Sioux named Thunder Hawk. To discourage the owner as much as possible and render his life a burden Thunder Hawk on several occasions cut the fences about the place and let wild stock out to scatter broadcast over the prairie. Eagle Louse had some wild colts and kept them Becurely in a corral. The day of the murder Thunder Hawk arrived on the scene once more and in a moment had cut the corral fence and let the colts loose. Eagle Louse witnessed the act, and in the fight that ensued Thunder Hawk was shot and killed. The murderer now lies in the Deadwood jail awaiting the next term of the United States court, when he will be tried for the crime.—Chamberlain (S. D.) Cor. Chicago Tribune. J'

Reasonable Doubt of Its Truth.

M. C. Albertson was recently elected mayor of Hannibal, Ma, over J. EL Dickasoa. Both men are warm personal friends, aad when the result of the election was announced the defeated candidate sent Aibertson a letter, accompanied by a cake, in which he stated that "the cake had been baked by my family for the mayor elect, and now that yon have won the race you will please accept the cake with my compliments." —St Louis Times.

Flannin* a Bl* BlrUday Btowoot. So far a sum of 18,000,000 taels, or nearly £3,000,000, has been subscribed by the Chinese officials and withdrawn from other funds for the purpose of celebrating the sixtieth birthday of the empress dowager. But even this enormous sum is not sufficient and 12,000,000 more are called for to make the celebration upon what the imperial advisers deem an appropriate scale.

THE TREATY WITH RUSSIA.

Self Respect Demands That the United States Should Abrogate It. Senator Turpie introduced a joint resolution declaring that it is no longer to the interest of the United States to continue the treaty ratified with Russia last April and that notice shall be given to the emperor that the treaty shall expire at the end of six months, the term prescribed in its text to precede nullification by either signer.

The immediate cause of the introduction of the resolution is refusal by Russia to permit American citizens of Hebrew faith to travel or sojourn in that country. We cannot tolerate this assumption by an absolute despotism of the right to discriminate among American citizens to the advantage of some and the injury of others.

There are clauses in the treaty which should have rendered it obnoxious to the senate and executive of the United States, who ought not to have approved it 'It was approved under the illusion that in the Bering sea controversy, then unsettled, ratification of the treaty would insure for us at Washington Russian friendship desirable in the adjudication of the fisheries question.

No matter what the fallacy under which its ratification was effected it was offensive to the people of the United States, who did not submit to it the more willingly because of an implied but improper and irrelevant argument or consideration for its ratification. We gained nothing at Paris by the treaty. We were not entitled to

A few days ago a dispatch was printed in the papers stating that William L. Guptill of Gouldsboro, Me., had been thrown from his carriage and killed, the details of the accident being also given. Thursday The Journal received this note written below the printed dispatch: "Mr. Editor—The r«! ove was clipped from a late paper. Yours truly, William L. Guptili" It is evident that County Commissioner Guptill is very much alive, and it is also evident that his bright wit sees the superfluity of more comment than the signature at the end of his laconic note.—Boston Journal.* a -1 The Victor Ate It.

gain

anything by it

So long, as Russia continues an absolute despotism, so long as human rights in that country are utterly at the mercy of official caprice in the highest ranks and subject to the corruption or malice of officialdom in the lower planes, it ill becomes a free people to enter into any compact benefioial to Russia and discreditable to the institutions of democracy.

Russia has treated us with open oontempt in violating the articles of the treaty guaranteeing to all American citizens equal rights within her domain. As she has herself broken an essential part of the treaty, it is demanded by self respect that the United States shall abrogate the instrument altogether and without delay.—Chicago Herald.

L«mons In Summer.

In hot weather a lemon sherbet' or water ice is refreshing and wholesome. The juice of an orange is a great addition to this ice, and the proportions may be varied. Four large, juicy lemons make quite a quantity when an orange is used. Peel the yellow rind of the lemons very thin, and from the orange also, and put to boil in a porcelain saucepan, with 1% pounds of sugar and a quart of water. Boil five minutes and set away to cool. When cold, strain into the lemon and orange juice. Strain the whole into the freezer and freeze until stiff then take out the beater and the whites of three eggs beaten to a stiff froth. Beat well togethers, cover closely or put into a mold, repack and set away to harden.—Philadelphia Record.

British Silk Indus toy.

The effort to revive the moribund British silk industry by

enlisting the

sympathy- and example of the leaders of fashion has had some amount of suooess. The queen recently bought a quantity of homemade silk fabrics, and at the state concert the Duchess of Albany wore a dress described in .the offloial court circular as of "the richest white and black velvet brooade of hoine manufacture, with trimmings of black velvet and honiton lace. "—London Correspondent

", MacMahon's Memoirs. A Paris firm is making an effort to secure the right to publish Marshal MacMahon's memoirs, but so far without success.. The marshal left the manuscript to his wife and gave a copy to each of his children, but enjoined that it should neither be published nor destroyed. Only a few persons—friends

the family—have been permitted to toad the memoirs.—Paris Journal.

A Grand Feature

Of Hood's Sarsaparilla is that while it purifies the blood and sends it coursing through the veins full of richness and health, it also imparts new life and vigor to every function of the body. Hence the expression so often heard: "Hood's Sarsaparilla made a new person of me." It overcomes that tired feeling so common now.

Hood's Pills are purely vegetable, perfectly harmless, always reliable and beneficial.

Why Few Murder Trials In Boston. •Considerable curiosity has been aroused by tho statement that theCorchidi case is tho first murder trial in Suffolk county in 10 years. It, seems that there have been many murders in the county within the period mentioned, but rather than go to the expense of a trial the government has seen fit to accept the plea of guilty of murder in the second degree and sentenced the accused on that, as it is believed that the ends of justice are as fully met in this way as in trying the man on a charge of murder in the first degree and running the risk jf failing to convict As a rule, juries do not like to bring in a verdict of guilty of murder in the first degree even if it is in keeping with the evidence.—Boston Transcript

ONE ON MOSES.

The Scenic Artist of a Chicago Theater Mixed In Spelling and History. Scenic Artist Moses of the Schiller theater painted the scenery for "The Black Hussar," now on at that house. Mr. Moses has painted the scenery for many plays and operas in his time, but it has never happened that he has been called upon to

mount

this particular op

era before. He was given the scene plot some time ago, and he went to work. A few days before the production Manager Prior ordered a scenio rehearsal, and when the scenes were set he went back on the stage to inspect them. It will be remembered by those who have heard "The Black Hussar" that in the second act, scene of the village square, the diplomatic magistrate is supposed to have arrayed upon the outer wall of his house a reversible picture showing the figures of Czar Alexander and Napoleon. This picture he works by a crank, so that when the French troops appear on the scene he can loyally display Napoleon, and when the Russians arrive he can readily shift to the czar. Well, after admiring the picture of Napoleon which Mr. Moses had made, Mr. Prior turned the crank attachment and swung the affair around. In place of a portrait of Alexander in full regimentals he was astonished to see the figure of a smooth faced, stem looking party, clad in a toga and wearing a vivid green laurel wreath. Turning back to Napoleon, Manager Prior called Moses and asked who it was. "It's Napoleon," said the artist, "and I flatter myself it's a pretty tidy likeness." "Yes, it is all right," said Prior,

Trot who is this supposed to represent?'' And he turned the crank. «. "Why, that's Caesar," replied Moses. "What is Csesar doing up there?" asked the manager. "Here he is on the scene plot," answered the artist "It reads 'Napoleon and Caesar,' doesn't it?" "No, it doesn't," said Prior. "It does say, 'Napoleon,' but that is c-z-a-r, czar, not Caesar. It means Czar Alexander."

Moses then went over to the public library, got a plate of Alexander from Fred Hi Id, painted out his laureled Caesar and filled in with the uniformed Alexander which the audiences now see.—Chicago Times.

Snakes In Ireland!

Mr. Rohn, Grand Parade, Cork, has on exhibition a snake which was killed at Mr. Lane's, Yeron Mount, lately. It attacked children playing in the fields. The children raised an alarm, and the snake was killed. It is not so large as the snake killed on the banks of the Tramore some time ago, but it is of the same species and is said to be poisonous. How these snakes came to the Douglas district is enveloped in mystery.—Cork Examiner.

A tittle Country's Big Army Gallant little Switzerland, which took energetic measures in 1870 for the enforcement of the neutrality of her territory, still continues to make a military display that is astonishing considering the smallness of her population as compared with that of each of the great states by which she is surrounded. The latest return shows a total "effective" of no fewer than 488,526 men, of whom 184,982 correspond to what in other oountries would be called the regulars. —London News.
