English idc.-is are followed In fashion
able Now York wctlUlngs. Instead of n
retinue of ccutlemon oqiml in number to
the bridcsmaids.tlie groom selects a "best
man , " who arranges nil the business nntl
Boclnl formalilics of tlio wedding. Invita
tions nrc now engraved upon one sheet
of paper , the separate cards of the bride
' nnd groom being seldom in tisd. The
paper is thick , line , nnd shaped so ns to
fold once. If cipher , monogram or crest
of the bride's family bo used , it should
not be printed In colors , anil the center of
the top of the page is the proper position
for it. Reception timl church cards nro
inclosed with it. Friends who wear
mojirnlng costumes should enter tlio
church early anil conceal themselves so
that their sable raiment may escape the
eyes of the bridal pair , for black is omin
ous at u wedding. The orange blossom is
no longer a requisite of the ceremony.
The bride in white is ornamented with
natural llowcrs , which may be of
liny variety. The bridesmaids , in
delicate colors , wear no train ,
nnd their costumes nro far
less grand than the bride's. They may
wear picturesque hats or bonnets witn
hliort white tulle veils , nnd they can
carry baskets or fans of llowers in colors
to suit their complexions- the fash
ioning of their dresses is limited by the
fctylcs of the period , if they are not , us
they frequently are , historic. It is not
uncommon for the Indies of the bridal
parties to copy a notable picture of their
garments and coiU'tircs. The bride often
curries a sumptuously bound prayer
book , also n bouquet or fun of lilies of
the Viilley , white carnations or other del
icate blossoms.
After tlio breakfast , or in case of a re
ception before the guests disperse , the
Lride and groom retire to their dressing-
rooms quietly , taking no leave of anyone
ono , aud prepare for their departure.
They don their truvoliiig attire , nnd only
n fo v favored or especially invited
friends remain with the bridesmaids and
ushers to throw rico and worn slippers
nfter their carriage. Tlio "best man"
lias already gone to the train or steamer
to look after their luggage , and to see
them off without vexation or care-taking.
No one asks them whither they nre Hit
ting , sucii a question being considered in
Lad taste. Tlio "best man" only is aware
of the direction in which the honeymoon
5s rising , and ho is not likely to speak of
his knowledge.
Anctit Presents.
It is no longer good form to send bridal
presents promiscuously , or to intrude
upon the sanctity of wedding anniversary
with wooded , iron , china or silver articles
for gifts. The fashion in these matters
has changed , just as the fashion of sand
ing ( lowers to houses of mourning has
ceased to exist in tlio best society. In
cases of death it is easy to set forth the
wi.shcs of the family in this regard , and
the meaningful pltrase , " .No llowers , "
npiicndcd to death notices in newspapers ,
tolls its own story ; but brides and grooms
can not well assume that they are going
to get anything : , and so lind it dilllcult to
forestall the friends who bob up at every
wedding with glass pickle Jars , eard re
ceivers and silver napkin rings and cheap
onirravings. Neither can the couple who
wish to celebrate their silver or diamond
wedding anticipate the fnonds who eomo
to the front on these occasions with gifts
that arc often meant to be funny , and
that are nearly always useless. To refuse
these tendered gifts would be to affront
the donors ; to scud word that no presents
were wanted would be to oiler people
ple an impertinence. There was
at all times trouble in avoiding
the custom , and so in order that there
maybe no misunderstanding in the future
nnd no danger of otl'cnso to" cither side ,
society now lays down the law that there
shall bo no presents at anniversaries , and
that where presents are received by a
lirido from those who have the right to
fimul them , they shall not bo exhibited
publicly , anil shall not bo accessible to
anybody until the cards contuininc : the
names of the donors have been removed.
"People of superior breeding , " says
the latest authority on etiquette , "regard
anniversary contributions to their house
hold ollects with distress , if not with
aversion , and such gifts , if not presented
by those who possess a natural rijrht to
make such testimonials , are likely to bo
returned to their donors. When this cus
tom of fiulf-respocting independence of
material favors is fully established in our
higher circh'.i , society will be pitched at
least an octave above its late keynote.
Indeed , there are not a few married people
ple who refrain from asking their friends
nnd acquaintances to participate in their
anniversary rejoicings through , fear
of bein : * considered willing to re
ceive gifts from those whom they , desire
only to bo merry with. Doubtless it is for
this reason that fashion has frowned upon
the grotesquerie of cards ot wood , tin ,
etc.which worn popular o.Uy a few years
Biiico. The prevailing style of invitation
is tini same as thcr card of any ordinary
entertainment. "

CHICAGO , Feb. 10. ( Special Telegram to
the Hr.K. | Provisions led In speculative In
terest to-day. The prlco of the product
ranged considerably higher , and trading was
on an extensive t-cato. Thousand and live
thousand barrel lots of f.ork . were passed
around with freedom nnd the lightness was
quite entertaining to witness. May pork
opened at S14.72 > { , settled back to SlI.GTtf ,
and then sailed to S14.W > < f , with n few scat
tering trades at S14.05. There were no signs
of the top heaviness nnd weakness that the
wiseacres of the pit detected In the deal a
few days nco. The touo of the market was
on& of bouyancy , and realizing on largo sales
of large lines of pork did not depress values
In the least. After potk touched 514.03 the
price settled back to S14.75 , but again soared
toS14G2 > j. There were lueieabcd offerings
otpropetty on the last advance , aud during
the last half hour the business done wns on n
scale of declining values , the last May quo
tation being at S14.70. May jribs climbed to
S7.00.J7.07K ( nud closed nt Sf.C5. One lea-
lure of the deal to-day and yesterday was the
strong buying of laid by local parties , nnd nn
advance that almost kept pace with that of
pork. The general tendency ot speculative
values of wheat was downward to-day. Out
side news was bullish In the main , but less so
than \esterciay , and the bears hail more
to say. Cables bronchi In less encouraging
ndviccs , nud UIOHI Irom London brought
selling orders. Crop advices , so far as they
wont , were favorable. The present move
ment fiotn fnrmeis' hands Is nt low ebb.
Predictions arc made that the visible simply
will show a decrease of 1,250,000 bushels , nnd
ono authority puts tlio licures at 1.500,000
bushels. First trades in May were nt frOac.
which was yesterday's closing urico. That
future ranged between bOc nnd bO ( jZiO > tfc
most of the session with n disposition to
clitic as clo c to SOc as possible. mirlnc the
last hours the mariset assumed a heaviness of
tone and the prlco settled to 7l ) fc , where it
rested. As compared with yesterday the
closing ranco shows a loss of i c. Coin was
a sliaiio easier upon the whole , though trie
market was relatively lirmer than for wheat ,
the closing bids for future deliveries being
only 3 < c below those ot yesterday. Specula
tive tuding was of very moderate volume.
There were eiders here , both ways , but they
were generally nt gcmes either a little under
or a little over "the market , " and could not
be executed. Local operators were conserva
tive , but few caring to co short over Sunday ,
and no Ini o lines chanced hand * . Oats in
the speculative branch of trade were fairly
active. Half n million or to of short oats
weie covered , aud this buying Imparted to
the maiket considerable strength , and frac
tionally Higher pi Ices. There was nothing
else In the situation to firm them up. May
opened at 2 ; c and ! -old to 2SJf(32bc ( to-
Bcther , finally closing at 2sj c.
