Questions That Affect You. Are you dressing yourself, your femily and your home in the best pessible manner and at the jeast Possibie expense? The opening of the autumn- winter season makes this question an important one. EZIN COMPARING THE STOREKEEPER TO THE GOVERNMENT QUESTIONS ARE PROMPTED THAT AFFECT YOU AND YOUR HOME. WHAT CONGRESS IS TO THIS GREAT FAMILY OF OVER 60,000,000 PEOPLB, SO IS THE STORE To YOUR INDIVIDUAL FAMILY. BUC ARE YOU NOT APT TO OVERLOOK THE FACT THAT YOU ARE ACTUALLY iNTRUSTING YOUR MONEY TO BOTH, AND SHOULD KNOW THAT IT IS USED ECONOMICALLY, HONESTLY, PROP: ERLY? ALE YOU NOT APT TO LOOK ON THE STOREKEEPER AND THB MENT AS SOMETHING YOU ARE NOT DIRECTLY INTERESTED IN? OF APT TO QUIETLY SUBMIT TO ENORMOUS INDIRECT TAXATION AND GROWL AT SMALL DIRECT TAXATION? ‘THESE QUESTIONS APPLY TO YOU AND YOUR DEAL WITH THE STOREKEEPER NOT LESS THAN WITH “THE GOVERNMENT.” Three Store Questions. Are you being benefited by the reductions in taxes that the new tariff bill inaugurates? Is merchandise brought direct toyou from the man- ufacturer? Are you paying the least possible prices for the best possible goods? - >The proprietor and the department heads of the Palais Royal direct your attention to these questions as important to you. ‘The answers are liable to be very favorable to the Palals Royal store, thus this talk preliminary to the regular daily aunouncenent. $4.44 For a $7 Dress Length. The new tariff bill says that the tax on im- ported wool dress goods is to be reduced on and after January ist. Seeing the opportunity this presented a Palais Royal representative was sent to New York to find an overloaded importer. One was found and relieved.

CHANGES AT SAKS, Designed to Facilitate the Select of Clothing by Their Patrons. Behind the great sheets of shining plate glass which form the front of the first story of the great clothing establishment of Saks & Co., 7th and Market space, is a display of more than usual Interest, as it represents a high type of window decorations and an tn- novation in window draping. The windows are fitted out with plush and form an ef- fective showirg. In preparation for the fall business, which has already set in with large volume at this establishment, a num- ber of changes have been made, which are designed to suit the convenience of the many patrons and to facilitate the work of catering to individual needs. For example, the third floor is devoted exclusively to showing suits and separate trousers, while the fourth is given up entirely to overcoats. On the second floor there is a display,which the firm believes to be the largest bo; children’s clothing department in the States, the feature of which is the com- e and Cistinct Gepartment for the dis- of children’s furnishings, a branch of ness which the firm thinks is somewhat tected by every one. The men’s clothing de,rtment contains a line of suits mucit* finer than anything ever shown before in the ready-made line, as the same class of fabrics are employed as are used by high- classed tailors. _—__— STUMPH’S NEW BUILDING. Ground Has Been Broken for the Erection of a Five-Story Stracture. In the course of the next six weeks Stumph & Bro, expect to resume business at the old place on Massachusetts avenue between 6th and 7th streets northwest. The ruins of the former building have been cleared away, and on Monday last ground was broken for the erection of a new build- ing. As the new structure is to be large and spacious, rising to the height of five stories, and of fire-proof construction throughout, it will require some time for its completion. The large business interests of this firm are so pressing that a plan has been devised by which two of the stories can be covered in and used by the firm while the erection of the balance of the building is continued. It is expected that in the course of the next six weeks they will be in possession of the first two flvors | of the new building, and will be ready to resume their business. The pluck displayed in thus so rapidly recovering from the serious disaster which befcli-their business establishment a few weeks ago character- izes the entire policy of this firm, which has resulted in building up one of the larg reattress-making establishments in locality.

WASHINGTON CLUB HOUSEWARMING Mr. and Mrs. Cleveland Expected Home Within a Fortnigh:. — OTHER SOCIAL TOPICS The White House is being arranged for the return of the President and family, about the middle of the month, or perhaps a little earlier, if the weather should be- come disagreeable at Gray Gables. Neither the President nor Mrs, Cleveland is, how- ever, in any hurry to leave their northern resort, which has grown very homelike the past summer. Baby Ruth has become 80 proficient in German that she is now able to recite eighteen poetic selections from several great masters and mistresses of nursery rhymes, which feat is regarded the more remarkabie as no one has taken any particular trouble to teach them to her. Baby Esther, who had a birthday last month, is taking her first steps and exciting a great deal of attenlion for the remark- ably short journeys she is able to accom- plish. Visitors in the neighborhood of Gray Gables this summer have brought home, as scuvenirs of their stay, littie cnima piccners that have a nice piciure of the sresiaent’s home adorning one side. These souvenirs were not presented by the aistinguisned owners of this now Tamous spot, but are for sale in the snops for waoseever will to pur- chase. Some others have even more rare and valued keepsakes trom the same place in the shape of iarge and able-bodied yel- low cats. The vicinity of Marion abounds in yellow cats, and w Carlisie, wife of the Secretary of the ry, went there visiung last week is upon whom she called, kne fondness for this kind of fireside t, saw to it that she had a yellow beauty of the feline king- dom to bring home with her. Naturally, the yellow cats which have a chance to bask in the same sunshine which Lrightens the pathway of the President of the United States are apt to be known by distinguished titles. One old lady, who had a trio of them, thought to be great swells in the feline kingdom because of their beautifully speckled yeilow 4d white coats, called one Grover Clevela’ ancther Frances Cleve- land and the third benjamin Harrison. ‘The Washington Club will be at home within a week or two in its wew quarters and on its own pr y. The house on I street near 17th, bought last spring, and which has since been in the hands of work- men, will hav> the finishing touches given it within that time, and by the loth of this month, in ail probability be quite for future u new house not only provides ce hodiows apartments for club use, but will aiso produce a reve- nue, inasmuch as the upper rooms will be rented to euch ef the members who desire to live there. This mement will come in very nicely for several of the more prom- iment and en * members who are temporarily £ » housekeeping. The first floor has two lorge parlors, into which a fioed of iignt pours from the square bay window, and which are decorated hand- somely in light colors after the colonial style. The parlors open on the new room which has been added at the rear. The three rooms thus form practically one and will give abundant space for large gather- ings. The new room has a deep alcove at the far end, provided 22 platform and well-arranged lights. A conservatory or sun parlor has been built back of this new addition also. The ° room is lighted from the roof by a large skylight of frosted glass. The house will have a kitchen down stairs with all proper facilities. The Ibrary. which will eventually be the great feature of the house, boasts already of upward of seven hundred volumes, and is constantly incrcasing by gifts from the members. Just ax soon as folss get back to town the chb, after the accepted fashion for such events, will have a housewariming. It will not be a tea this Ume, as it was in the case of the opening up of the first mod- est quai two or three years ago, but a ful-tedged evening party, to which the men will be invited. and the chances are that the océasion wil! be a much moze bril- liant event than that given in the Metro- politan Club scme years ago. ‘The always debatable questicn as to whether the fashionable women of Wash- { a club seems to be de- cided by the success of this one. When the money was needed for the purchase of the permazent home, it was subscribed at a few meetings, and the buliding committee hed smooth sailing from the start. The house is now ready to turn over to its new occu- pants. and moving in will commence very y. There does not seem to be the shadow of a doubt in the mirds of the closer friends of Mrs. Nellie Grant Sartoris that she intends to marry again, that the happy - Ky Hagerstown, adjutant general of the Mary- Jana militia, After all the coy denials of the existence of an engagement last spring, when the gentleman’s attentions were 50 pronounced, they do not seem to have lost an opportunity of being in each other's neighborhood all the past summer, Mrs, Sartoris has been heve settling her house- keeping affairs for nearly a month. ‘The house she has taken for the winter is a comfortable Lome on KR street, not over large, and yet luxurious enough to meet all her requirements, end im providing all the new things it needed has caused hor to be- come quite a familiar frure in the down- town shops. When she came here last spring her style of dressing was so English that,outside of her own agreeable pezsonali- ty, she was much erved everywhere. Now she is elesantly dressed of any of the ets shopping, and seems to take great pleasure in wearing her pretty gowns. She is by no means lonely for company o> attention, although the world of fashion and society is as yet but sparsely represented in her neighborhood, but her circle wide, and she entertain in a very dinners and supper parties. Mrs. Leland Stanford is at present in San Francisco and has been dividing her time all the past summer between her house there and her home at Palo Alto. Lately her brother, Mr. Henry Lathrop, has been so iil that iis life was endan- gered, but he has now su:ticinetly rec ered to look for dw pleasure to a trip with Mrs. Stanford across the conti- nent up to Cana’ When the great dormi- tories at the Leland Stanford, Junior, Uni- versity were built it did not seem to have entered the minds of even the mest san- guine that in the course of a few years the buildings wou inadequate for the demand.
