A Japanese Tea was the nni.pie
euh l laiunient given by a family
who have made the fashionable
trip to Japan and brought back a
choice variety of Japanese costumes
and brie a brae. The ladies of the
family, a mother and three daugh
ters, have a charming boudoir idf
the drawing room, which they have
fitted up with mementos of the trip,
supplemented by judicious selec
tions from Oi iental utores of this
country, and IheelTecl is charming
ly Japanesque. In this artistic
apartment they received their
friends in a delightfully informal
mant.er, each of the hostesses wear
ing: a veritable Japanese dress of
crepe, magnificently embroidered,
and their heads bedecked with pins
galore. Each had lur tiny table
from which she dispensed delicious
tea in rare Japanese cups, both the
cups and their contents eliciting
enthusiastic exclamations from the
recipients. The floral decorations
were in Japanese tdyle, only a sin
gle blossom or spray of a kind in a
vase; and the arlistic elfect of the
whole proved that the ladies had
made practical use of their eyes and

land of the Mikado. -From Demur
