There Is a special vogue for garnets, and jet of all sorts is worn. Moleskin is one of the furs allowed to very little girls. It is used for banding the edges of tiny coats of velours, velvet and cloth. For collars, too, though there are many mothers who consider a fur wrapped coat a peal menace to childhood sturdiness. Faces with n shiny silk surface are shown. Of course Spanish lace has this surface, and perhaps its popu larity has increased the demand for other laces of this character. It is not becoming to everybody, however, and for such persons there are lovely wide laces of a more filmy nature, quite suitable for evening frocks. Cross-stitching, perhaps given im petus by the vogue for Russian em broidery a year ago, is used in many ways for decoration. Tiny cross stitches are used on colored linen— very, very small cross stitches. And all sorts of embroidery are done in this manner on cotton frocks for chil dren, aand on little household aprons. It is also used for such things as card table covers and napkins. Bottle Caps. Place a sninll paper bug over the top of the milk bottle after removing the cap. This will keep out the dust and at the same time allow the air to get in. Personals Mr. T. G. Beebe has returned from Chicago. Mies Florence Liver has returned from a month’s visit in Chicago.

There is something about the teas of today that remind one of the old rhyme of little A, big A, bouncing B. Reception, rout and soiree all to have given away before the tea, great teas and small tens, high teas and home teas—afternoon teas all—ac cording to the latest b<y>k on what .s oorrect In such social efforts— "Etiquette, the Blue Book of Social Usage," by Mrs. Emily Post. This social reetrix begins her chap ter headed "Teas and Other After noon Parties." as follows: “Except at a wedding, the function strictly understod by the word ‘reception' w'ent out of fashion, in New York at least, during the reign of Queen Vic toria. and its survivor Is a public or semipuhllc affair presided over by a committee, and is a serious, rather than a merely social event.” So It is, so It Is, but had you thought about It in just that way? According to Mrs. Post, the recep tion people are pompous, formal, learned, dressed up—art critiques talking about technique, Taoists, ex plorers, excavators. She does not say so. but of course such people do not know foot! and seimof get it—real food. "Yet the difference between a reception and a tea is one of atmos phere only. A tea, even though it be formal, is nevertheless friendly and inviting." Certainly the holiday tons which are so numerous, should be all that. Afternoon Tea Willi Dancing. Of course Mrs. Post tells what Is icorrect In food for all social affairs, and under Jeas she gives first "The afternoon tea with dancing,” which is something less than a hall, but W'itli lights, curtains drawn, and refresh ments served in much the same way. She says: ‘‘At u formal tea. the tea table is exactly like that at a wedding re ception in that it is a large table set as a buffet and Is always In charge of the caterer's men or the hostess' own butler or waitress and assistants. It is never presided over by a deputy hostess." The menu Is limited, and she says: "Only tea, bouillon, choco late. bread, and cakes are served. There may he all sorts of sandwiches, hot biscuits, crumpets, muffins, sliced cake, and little cakes in every variety that a cook or caterer can devise— whatever can come under the head of bread and cake is admissible: but nothing else, or it becomes a recep tion and not a tea. At the end of the table or on a separate table near by there are bowls or pitchers of orange ade or lemonade or punch fob the dancers, exactly as at n ball. Ouests go to the table and help themselves to their own selection of bread and cakes. The chocolate, already poured into cups with whipped cream on top, Is passed on a tray by a servant Tea also poured into cups, not mixed but accompanied by a Entail pitcher of cream, bowl of sugar, and dish of lemon, is also passed on a tray. Ouest finds table for comfort if she can." Afternoon Teas Without Dancing. Afternoon teas without dancing are something else again, and are "given in honor of celebrities or new neigh bors or engaged couples, or to warm a new house; or, most often, for a house guest front another city." There is artificnl light in winter, but never ‘pour,* or tea and chocolate arc paasert on trays. A guest may walk up to and talk to tlie deputy hostess and ask for what she wants. There aro little enkes and sandwiches and a great deal of sociability, supposedly informal—but you know how It Is as Is the stlledly Informal invitation “Do come in for a cup of tea." And now “the every day afternoon tea table," with this statement: "In proper serving, tiot only of to, but ol cold drinks of all sorts, even whera a quantity of bottles, pitchers and glasses need space, everything should bo brought on a tray and not trundled In on a tea wagon!" And so the tea wagon, convenient for hauling laundry to and fro, fot wheeling dinners In and soiled china out of the dining room. hHS lost It* prestige, if it, ever had anything be sides its convenience to recommend it! Everything except the food ii brought In on a tray, the little plate* piled up with layers of napkins, etc., the boiling kettle, the spirit lamp the slop bowl. The fond may be on the tea table, on which this tray if set. or on the shelves of the “curate.' Mrs. Post clings to this rather face tlous name for a charming piece ol furniture, although many a possessor of this portable piece have never ceased to give It the old and more digniflce n/id suggestive name "inuif.r stand." It Is no such general purpose piece of furniture as the tea wagon is, but It does give a man at a tes something to do—passing It. In th» hands of a pretty maid It seems right also, for she may instantly put it down and attend to something else, ai she cannot a tray. Hadassah Linen Shower.
