it will be provocative of endless fun and

little explanation for the initiated. \ lady

cup and saucer, whose size, quality, and
costliness are left 10 the taste aud generosity
O. the donor When a sufficient number has
been presented the nondescript collection Is
christcned as sentimental ,easet. The lady
is then IN duty bound to give tea-sei-party
to her contributors and friends, in which the
weed Is served in the motley china,
gathered together IN this polite way of putting
ones friends under contribution. OF course
the ladies vie with each other in seeing who
can collect the greatest number Of offerings,
and the gentlemen are warmly welcomed who
come bearing in their hands costly cups OF
Seyres, or the petite creations OF Oriental
taste. We know Of a lady in neighboring

Maine done better for the Republican
