The STYLE in Tea.

There are some conservatives who stlil
take sugar and even cream in their tea, but
these heresies are fast giving way to the new
err STYLES. The real connoisseur takes his
tea without any notifications, and fashion,
although it allows a lump of sugar rather or
dams a slice of lemon or a spoonful OF pre-
serves, according to Russian STYLE. Abont
half the people who sip tea these afternoons
do it because it is the fashion, and not be
cause they care for the drink itself. Last
season the cheese straws were prominent on
every tea table, and the indigestible little
strips of pie-crust. filled with grated cheese
and sprinkled with red pepper, were suppos-
ed to be just the thing to spur up Jaded APP
petite. This year the sailed almond is the
favorte dish of the afternoon bibblers, and
coniectioners are doing a great business in
roasting almonds and then turning them over
in pan it'll a little butter and great deal
of salt. A man who knows tells me that
there is nothing like the almond anyhow to
clear the brain and steady the tongue when
there have been to many wines at a dinner,
and the sailed almond is even more of re-
storative than the fresh nut Washington

costumes.
Jacket corsages in every imaginable
shape are in vogue.
Silk bags for shopping purposes are 60

English tweed is being largely used for
travelling dresses.
Gold turtles are the latest golden fancy
for hat and bonnet ornamentation.
There is less gold and gilt used on sum-

The high collars OF the newest jackets
and frocks are stiffened with wiggan.
Zouave jackets of jet are worn over
waists of house dresses in black silk, satin
or surah.
Long sashes are worn with all sorts of
dresses, and looped ad libitum, according
to fancy.
The struggle between French and En-
glish styles OF dress goes on quietly. but
surely for all that.
The most stylish collars and cuffs are
cut with square ends. Plain colored ones
are worn with house dresses.
A little jeweled dagger pinning the cor
sage bouquet to the dress front is the lat
est caprice in fancy jewe'ry.
Silk hose. in pale creams, blues. pinks,
and in black, are to be worn with slippers
and low cut shoes this season.
The newest breakfast caps for elderly
ladies are made of heliotrope tulle, with a
bow of satin ribbon of the same shade on
the top.
There is too much variety in the forms
of dress at present. Confusion and bad
taste are the most frequent results OF the
effort to be independent.
Pnkish fawn is lovely and popular

darker fawn or tan braid.
Hairdressing is becoming mere elabo-

gold, which have so long been popular.
Hats and bonnets are made of Persian

those used by Oriental ladies'.
The finest parasols are the black or

real Spanish lace, with ivory or ebony
handles and hammered gold or silver
tops.
White toilets will be the rage for dressy
