because 1t ismuch easier TO have the butler
bring fresh ones and more desirable, for
then more room Is given for the plates and
glasses. AS to glassee, nowadays there ia
one for white wine, one for sherry, one
low-bowled one for champagne, and \
tumbler with alump Of ice in it and out of
which may be taken Apollinaris, plain
soda, or claret. The claret, however,
is seldom chosen, inssmuch as during
dinner champagne is made the rim ordin-
ARE. Just before the fruits are served the
glasses are all removed and Burgundy
glass is placed, while you are ssked as to
which you will have, Madeira or claret;
this cIAret, by-the-bye, being always some
especially fine brand. Salt-cellars, the
odder the better, are placed at different
corners Of the table, and the spoons are
beside them with which to help ones self;
the socalled individual salt-cellars having
been relegated to the kitchen. Small cut
glass dishes may have in them candied
fruits or nuts, while quaint small silver
baskets hold fancy fruits or bonbons; as
these are on the table during dinner, their
decorative value is easily understood.
SOME DAINTY TABLE SERVICE.
When the ices are served, a particularly
handsome plate is put before them and
quickly folio we'd by another of crystal, on
which rests the seIyiette and above it the
fiDger-bowl; as the finger-bowl and plate
match, one would not make great mis-
take in supposipg that it Was simply apor-
ton Of that service; but il is in reality O
nice plata fashion, by-the-bye, that is
quite the vogue in London, though it has
only been noted in one or two houses in
New York. Just before the ccfles woman
kind leaves the table, and if she is
visiting in very smart house she
drinks Der Mocha from a cup that
looks like an eggshell, and through which
abe can see in golden letters the first name
Of her hostess; it is repeated on the saucer,
as il to accehtuate the charm. This dainty
device was fancy of Lady de Grey, and
'Gladys" ornaments her coffee cups; now,
when one is woman and dimes with
Mrs. Lsngtry, with the last mOuthful OF
the exhilarsting liquid, one gees "Lillie"
locking at one in golden letters. The
liqueurs are served in tiny blue glasses
that fit into asilver holder with handle
exactly as the sods-water glasses, except
that one is giant, the other apigmy.
ILLUMINATION From CANDLES.
To return to candles, which we sll seem
to have done. Like those famous La
dies ofSt. James," who, it was announced,
would
"Sit all night at Ombre
With candles made OF wax"
We have cur preference IS to color. Mrs.
William Astor's magnificent silver service
is made to look brighter by the use of tall
pink tapers. Mrs. Whitney, whose ball
room was brought direct from Norman
chateau, chooses to light it by fifteen
hundred gold candles. Mrs Winthrop's
ballroom is frightened in the same way,
but for it she chooses plain white candles
That the light of the candle is becoming
cannot be denied, but that they will drip,
even in the best regulated families, is also
q fact. From the drip Of wax candles, as
well az from tiresome men, dear chaperone,
deliver u.s." is the prayer Of the rosebud OF
to-day. BAB.
