vitations were fittingly worded in the addition
OF the diminutive "'Cito,' to mate, for very
little of the beverage was quite sufficient for
the uninitiated. The mate was served i'm the
peculiar cups used for the purpose in South
America, and was imbibed through the long
slender silver tubes, with perforated bulb at
one end, known as ''bombilla." The mate is
brewed from the dried leaves and stems of a
shrub called yerbd mate, that grows abundantly
in Paraguay. Fashions change in South Amer
lea, however, as in other parts OF the world
and mate and its equipage is now almost en-
tirely superseded among the upper class by the
use of Chinese and Japanese tea. Beside the
novelty of mate there was handsome collation.
