day Teas.

err cities to give Sunday afternoon teas.
We all know there is a certain ouietude
pervading the Sabbath which none wish to
ignore, yet after church there is nothing
70 DO but drive, which is not good taste, or
punish ourselves by utter seclusion. 1t is
not beyond the province ot decorous con-
duct to keep open house for ones gentle
men friends on this day, SO why not inau-
gurate the pretty custom of being hospit-
able at this time. Men are usually busy all
week, and seek on Sundays to go to the
home Of the very most congenial friend, SO
why not give them an added pleasure, by
suggestion of home life, in serving them
light lunch, a fragrant cup of tea, and
you've no idea what blessing in disguise
you bestow upon your bachelor friends,
who know not the sweets of domesticity.
This gracious treatment will always result
In subtle and indefinable infu-
ence and you will find that you
are instilling the fundamental prin-
ciples of the love of home, in some man,
who some day will make q better husband
Tor some dear girl by this initiative educa-
ton. Try it girls. Temperance doctrines
are good, but nothing like practical demon
stratlon of mild beverages dispensed by
the fair hands of sweet, winsome girl in
dainty egg shell cups, TO accomplish that
influence which one must possess to achieve
desired results.
