Engagement cups and saucers have
been surrounded by the charm OF novel
>ty aud also uncertainty as TO exactly
what was intended by them. Whether
theshappy hearts, which were hereafter
"tO beat as one" were TO strengthen
"the tie that binds" by drinking from
the same cup, was an unSOlved question.
However, it has proven such graceful,
pretty fashion, that il will likely meet
with adoption. When the engagement
is announced, the friends of the young
couple send, with pleasant words OF con-
graduation written on enclosed visiting
card, they can find of the size known to
the trade as tea cups. The consequence
is a perfect shower Of Dresden, Sevres,
Coalport, 'Belleek, Royal Worcester, etc.
Such variety, so exquisite in shape
and decoration, in this age of artistic,
pretty things, they must be seen to be
appreciated. In the future, in the new
home, how they will make beautiful the
five O'clock" ind how fragrant the tea
that donors will drink from them, when
the engagement of their young friends
shall have received the browning Joy Of
marriage.
Waltzes are no longer allowed to mo-
nopolize the programme as they have

and polkas, are introduced, though not
always very successfully, because the
men decline to learn anything new. at

waltz, they think that their duty TO So
clety is done. But as the waltzeS are
taken at a quicker pace than before,

poor things! unless they avail them
selves of the rest given by change.
