"who lived above Halicarnassus," a
priestess of Minerva, whose chin regular.

Charles XII of Sweden had female gren-

TWO PRETTY COZIES.

Simpler teas can be given. They are
less gorgeous than the one already men,
toned, but are often none the less at
tractive for that fact. One hostess who
is at home every Thursday has a table
that stands always ready for use. 1t oc-
cupies one corner Of her drawing room
and is just large enough to hold the
dainty cups, the kettle, the pot and the
needed paraphernalia. 1t is spread with
cloth Of fine white linen, embroidered
with an effective floral design. The
china is all of the eggshell sort, and the
spoons are genuine souvenirs, having
been collected by their owner in her vari-
GUS trips abroad. But the object that
gives the final touch and that speaks a
welcome to each and every conner is the
coy that warns with the tea and the
hearts of the guests. 1t is made of cham
OILS skin in lovely line of sage green
and has couched across it in letters Of
gold, "We1l TAX Cup O. Kindness Yet
for Aud Lang Syne." In common with
the entire equipment-it is simple.
In an apartment where lives woman
who is an artist in fact as well as name
there stands table too perfect In its way
to be omitted here, and yet it is as SIM
pie as simple can be. 1t is made Of bam-
boo, is circular in shape and consists of
two shelves or tiers. On each Of these is
laid dolly of oriental make which
covers the entire surface, and every OBJ
ject used is of some eastern make.
The cups were picked up at bargain
sales or are odd bits sold for a song be-
cause of having no others with which to
make up set. The urn is of japanese
bronze; the teapot, sugar bowl and jug
for cream are all fine specimens of Dwarf
china and were bought notNll together,
but singly when occasion offered, and the
spoons are all of japanese bronze.
Every day when the aesthetic woman is
at home tea is made at the proper, hour,
and any friend who happens in is sure
to find good cheer. The tea served is the
finest Ceylon that the market affords,
and even though there may be added
only the plainest Of crisp biscuits the
feast is fit for the gods. The perfect
setting is in itself treat, and the tea,
drawn after the method of the true lover
Of the herb, is O revelation to all who
know It in the usual state Of brew.

fair which bespeaks taste and ingenuity
rather than lavish outlay, or it may be
the most elaborate that money can buy,
but If it be so arranged as to provide the
refreshing decoction at the appointed
hour of whether it be one or the
other is matter of little moment, if of
any at all. The presence of the cups
and their paraphernalia is the only i'm
portant fact.
Whether they be more dainty or less
rare; whether the table be larger or
smaller; whether the service be after the
Russian model or the simpler English
form is all matter of taste and of OPP
portunity.
For the informal daily tea drinking
that is so much in vogue no rule can be
laid down. Hospitality takes as many
forms as there are differences in human
character, and each hostess is law unto
herself. But when cards are issued for
one especial day and the tea becomes a
more formal entertainment the table
undergoes a change. Decorations as
beautiful as the taste'of the owner die

cessories are called upon to make the
occasion conform to fashions latest re-
quirements.

self to do original things, and described
in the New York Herald, yellow was the
color and chrysanthemums were the
flowers chosen. In place Of one table
there were three, each presided over by a
young girl dressed in q costume in which
yellow was the predominant tone. The
cloths were all of the finest satin damask,
and each was embroidered in some con-
ventional design with golden yellow silk.
Tall vases of chrysanthemums were
placed upon each table and punches Of
the glorious beauties were tied with rib
bon and laid upon the cloth. They
formed clusters at every corner, while
the rich satin ribbon tied them in place
and trailed across the cloth between.
Candles of yellow wax shaded with
yellow shades threw their soft light
upon the tables and upon the lovely
girls who poured the tea, and lamps,
also shaded with yellow, lighted the en-
tire room. Chrysanthemums filed
ample vases upon the mantle shelf, and
each lady guest was presented with a
single, long stemmed blossom as a
memento of her call.
Only light refreshments were served,
as the hostess claims that tea should not
outrun its function and spoil the dinner
that is to come, but these were so ar
ranged as to embody the chosen color in
every possible way.

Hawaii and the sugar bounty.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 14.-Aside from the
political questions involved in the annexa-
ton of Hawaii. it also has commercial
aspect. The United States during last
year imported from the Hawaiian islands
&c, 100000 pounds Of sugar. which at the
present bounty rate would require the an
nual payment by the United States of s5,-
400, 900 year to the sugar producers Of
that country which, added to the IS, 000, 900
annually paid to the sugar producers of
this country. would make $40, 400, 900 as the
amount paid for sugar bounty each year
The annexers, however, are not insisting
on this. as they expect next congress to re-
peal the sugar bounty
