A Fifth avenue hostess says the New
| York Recorder, has upon her Lenten tea
table set of cups which she calls her "per-
sonally conducted" tea cups. Each one was
bought on q travelling tour, and each one
has made the trip across the Atlantic IL
| steamer trunk.
One of the cups came from Toxic. 1t is

| guests. "At other times keep them in my
round-the-world cabinet. But when things
are quiet in Lent. it is pleasant to recall my
shopping tours in distant lands, and often
