nnmistakable English origin its recep-
tion by New YOrk'S smart set has been
most cordial. 1t belongs TO the same

equally well out OF doors, but is more
/ often PLAYED within doors. Feather
tipped shuttlecocks are used instead OF

miles for the exchange or sentimental
allusions as to hearts tossed about by

1t has long been mooted question
with some OF US, does a tea require u
call afterwards, or not? A society
woman with long list of engagements
ahead will promptly reply, mo, GER
tainly not. The card that you leave
az the tea is a visit OF an equivalent for
one" But 10 is better to answer the
problem with reservations, and general
rules cannot be too strongly relied up
ON. Perhaps our aforesaid friend, who
mas dismissed the case so Summarily,
has given q tea or similar enter
. tainmcnt. Then, OF course, she
owes no debt But on the other
hand when a woman is unable to enter

there is a class Of teas that apparently
claim more recognition. II is when the
hostess bids her guests by written
note i'm the first person. This implies u
special compliment, for these teas are
never SO general as those for which
visiting cards are used. Another rea-
son. too. sometimes demands call
afterwards. It is when the entertain
meat is given in the honor OF guest or
some member OF the family, who is be-
ing introduced either as debutante, or
on return from sOjOurn
in other lands, or 10 one who bears the
Droud name Of the bride" In each
Instance il is only courteous to call as
soon afterwards as possible. Various
customs naturally prevail in different
cities and what is the law for one place
does not apply TO another For Instance

are invited everywhere, aud have as well
