Tea Is delightful thing In Its original
sense or as It Is daily praci!ced In Eng
lond. and over here 70 a very much
smaller extent. II should mean really
cup OF tea and n sandwich or a bit OF
lieht cake. Tho men on their way from
business would delight 60 drop In 20 take
the edge from their appetite before din
ncr.
But tea now amounts 70 n regular
reception. with all sorts OF substantlals,
fearful and wonderful pastries &c. to
partake Of which means death to the din
ner. OF course one need take nothing.
but when one is hungry. isn't the tempta-
ton hard 10 resist? ! understand in New
York this season some OF the smartcst
tca-glvers have nothing more elaborate
than bOuillon. tea, and sandwiches.
IL one wants TO give n handsome enter
talnment let Il come IN the evening.
Tho expenditure would be- the same. the
effect of evening dresses FAR more charm
ms. and the general result far more
satisfactory.

"wednesday IS always n popular day
nmong those queer creatures known as
lovers as a day filter than all others
upon which to take the holy VOWS of
fnatrimony.
This was amply showr on last We'd
nesdav. when no Ices than three we'll
known girls were married and all three
of them married out-of-town men. II
seems Of late that most Baltimore girls
do. The men of Baltimore must pull
themselves together and look about them,
or there Will be no "beauues' left.
