TEA DRINKING DENOUNCED.
The Fashion.


The afternoon tea of to-day bears little
resem blance to the afternoon tea of some
ten years ago. 1t has now become a dis
tinct meal-then it was little more than
refreshment INDUCED in under protest.
Men considered it woman's weakness, an
excuse for afternoon meetings and after
noon gossip, and few men followed this
feminine fashion, they regarded it as a
mere indulgence unworthy of the sterner
sex. To-day afternoon tea is looked upon
in the light of necessity. Tea drinking,
however, is coming under the severe lash
of the medical profession, and DR.. ]. E..
Cooney OF London, in a recent article in
one of our monthlies, says that tea wor-
ship, carried on by its fair devotees in the
prettiest of drawing rooms, in the smart
est of teagowns, with the daintiest of sill
yer and china, may, to large extent, dis
arm them as to the real nature of this in
sidious but implacable fiend. He further
says the evil effects of the tannin in tea are
readily seen by its ravages on the Threats
and stomachs of tea tasters. 1t is well
known that dyspepsia is often caused and
increased by tea drinking; it is harmful In
two ways. Neither should it be taken by
those suffering from varieties of heart af-
lection, or by those having feeble circu-
lation. Mental depression and extremes
of melancholia DR.. Cooney also attributes
to tea drinking and even suicidal mono

CARR-BEEL CONCERT.


Some Chamber Music That Was Excel
lently Performed.
The usual high standard of excellence
maintained at the Carr Beel popular con-
certs was upheld yesterday afternoon at
the concert in Golden Gate Hall. AS
usual, the works performed were listened
to with rapt attention by an audience
which, in spite of the sultriness of the
afternoon, was large.
The concerted works consisted of quar-
tet for strings by Benjamin GODDARD and
the Beethoven quartet for piano and
strings in E fiat. The GODDARD quartet,
which was played for the first time in San
Francisco, was melodious and the treat
ment of the themes was thoroughly mod
erI. The andante movement, with it's
cantabile melody, sung by the first violin,
accompanied pizzicato by the other in
struments, was particularly interes sting.
The short vivace was also full of character.
John Josephs, who acquitted himself so
we'll at the last concert, was again the sec
ond violinist.
Sigmund Beel, Rernat laulus and Louis
Heine made up the quartet, which played
in the usual finished and artistic manner.
In the Beethoven quartet Mrs. Carr, the
pianist phrased the Bonn masters music
delightfully."-, and Messrs. Beel, Jaulus and
Heine ably aided in making the interpre-
tation a worthy one.
Sigmund Beel Won the ovation of the
afternoon by his playing of Wieniawski's
Airs Russes." His rendering of the airs
and their intricate variations were virile
and full of the required "brio," and his
softest passages were dainty in their deli
cacy. Although recalled again and again,
Mr.. Beel firmly resisted an encore.
Four songs in succession were sung by
Miss Eta BayIly Blanchard. Godard's
dious as most of that lamented composers
songs are, and the dance Song" by Han
del was also full of rhythm. Schumann's
"a Red, Red Rose" was not quite within
Miss Blanchard's province. Too much
praise can scarcely be given to this lady
for the legitimate production of her voice,
which is a contralto. She entirely avoids
tricky and artificial effects and produces
all her notes homogeneously, but, heard
in four songs, her lack of colorature and
OF variety in Interpretation becomes little
apparent.

Young Ladies' Journal.
Lady travellers and explorers are so nu-
merous nowadays that it is scarcely out of
the common to have surveyed mankind
from China to Peru; still there are some
women who have accomplished more than
that, who have journeyed over tracks I'M
made, visited tribes and peoples but little
known, and even settled down among
them, and learned from practical expe-
rience the routine of their strange lives
Sometimes the object of their peregrina-
tons is a religious one, at others it verges
upon the scientific, the artistic or the phil
anthropic. Mrs. G. f. Allison has been

hand the har is worn lower and lower in
front almost, if not completely covering
the ears. Waved bandeaux or bouffants
are more fashionable than ever. They are
certainly becoming, undulations having
softening effect on the face, and this is the
reason they remain in such favor, though
undoubtedly extremely deteriorating to
the hair. And yet waved hair is now
universal; those who have the gilt of CIV
ing the graceful outline to the hair are
making rapid fortune; quite large fees
are paid in Paris for having the hair waved.

Many women are complaining of trouble
with their eyes nowadays, and the oculists
smile, for half the trouble is traceable to
the rage for dotted wells, and yet, in spite
demic, and the most fashionable have
close and heavy dots. A bright writer
lately remarked concerning them: "No
man or woman can sit and gaze at
woman whose face is wrapped in such
mask without inferring that the wearer is
either densely ignorant concerning the
damage to her eyes. or that her vanity ex-
ceeds her good sense"
