sylvan %socinbiIity and Sport with
Bows and Arrows.
One Of the favorite entertainments this
summer with the society girl is going to be
the archery tea-and sport with bow and
arrows.
This classical and aristocratic game is be-
ing revived, and with great enthusiasm,
perhaps not so much on it's own account as
a pastime, as for the picturesque oppor-
tunities it offers for a festive outdoor frolic.
For the archery tea, which is modelled
somewhat upon the lines OF a garden party,
invitations are sent out for 4 of the after
noon, and a moderate degree of promptness
is desirable upon the part of the guests,
that the games, which precede tea, may have
some show.
Indeed, the result of the sport is impor-
tant, as the lucky Diana who wins the most
golds-or, in other words. hits the bulls eye
the greatest number of times-receives a
prize.
What the prize may be is only revealed
when tea is served, and the gift Is found
repoSing beside the fair winners plate.
She also finds other gifts, second, third
and fourth prizes, and these she has the
pleasure of giving TO the other victorious
archeresses.
The prizes for the men are distributed
by the girl who earns the lowest score. and
who also comes in herself for a prize-a
