TEA TABLE ETIQUETTE.
auaint Customs Once Observed by
English Danes.


Tea drinking has become very fash
ionable mong MS of late years, almost
as much SO as it was in England cen
tury ago, hut the prevailing customs
at the table are different. The ''teacup
times Of hood and hoop had their own
etiquette. OF sort not likely to be re-
vived, What should we think now of n
fashionable lady who cooled her tea
with her BREATH Yet Young says of II
certain bewildering Lady Betty:
Her two red lips affected zephyrs blow
To cuul the Bohca and intlame the beau
While one white finger and thumb cunspire
To lift the cup and make the world admire.
Again a passage in contemporary lit
erature shows that il was lack Of
good manners to take much cream or
sugar in ones tea. Says a lady of quail
ity to her daughter Il must further
advise You, Harriet. not to heap such
mountains of sugar into your tea, nor
60 pour such deluge of cream in, Peo-
pie Will certainly take you for the
daughter Of dairymaid ="
Certain other customs may be re-
membered in this country among us
who had grandmothers trained in the
ceremonies of a later day. One of them
consisted in putting the spoon in the
cup TO show that no more tea was de
sired; another was that of turning over
the cup i'll the saucer for the same pur-
pose.
Etiquette also demanded that the tea
should be tasted from the spoon, and
that the hostess should then inquire,
lis your tea agreeable2" Certain scru-
puloGs old ladies ask that now, and
the question savors of more sedate
and gentle day than this. st Louis

AN EXPENSIVE EXPERIMENT
The Head Bool>lseeper Finally Bal

A south side man who is a clerk in

last night During conversation about

faithful discharge of ones duties, but
it is sometimes an expensive expert

MISS GELDERS WRITES
 OF AN OCEAN VOYAGE

Mid-Atlantic, June 1, 1SS9.-Who would dream of winter clothes, this time of the year! And still here we are seated in the sunniest spot on deck with our heaviest winter cloaks on, and as many rugs as we could lay hand on about us, feeling none so warm either.
 We settled here after considerable nov ing about, and I assure you my comfort was bought at a very high price-for the young gallant who had adjusted and re- adjusted my rugs several times declared me to be the fussiest old maid he had ever seen. But who would not be cross after being tossed about all night from one end of the cabin to the other, after having a bottle of peppermint emptying it's contents upon you and then, when, rising about 5 o'clock in sheer self-defense, and going above, you find the officer on the bridge enjoying his cup of coffee, while you have to wait three long hours for this luxury,
 But one cannot remain cross for any length of time and all this glory. I can not conceive of anyone tiring of the never resting sea, but the seamen declare it to be very monotonous, and most of them seem to long for quiet life on land.
 Rising early has it's advantages, espe- cialy board ship. During the day we have little chance to worry the officers and seamen with questions; they are entirely too busy. But early in the morning. oh what feast for the questioner. The men on this boat have made up their minds that women can ask a lot of silly ques- tions. l must apologize for the impression produced, for I feel very guilty. But I wanted to know, so it had to be done even took lesson in steering, i. e., l stood by the man that did the work The com pass and all were there. For about half an hour I gazed alternately upon the com pass and the quartermaster. He turned the wheel and it went all right. Sc said it was very. easy, SO suppose I could do it if I tried, don't you? But, then women have such few opportunities. And really, you have no idea how simple 1t is to keep the log. Why, all one has to do is to notice

One morning we did come on deck early enough to see il rise; it was a glorious sight-one never to be forgotten. Still we decided that in fu- ture we would content ourselves to let it set. We enjoyed several very fine sunsets; the majesty and beauty of such sights in- fiuence us as no sermon in the world can; we gaze speeches. and breathess upon these manifestations of the glory of the Creator, and drink in deep breaths the beauty of creation.
