English Five O'cIocks.

The English way Of giving a 5 o'clock
tea is the best. They have the right OF
it in many things over there-and we are
coming to see it, If the Beers are not.
The hostess has her tea table always
ready at 5; ready three days a week You
call and remove your wrap If you desire,
or if it is oppressive. Then you chat and
the tea comes along as a matter OF course.
1t is not the objective point OF the call
by any means, but the means to an end,
the end being a social afternoon. The
hostess need not scald herself making the
tea
1t was really ludicrous last week to OBJ
serve a poor little debutante with tea
ball. she had slasped the tea leaves IN
the silver thing and had wagged it
Through the boiling water in the cup.
Then She had sugared it and drawn out
the ball. But how was she to get the
leaves out to make a fresh cup. a serv-
ant came to her rescue, but I noticed
that the little debutante was holding her
finger for some time after that.
