ing the afternoon tea table has ac>
quired many new and strange deli
cacies. a hostess who wishes to sat-
isfy the tastes of all her callers has
on her perambulating table not the or
binary cut loaf sugar alone for sweet
ening, but a pair of pretty crystal and
silver bottles from the mouths of
which shake out one at time small
half grain tabloids of saccharine or
saxin, as the tea drinkers prefer. The
bottles bear in engraved letters on
their tops the names of their contents,
and over against them usually stand
a row of three small silver tea cad
dies or a square repoussed silver box
that is divided within into three COM
partments. The caddies or the box con-
tain three different kinds of tea; pure
Ceylon, Chinese and japanese tea, and
as you whisk in out of the cold to join
the circle about this we'll appointed
board you are asked If you will have
an Infusion of Cingalese, Royal Pc
kin or Empress of Japan.
When the selected infusion is accept
ed the servant on duty or some obl!g
ing and useful masculine caller passes
the most dainty wicker trays that have
for the season taken the place of the
ordinary porcelain cake and biscuit
platters. One tray holds gluten and
bran biscuits for the visitor who is on
a diet, another bears piles of the new
finger sandwiches that are made of
thinnest slips of brown bread with
mayonnaise and holding between their
mayonnaise covered sides a slice of ap
pie that is no thicker than plotting
paper The third basket has d cover
which, when lifted, reveals tiny fresh
baked biscuits that are split, buttered
and kept hot in a linen cosey.
Dinner tables are more lavishly dec
GRATED than ever this season with an
abundance of color and pretty trifles.
Everybody uses name cards that are
found by the diner ornamenting his or
her mineral water tumbler. These
cards so-called are name flowers. big.
long stemmed painted or lthogr aphed
peoples, roses, chrysanthemums. irises,
etc. The names are written by the
hostess across one petal of the flower
that has its stem thrust into the tum-
blers edge. Often enough miniature
nosegays done in Autograph work take
the place of the single flowers and
these two are popped in the mineral
water tumbler They are quite COM
plete with stems that go inside the
about the brim. in the midst of which
the punches. of violets, clovers, sweet
peas or forget-me-nots sit up in most
realistic fashion.
Besides the highly decorative name
flowers, menu lists have come back
into fashion. The most modish meth
cd is to give the itemized account OF
the delicacles on pretty little folding
fans that are spread open at every
cover. These fans are OF white or
cream-colored paper mounted on plain
white wood sticks. and In one corner
quaint delicacies fruits fowls. vegeta-
bles. etc, are painted In water color
This is but single suggestion OF good
cheer on each fan. for the remainder

by the tempting vision OF the steam
ing pot au feu, a scarlet bunch OF rad
ishes. or a noble. naughty turkey cock.
