A Novel Tea Table.

A curious tea cabinet has lately
been invented by a designer which
contains two deep drawers in which
the tea things could be stored away

inlaid in wood at either side
There's many slip 'twixt thecup
and the lip and 'sYou can't eat

keeping teacups in, but a hostess
would probably utilize the drawers
for biscuits and cakes.
