Sunday afternoon tea. which our
neighbors across the bay very success

entertain in this delightful fashion than
are san Franciscans. There are so many
beautiful homes here with wide. Sc
cluded verandas where outdoor life and
a cup of tea may be enjoyed in comfort.

to make it popular is the possibility of
the men folks being present. Until re-
