in the dsning-room. but as a rule 1t is
better in the same room with visitors
Beginning the season by giving large
tea. is the method many women adopt to
let their friends know that they are at
home for the winter. This Is the most
inexpensive way of inviting many per-
sons 10 the house at once. and consists
in merely sending out visiting cards on
which is written the special day and the
hours or receiving. On such day the
hostess usually asks one or two fr1ends
to help receive with her, IL she has no
grown daughter or relative she wishes
with her, and several others are In the
tfininR-room. On this occasion the rooms
are "a rkened so that artificial lights are
employed. and the table In the dining
room is used.
Tea and chocolate. with cakes and
very small sandwiches, are the only eat
ables, except, of course, candies and
salted nuts 1t is not necessary 10 have
sandwiches when there are cakes Oc-
casionally some hostesses have salads
and ices, but this is supposed TO be for
most formal occasio Invitations to a
tea do not require call afterward upon
the hostess, for a tea Is merely an op-
portunfty to call.

style. that where the coat sets smooth
ly over the shoulders and falls in ever
increasing fullness for its entire length.
The width of the hem of these gar
ments when they assume full length
lines is often not far from ten yards;
and In the case of very tall woman
good round dozen yard2 at the hem
would not be at all out Of proportion.
Sleeves TO these evening wraps are
many and various. Some are of the
loose dolnan persuasion. Others are
really a cape that serves as an arm
covering; others are N double puffs,
and still others follow the loose pagoda
design and end anywhere at all along
the arm. from the middle OF the fore
arm to the, wrist: and each and any
length is equally fashionable.
The Ceppchin hood Is a marked fea-

With the beginning of autumn comes
the making OF calls, and general get
ting back to formality much laid aside
during the summer. If woman has a
limited income and her domestic staff
is so restricted as to call for clever
management to make all go smoothly
one OF the best things to do is to have
a day at home and see formal visitors
only at that time. There is, I know. a
general idea that a day is affectation
for all but the very rich, is indeed put
ting on airs" but there is no greater
mistake 1t is An arrangement that SIM
plifies the weeks work for servant and
saves trials and vexations of both mis-
tress and maid. II entirely obvfates any
chance OF unexpected calls from persons
for whom one would fain put the best
foot forward. only to be urhappily con-
scious that the maid of all work has
answered the door bell locking like
slavey and that the visitor was kept
waiting fifteen minutes while the hostess
dressed TO receive. =
Nothing Of this sort occurs when a
woman has a day. She is then ready for
visitors, and her maid is also in readi-
ness to open the door. Everything is
spick and span, and as the domestic

permitted to have the maid say not at
