An amusing little fad which has its
home in the drawing room. or saloon
as they would say here, Is that of
drinking tea la Chinois at the usual
afternoon hour. AT this function not
only a Chinese brand of tea Is used
but each individual brews the cup for
herself. The footman or the hostess
herself, as the case may be- places be-
fore each guest tiny table and a
Chinese tea making cup, with smaller
one from which to drink the cheering
beverage. This little tea maker con-
sists of three pieces-a china bowl fit
ted into a metal holder and a detach-
! able china top resembling an inverted
full of leaves, over which Is poured hot
water from kettle imbedded in a
| straw box. This manner of serving tea
is not only very smart, but Is sensible
as WELL insuring the guest hot cup
brewed to her own taste.
