AT AN AFTERNOON TEA.
Etiquette Obtaining on This Occasion and Duties of Those That
 Are to Receive.

If you are to receive, wear high necked evening gown, with gloves of the same shade, or white ones. Your duties will be simply to make it as entertaining as possible for those that you know, and to assist in serving re- treatments to every one, whether you know them or not, writes Elizabeth Riddle, in the Philadelphia Press.
 If you are merely a guest, wear your handsomest street costume, with a pretty waist of the same color, and a white or light colored hat, if you have one, and white gloves.
 Leave one of your own and two of your husbands cards upon the tray as you enter. One of your husbands cards is for the hostess, the other for the host. This will be sufficient, even if daughters name appears upon the tea card. But, in case the card of some one not living in the house is inclosed, you must leave cards for ner. This is the more correct style, although at the Adgs III AO SofC blLIS anu trouble, some persons only leave one of their own cards and one of their husbands, or brothers, whichever 4C may be, for the entire receiving party.
 If you should not be able to go to the tea, you must mail the cards the same day.
 It is not necessary to remove your wraps. but if you wish to do so go at once to the dressing-room and take of your coat and furs, but not your hat or gloves.
 On entering the drawing-room. if you have not previously met your hostess, mention your name as you shake hands with her. Do not carry on a conversation of any length with the hostess, as she will wish to speak to those who follow.

was informed that the heavy hair pow der was discovered by an ironmaster named Schnorr, who observed a. pecu- liar clay adhering to his horses hoofs when riding one day near Aue. A few hours investigation led to the discoy- cry that the powder was made from the one clay that is capable of produc- ing hard paste porcelain-we refer to what is known as "kaolin." The re- suit was the production of true porce- lain.
 The elector monopolized the discov- cry, and attempted to keep it a close secret. The mineral was placed in sealed casks by dumb men, and con- veyed to Meissen. where the king es- tablished a great porcelain manufac- tory. The works were carried on in the strongly fortified castle of All brechtsburg, where the workmen were practically prisoners. Everywhere on the walls was posted the notice, "Se- crecy to the Crave This rule was en- forced at Meissen down to 1872. Stone walls and severe penalties, however, could rot prevent the secret from be- ing revealed; it is recorded that in 171S a Meissen china worker was bribed to break his oath and divulge the method of manufacture to the director of the Vienna china works, whence the art spread far and wide.
 The king himself when he visited his manufactory, went through the form of taking the oath of secrecy. The first

Later I called him to my tent and showed him that several of the men had made their marks, but if he didn't want to make his tmsrk I would teach him to write his name and wait until he could sign for him. self He said he couldn't even make pot hooks, but If would give him three days he would write his own name.
 He was the proudest man ever saw when three days later he wrote his name. But hs confided to me that he was in fresh trouble, as he couldn't read a blamed word of the letters that came to him from acQuaintances, who took it for granted that he could write. The outcome of all this was that he learned to write and secretly taught himself to read. After the war he studied law, located in the west. and was elected to congress, and 20 years ago, while in Washington, was examining with him some old documents, when he said, in his old soldierly way:
 "1 tell you I am gladder than half a dollar that I never made my mark on pay roll or any other document that was to go on file. See how many of these fellows were "cross" men. You saved me that time.

The history of the Dresden, Meissen, or Saxon porcelain factory (the three names apply to the same establish ment) is generally divided into three periods-Q) the kings, 1710-96; CD the Marcolini. 1796-1s14; (3) the mod ern. We propose to conine this artil cle to the first period only.
 The discovery of porcelain in Ger many was due to the munificence of Augustus H., king of Poland, and elec7 tor of Saxony, who employed clever young chemist named Botticter to search for the philosophers stone, which, of course, he failed to find. However, instead of solving the mys1 tery of the transmutation of metals. he happened on a system of attracting gold to his mAster's treasury. Work ing in his laboratory, some crucibles which he was preparing assumed many of the characteristics of oriental porce- lain. This was the inception of the Dresden china.
 Botticher's further experiments seem to have been conducted without

DRESDEN TANKARD. 1724.

Baron Busch, an ecclesiastic of Hides helm, whose system consisted of a method of etching or engraving on the surface of white porcelain. The cele- brated Angelica Kaufman was for a time one of the artists employed at Meissen, and her oil paintings as we'll as those of other eminent painters, were copied many times over by the china decorators.
 The painted and modelled butterflies, which occur so frequently, were worn as dress ornaments in the eighteenth century. Madame la Marquise de Gre qui, in her Memoirs" describes the Marquise de Froulay as being attired in a velvet dress, fastened up in a spe- cies of draperies with butterflies of Dresden china. Meissen snuff boxes. often decorated with views of the roy al palaces, are fairly common: so are, also, the bookcases, which are often exquisitely painted.

After 1774 the styles and forms of the preceding period were abandoned, classical motifs and shapes replacing them. The vases lost their , graceful flowing outlines and now be- came severe, with square plinths, wreaths of laurel being the fayorite decorative design. Both vases and teacups have angular handles.

cases are usually artistic both in their modelling and in the delicate coloring of the ornamentation. fine speci- men of the former represents the god- dess Night seated upon a plinth. and supporting branches for five candles; round the pedestal are armorial shields and Cupids. A beautiful clock-case is in the shape of a temple surmounted by dome, and topped by two female figu.ss. The sides are decorated with tiny Chinese landscapes and groups. It is dated 1727. Tea and coffee services ornamented with figures, pastoral sub jects and nymphs after Watteau are of frequent occurrence.

ence of Augustus, and, greatly to the delight of all concerned, the teapot sustained no injury. Botticher man. aged the Meissen factory until his death in 1719. In 1731 the elector of Baxony himself assumed the direction of the fabric. which he controlled per sonally until his ,decease in 1733. Count Bruhl was appointed to succeed to this office by the new elector, Au- gustus III.
 During the Seven Years war (1756- 63), Frederick the Great took Dresden, selling huge quantities of fine porce- lain which he found stored in the roy al warehouses at Dresden and Meissen. The Prussian king, with the keen eye to business which has ever distin- guished the Hohenzollerns, carried away all the best workmen, the mod i. els and molds, and all the Aue clay he could lay hands on, to Berlin. From the period of this robbery the Berlin china factory dates the origin of its success. Peace being restored (1764), the manufactory was reestablished un> der the direction of Countess Bruhi and special commission.
 It is recorded that when Frederick the Great approached Dresden in 1745 the so-called porcelain king" (Augus- tus) fled with his best china and pie lures, leaving the rest of his valuables and the archives to the tender mereies of the Prussians. An interesting con- temporary side-light on the history of this factory is contained in letter from Jonas Hanway, the celebrated merchant and philanthropist, who, on his return from Russia in 1750, passed through Dresden. He says There are about 700 men employed at Meissen in the manufactory, most of whom have not above ten German crowns month, and the highest wages are 40, so that the annual expenditure is not estimat- ed above S0,000 crowns. This manu- facture being entirely for the kings account, he sells yearly to the value of 10000 crowns, and sometimes 200,- 900 crowns (f35 ,000), besides the mag
 
 makes, and the great quantity he pre- serves for his own use. They pretend they cannot execute fast enough the commissions they receive from Asia, as we'll as from all parts of Europe, and are, consequently, under no neces- sity to lower the enormous price. However, this must be the consequence ere long, if the English and French continue to make such improvements in this art. It is with great satisfac- ton that I observe the manufactures of Bow, Chelsea, and Stepney so im- proved"
 The Chinese taste was predominant until the appointment of Handler, 8 celebrated sculptor, to superintend the modelling. The most usual subjects on pieces dating from this period are groups of figures in Chinese costume in compartments or medallions on plain ground, the painting being some times enclosed in richly gilded scroll

much method. They consisted of mak-
 ing various pastes. which, being baked
 in the oven, failed to produce true porcelain, but the secret was not dis covered until ITO. The means by which 1t came to light was, we think. one of the most curious incidents in the history of invention. We are told that Botticher's valet purchased a new hair powder in Dresden, and promptly dressed his masters wig with it The chemist soon noticed that his peruke was heavier than usual. and added a sample of the powder to one of his mixtures.
