Army of Tea Drinkers.

With this provision which the women in the ultra smart set have made for themselves, New York has provided for it's army of afternoon tea drinkers, the number of tea rooms opened in recent years proving that the foreign custom of afternoon tea is becoming an established one in this country.
 All through the fashionable shopping districts you come upon these artistic tea rooms, some of them quite high up and necesstating a little hunt for them But they charming and restful, the tables shaded in candles, and everything in harmony As a recent writer has said that, undoubtedly, with such sur roundings there is an added flavor to the English breakfast tea deliciously brewed here and an especial erispness to the toasted English muffins
 One of the quaintest tea rooms in New York has it's chief decoration in tea-pots from many countries. They make an effective background in a handsome plate rail. Even the Japasese woman would feel at home here amid the atmosphere of the cherry blossom land. The eonnois- sleur in Dresden china will find some ex- quisite specimens here and even the Hol- land woman would feel at home amid the Dutch things Old brasses and pewter are interspersed and yet everything is so artistically arranged that the tea room does not savor as much Of a curio shop as might be supposed, although of course q curio dealer is nearby.
 But of all the tea rooms in New York the most delightful is a little spot where you sip tea in a pergola, savoring of the Paris tea room, here on Fifth avenue, from where you turn into it, and thread your way among the smart autos that in- fiict that fashionable thoroughfare. This pergola, vine-covered. is decidedly the most foreign thing yet introduced into the American tea-drinking world. But the American woman is most adaptable. First, she copies her English sister in her o'clock tea habit, and the evolu- tion of the tea room resulted. And now, after exhausting every decora tive idea in the way of making her surro undings ar tistic the pergola has been introduced with all of it's foreign charm and beauty, and here is fitting spot for the o'clock tea.

New York, September 15.-(Special)- September days at the Colony club still find its pretty roof garden set in palms and hung with fanciful lanterns. It is the most charming place in New York these evenings, with its roof garden filled with people who go there to dine. You enter through small colonial doorway in Madison avenue, quite the quaintest lit tie entrance in all New York, and which seems like a bit of the old south set down in the heart of Gotham.
 The club house itself is built of colonial brick and the colonial atmosphere pre- vails in the arrangement of the rooms and the colonial epoch is expressed in the furnishings. It is one of the most elegant clubs in New York, it's member ship including the wealthiest and most distinguished women. As it is exclusively a woman's club, and one of the few club houses in the world owned by wom- en, it has attracted no end of attention. And it is not yet old enough to be placed among the routine places to be seen, nor will it ever become generally known in that sense that the Knckerbocker or Union clubs are known or the homes of certain multi-millionaires on upper Fifth avenue or Riverside drive.
 It is in one of the down town neigh borhoods and is the most modest look ing building, hedged in by the s<yscraper district. Thanked by tall walls and with in the shadow of Madison Square gar den and other noted places, the Colony club asserts itself in its simple white pilared facade, it's old fashioned brick, it's limited height, in striking contract to the modern character of the buildings about 1t.
 As satisfying as it is architectural ly, its real charm lies within, and it's real delights express themselves these recent moonlit evenings when dining there on It's roof garden, set in palms, and with the September moon rising over East river.
 When the Colony club was first opened all the world of women was interested in it, not only the exclusive and wealthy women who compose the membership, but those who were ambitious to be included in such a representative membership, and also much gossip from women generally. The idea of a woman's club being con ducted on the same pretentious plan as a mans club excited world of comment. A club where it's members could lunch and dine and put up" their friends, where they could go for rest and recrea- ton and pleasure, and where they could

II the Sun Was to Change Color.

We have grown so accustomed to
sunlight of the present coloring and
shading that we can scarcely COM
prehend the conditions that would
arise if the sun were to suddenly
change to some other color. If the
sun were blue, for instance, there
would be only two colors in the
world--blue and black-or if it
were red, then everything would
be ND or black. In the latter
case re should have red snow, red
lilies, black grass, black clear sky
and red clouds. There would be
little variety, however, if the sun
were green. Things that are now
yellow would still remain that color,
but there would be no reds, puppies,
orange or pinks and very few of
those cherry hues that make the
world so bright.

A Ready Reply.

It was on a P. and o. liner, and
the stewards were being drilled in
waiting at table. In the course of
the drill they lined up outside the
saloon with empty dishes, supposed
to contain curry and rice, and on a
bell being rung marched to their
respective tables and proffered the
dish to each seat containing an i'm
aginary diner. The eagle eye Of
the purser noticed that one steward,
a cockney named Bill, deliberately
passed one of the seats without
proffering the dish. He strobe up to
the table, and his manner betokened
trouble for Bill.
"Hi, you. What do you mean by
missing that seat?
"Oh, that's all right, sir" replied
Bill, not bit put out. "That gent
don't take curry."-London Illus

So far a. tbe present writer Is
aware, the earliest Mention of div
cries" made in history wss during
the reign Of King Pepin of France,
who fourished about the year '7so
A. ID.
A form Of amusement to which
King Pepin was partial was what
we're termed cours plenieres. These
were assemblies at which. upon the
kings invitation, all the lords and
courtiers Of France were expected
to. be present. They were held
twice in each yesr-at Christmas
and Easter-snd generally lasted
for about a week at each time,
Sometimes these gatherings toek
place at the kings palace, some
times in the neighborhood Of ons
Of the larger French cities and
sometimes in some rural district
While the festival lasted the king
took all his meals in public, bishops
and dukes alone being privileged to
sit at the royal table. A second ia.
bic was provided for abbots, counts
and other leading men, and at both
tables there was shown more pro.
fusion than delicacy, both in the
quality of the meats and drinks and
the manner in which they were serv-
ed. Flutes. hautboys and other mu.
sical instruments we're played be-
fore the bearers of each course as
it was removed from the tables.
When dessert was served twenty
heralds, each holding aloft a jewell
ed goblet. shouted thrice, 'Largesse,
largcsse from the most potent Of
kings" As they shouted they scat
tered among the crowds handfuls Of
gold and silver coins. Then the
trumpets were blown, while the bet
ter class spectators shouted and the
meaner sort scrambled and often
fought vigorously for the money
scattered by the heralds. t
Charles VII. of France put final
stop to the cours plenieres, alleging
that the expense attendant upon his
wars with England made it impossi-
bic for him to continue them. One
Of the severest causes of expense, it
was explained, arose from the fact
that, beginning with King Pepin's
time, etiquette and custom alike de-
manded that the king should upon
these occasions give an entire suit
of new and gorgeous clothing not
only to his own servants and re-
tanners, but also to those Of the
queen and all the princes of the
blood royal. These garments were
said to be livres-that is, deliver
ed" at the kings e1pense-and
from this word the English word
'1ivery" was derived, as was the GUS
tom Of providing servants with Div
cry" from the above mentioned
practice of certain of the French
kings.-London Standard.

The Fair, from almost every point
OF view, was "a most decided success.
There was a greater variety and "A
better quality OF exhibits and a
greater number OF exhibitors in al
most every department than ever
before. The racing was frst-clsss,
the ladies' department., which has al
ways attained TO a high standard.
FAR outclassed that OF any previous
fair, while the farm products and
poultry department were fully up to
the usual excellence. There does
not, however, seem 80 be the proper
interest saken in she stock depart
ment which this important branch
OF agriculture demands. The stock
exhibited was of high class. but the
number OF exhibits was below what
It should have been. is is true that
there Is expense and trouble attach
ed to exhibiting stock at the fair.
and the premiums are small, but the
advertisement OF stock is well worth
the time and expense, even il the SIT
isisction of raising and showing nice
stock is not taken into considera-
tion. We, therefore, hope to see
this department improve in she
future.
The attendance at the fair, especi-
ally the second day, was all that
could be desired, and it attests the
deep interest taken in it by the peo-
pie generally and marks it as a per
manent institution in our CON-
munity.
