KYOCIAL AMENITIES FoR

T MONG the social accomplish
ments, very important and
charming one to acquire is that
of making good tea Girls may
perhaps smile at this and declare that
to make tea is the simplest thing in the
world and requires no thought or prac-
tice at all. But this is not so. Any one
can brew poorly made tea, OF course,
but to make 1t as 1t should be and serve
1t with grace Is an art.
There Is an old nursery rhyme to the
effect that:
unless the tea kettle boiling be.
Filling the teapot spoils the tea,"
and girls should learn this by heart, for
the reckless manner in which this is
disregarded by the average tea maker
is nothing short of sacrilege to the
lover of good tea. 1t Is not enough,
however. to have the water boil-it
must freshly boil. Never use water that
has been boiling some time. Many a
pot of tea is ruined by the fact that the
water In the kettle is made to last an
hour or more and is drawn upon during
that time to replenish the teapot.
Take the greatest possible pains to
see that the tea you are serving is hot
and fresh. Do not fall into that lazy
little way indulged in by some of con-

early installment of flowers is carefully
unpacked and the card properly labeled.
Not even the cleverest debutante or
the most vigilant younger sister could
possibly remember at the end of the
reception by whom each bouquet had
been sent so that the only known means
of writing a satisfactory note OF thanks
to the donor is to mark on each card
as the bouquet arrives a full descrip-
tion Of the fowers-Jacque roses.
American beauties, three dozen ohrys-
anthemums, shower bouquet OF lilies

the exact bouquet, and a really sincere
note can thus be written, but even

thanks stating how much pleased she
has been with a certain carefully de-
scribed bunch of pink roses. When
the donor has seen at least 80 punches

made such an evident impression. These
letters OF thanks should be written
within two or three days at most after
the reception, and a younger sister can
assist greatly in this task by writing
TO all those who are not sufficiently
intimate as to recognize any difference
in handwriting.
No real attempt at decoration can
well be attempted with the superb

custom for the interested friends and
the flowers arrive so internationally
