NEW YORK AT TEA HOUR

Within the last few years New York
has added a new hour to it's day-the
tea hour. Like hot and cold water,
stationary tubs, the telephone and all
other modern conveniences. now that
we have it we wonder how in the world
we ever lived without it. 1t is quite
the pleasantest hour in the twenty
four and certainly the most pictur--
esque. Women wear their prettiest
gowns if they are at home-their
smartest hats and carriage wraps If
they are abroad.
So far as fashions go, New York is a
city of one street. If you are feeling
at odds with yourself and your ward
robe you turn instinctively into the
sideways and byways of the town. But
if you possess a toilet of unimpeacha-
BILE character and antecedents, wild
horses couldn't keep you from the
greatest plaisance of America-Fifth
avenue on a winters afternoon.
And, after the drive or promenade,
the tea hour. generally without the
tea, it must be confessed. For we
have adopted the British national
habit without the national drink. If
you are inclined to be awfully English
you take tea and mullins. But if you
are willing to be frankly American you
will indulge in ices and little cakes and
other sweet things.-Delineator.

SUGGESTIONS FOR
THE GIRL WHO SEWS

Girls who prefer to sew on dainty
things during Lent instead of the usual
bingham aprons and flannel petticoatS
made up by the average sewing class,
may probably employ themselves with
the making of various ribbon contriv-
ances which will sell readily at an
Easter bazaar. An envelope pin book
of four by six inches diameter when
closed consists of ribbon strip which
has one straight end folding under a
pointed end equipped with a silk cord
loop which fastens over small orna-
mental button. The inside of the case
is padded to accommodate pins and
the outside embroidered In monogram
or floral design.
Work trays, made by covering an OBJ
long piece Of pasteboard with wide rib
bon, have center frames in repousse
daisy work surrounding pin cushion
which lifts to expose needle case.
Around the edges of the tray are laced
fourteen spools of sewing silk.
To make lingerie ribbon reels cover
half dozen heart shaped cardboards
with silk and join them with short
length of ribbon passed through eye
letted holes and terminating at the OUT
err sides of the end hearts in ribbon
rosettes. From this sillSen axle may
easily be pulled the various colors used
for lingerie ribbons.
An pIdCllCttl
case consists of two squares of card
board somewhat wider and longer than
the largest size handkerchief. These
squares are padded with scented cot
ton covered with silk and secured by
o. shirred ribbon covered elastic. A COL
lapsible handkerchief case may be made
of stiff Powered ribbon three inches
wide, shirred at each side over an em-
broidery ring, to one of which is at
tached cotton padded, sacheted card
board bottom. The bow decorated lid
is formed of ribbon covered embroid-
cry ring a size smaller than that used
for, the box.
Satisfactory veil holders are made of
padded and ribbon covered lengths Of
broom handle or curtain rod over
which the wells may be rolled and kept
crisply fiat and unrumpled,
The girl who wishes to render the
verandas or the summer cottage at
tractive should take time by the fore
lock and make up an assortment of
pillow covers. One of the most SER
ivceable tops is of a new material
which closely resembles leather and
comes in red, blue green and leather
shades made up plainly and fringed
with imitation leather fringe.
Burlap covers are embroidered with
dover, foliage and bird designs, or with
water and rural scenes, and are I'm

tween every two places, but still on
line with the goblets.
1t is customary nowadays to lay the
table with silverware with every course
up to the dessert. The dessert spoon
or fork is brought in on the finger
bowl and the coffee spoon with the
coffee.
Table spoons, soup spoons and the
carving utensils for the host are like
wise brought on with the course for
which they are intended. The forks.
all but the oyster fork, are, of course,
arranged on the left side of the plate,
and the knives, soup spoon and oyster
fork on the right. The oyster fork IS
placed farthest from the plate, the
soup spoon next, then knives for butter
and roast respectively-this presup-
poses a dinner of six courses-and con-
tinuing down the line, the fork near
est the plate is for the roast, the next
one for the fish, and the third for the
salad.
This arrangement holds for the meal
in which the host does his own carving.
But where one wishes the plates
served from the buffers pantry the
carving utensils and the dinner plates
are naturally in that place.
AS the plates are removed they
should be sent to the kitchen immedi-
ately and fresh plates instantly sub
stituted. Even where the roast IS
carved on the table it is customary 70
serve the soup from the pantry. II
there are no oysters to precede IT,
places may be served just an instant
before dinner is announced,
No one needs to be reminded OF the
old formula. "Pass to the left; re-
move from the right" When the en-
trees and salads are passed as a final
word the servant holds the dish on n
folded napkin on the fat of his hand,
with a large tablespoon and fork
lying across the dish. Some discretion
must be used in passing to see that. the
dish is held low enough for the guest
to help himself easily.-Buffalo Even

How to Lay the Table
Correctly for Formal Dinner

MO matter how many the guests
the proper arrangement for the
~ table for the formal dinner is un-
changed. The bare table is always
covered with thickness of cotton fan
nel--of the sort that comes double
width for about so cents a yard-be-
fore the cloth is laid. This is partly
to protect the polished surface of the
table from contact with hot dishes, but
chiefly to deaden the clatter Of china
and silver.
The damask cloth, which is always
in the best taste for dinner, should
have been ironed with distinct crease
down the middle as a guide in the
mathematical arrangement of the
places.
Next are laid plates large enough to
hold the oyster or soup plate which is
to contain the first course, and on II,
or sometimes beside it, is arranged the
napkin. This should have been ironed
SO as to fold over in three rather than
four thicknesses, and 1t should be fold
ed first so that the upper edge is brok-
en- at the midline and brought down the
crease on either side Of the midcrease.
The two protuding ends of the linen
are now folded back on themselves so
as to leave nearly a rightangled tri-
angle of the napkin. This arrange
ment is finally turned over so that the
folled ends are underneath, and the
dinner roll inserted.
The two glasses, one for plain water
and a more slender one for mineral
water, are placed side by side in front
of the plate. Care should always be
taken that every glass on the table Is
the same distance from the accom-
panying plate. The individual salt and
pepper shakers are not placed on
line with our two temperance glasses,
but a little to the right of the plate:
When there are no individual shakers,
the salt may be placed midway be-

TO BE A CHRISTIAN

How very hard 1t is to be Christian!
Hard for you and me,
Not the mere task of making real
That duty up to its IDEAL
Effecting thus, complete and whole.
A purpose of the human soul
For that is always hard to do;
But hard, mean, for me and you
To realize 1t, more or less,
With even the moderate success
Which commonly repays our strife
To carry out the aims Of life
This aim is greater" you may say,
"And SO more arduous every way"
But the Importance OF the fruits
Still proves to man, in all pursuits,
Proportional encouragement.
Then, what If 1t be Gods intent
That labor to this one result
Shall seem unduly difficuit?'
All that's question in the dark
And the sole thing that l remark
Upon the difficulty, this:
We do not see IL where 1t Is,
At the beginning of the race:
As we proceed. 1t shifts its place,
And where we look for palms to fall,
We find the tugs to come--that's ali.

USES SUGAR TO SHORTEN LIFE.

His Eyes.

trial for the alleged theft of diamonds.
He is attempting slow suicide by rub
bling sugar into his eyes. The prisoner
was examined by Health Officer
Strong the other day. who discovered
the sugar stuffed in between the eye
lids and eyeballs.
When Moreno confessed that he had
resorted to sugar as a means of end
ing his life. he explained that on his
native island the custom prevails
among those who desire TO shorten
their existence and that it invariably
proves successful.
The idea is new one here and the
authorities state that the only result
so far as they can ascertain would be
to destroy the mans sight.
