Serving Afternoon Teas
Arrangement Of Table
Rules For Guests Cards

The custom of serving aftesHoon
tea is now very nearly universal. We
call a halt in the middle of the After
noon and refresh ourselves with tea or
chocolate and a sandwich or cake.
A cup of something hot OF a glass
of something cold, Accusing to the
weather, invariably fits In with the
call late In the day.
Formal tea, of course, can only be
served on the day at home, and for
this reason many women set aside one
afternoon in the week for this pur-
pose.
For this tea guests may adjourn to
the dining room, where a table cover
ed with a lace centerpiece has a lace
dolly for each guest. On this is set a
plate, usually of a fancy design. for
the cakes, ETC., and the hostess pours
at one end of the table from a massive
silver tea service set In a silver tray.
The maid at her left passes the cups.
A more formal arrangement consists
in moving the table a little to one side
of the room and ranging chairs
around the walls. The table is cover
ed with a lace cloth, over the edges
of which is draped smilax or ferns.
There is an elaborate centerpiece of
flowers or spun sugar initiating a
basket of flowers, with two or more
shaded candelabra to match the dec
o~rations. On this table are massed the
ices, sandwiches, cakes, etc.. which
form the menu Of the tea. Walters or
maids go to each guest, bearing a tray
on which is a cup of tea, of choco-
late or a glass of lemonade. The
guest makes her choice, and then the
waiter brings a plate of assorted good
things.
At very elaborate affairs 1t is Gus
tomary to serve bouillon and creamed
oysters, mushrooms or croquettesI to-
gether with Ices frozen in fancy
forms.
Daylight is excluded, and rose cblor-
ed lamps or candles take its place.
At a formal affair half an hour is
the proper time limit. One greetsI the
hostess and guest of honor, passes into
the dining Don and there makes
adieu.
At an afternoon tea which partAkes
more of the nature of a reception
dressing rooms are provided, where
guests leave their outer wraps.
The hostess at an afternoon8 tea
wears a high necked gown of light
silk, chiffon or velvet and JEWELS.
Men should wear double or hgle
breasted frock coats of black or Very
dark gray, trousers of gray and top hat.
Women guests never remove their
hats nor. 1t Is needless to add leir

At last they came to the end Of the

Bowies. hopping his brow in a most
unmilitary way, except at the mines
and back there In the town."
"Where are the mines?" asked Dep
bingham.
'aThe company's biggest mines are
seven or eight miles eastward as the
crow flies, quite at the other side Of
the island. It's very rocky over there,
and there's no place for a landing
from the sea. Everything is brought
overland to Arafat and placed In the
vaults of the bank. Four times a year
the rubies and sapphires are shipped
to the brokers In London and Paris
and Vienna. It's quite a neat and reg
tular arrangement, sir"
"But / should think the COMPOUNDED
natives would steal everything they
got their hands on"
"What would be the use, sir? They
couldn't dispose of a single gem On the
island, and nothing is taken away from
here except In the company's chests.
Besides, my lord. these people are not
thieves. They may kill people occa-
sionally. but they are quite honest, be-

my lady," said Bowles, there are
but four poor men IN the island-my-
self and the three Englishmen who op-
crate the bank. There isn't a poor
man, woman or child among the n a
ltives. This Is truly a land Of rich
men. The superintendent of the mines
Is a white mana German-and the

According to its own records, the
chateau. fashioned quite closely after
a famous structure in France, was de-

There was not a sign of a servant

Certainly not, str. They ride their

"You take my breath away" said the
other, lapsing into a stunned silence.
The road had become SO steep and
laborious by this time that Bowles
was very glad to forego the pleasure
of talking. He fell back with Mr..
Saunders and proceeded to give the
inquisitive lawyers clerk all the late
news of the island.
prompt to protect themselves In a le-
gal sense. They had engaged the serv-
ices Of eminent solicitors in London,
who were to represent them in the
final settlement of the estate. London
was to be the battle-ground In the
coming conflict. A committee of three
had journeyed to England to put the
matter In the hands of these lawyers
and were now returning to the island
with a representative of the firm, who
was coming out to stand guard, so to
speak. Won Blitz, the German superin-
tendent, was the master mind in the
native contingent. The absent com
mittee was composed Of Ben Adj, ABB
dallah Ben Sabbat and Rasula, the
Arafat lawyer. They were truly wise
men from the east-old, shrewd, crafty
and begotten of Mohammed.
The mines continued to be operated
as usual pending the arrival Of the ex-
ecutors' representative, who, as we
know, was now IN the ground in the
person of Thomas Saunders. The fact
that he also served as legal adviser to
Lady Deppingham was not of sufi-
cient moment to disturb the arrange
ments on either side.
AS for the American heir, Robert
Browne, he had not yet arrived. He
was coming by steamer from the west,
according to report, and was probably
on the Boswell, Sumatra to Madagas-
car, due of Arafat In two or three
days.
1.-The islanders" said Mr.. Bowles,
lighting a cigarette, ut looks to me,

They get the property whether they
marry or not, while the original bene-
ficiaries have to marry each other or
get off the island at the end OF the
year. Most of the islanders have got
three or four wives already"
"You mean to say that they a
have as many wives as they choose?"
demanded Saunders, wrinkling his
brow.

town out into the green foot

wooden wheeled carts, none too clean,
each drawn by four perspiring men,
served as conveyances by which the

persistent failure of his attempts to

But lie has had one success, at any

the music but also the text of Il Pag-
