/ sonalities in Younger Set

Although. ~ reports are authentic, the
White House will not contribute TO the
debutante ranks for several years TO

debut. the White House will be thrown
open 10 the younger members OF society.
Mrs. Taft displays a decidedly common

much larger. Tall and well proportioned
with flashing dark eyes, a fine complexion

Novelties for the Tea Table

N GIRL who has her own tea table make it
~ much more attractive by often having little novel
ties. All girls like to try something new and the
things become by and by regular favorites. One
of these novelties is to put about half spoonful of
orange marmalade in cup of tea. 1t gives delicious
flavor and change from the usual slice of lemon
Many persons have served marmaade sandwiches
with tea but it is newer to the marmaIade in the
tea and some other kind of sandwiches. Those made
with nut paste would be good, pate de foie gras
Swedish waters buttered and heated would also be
delicious.
Some girls do not for tea and very fond Of
chocolate it is good plan to chocolate, too
for ones friends 1t either be done by having the
chocolate sent up from the kitchen all made by
using an instantaneous chocolate for unexpected
pany The latter is made by pouring boiling water
over it just like tea except that it must be stirred
until dissolved.
And with the chocolate another novelty be used.
a marshmaow dropped into hot chocolate gives
unusual and unique flavor which is much enjoyed by
many persons A very charming addition to girls
tea table would be two little glass jars which she could
keep supplied with the marshmalows and marmalade.

well as practical dressing table sets, comprising

stitched hem or with washable ribbon border
Sheer white lawn sets have wide borders headed with
hemsttching with narrow insertions OF Valen
ciennes or muslin embroidery, while those of alover
muslin embroidery frill trimmed edges OF Valen
cennes or Cluny. An exceedingly dainty effect IS
gained by placing strips of embroidery and lace entire

sheer muslin edged with lace.
Dotted and figured Swiss is made up with rune
fried edges of the material finished with
rolled hem, with narrow lace or with baby ribbon
Some of them are bordered with a wide hem headed
with ribbon run beading. All of these very thin

edges in plain buttonhoe.
Newest of all in the realm of dressing table sets
those of exceedingly coarse net appliqued with
cretonne sprays and yelled with fine net through
