Teddy" Absent, Capital Men Drink Tea

The five o'clock tea" is considered
by Washington hostesses who have
the spirit of continental entertaining
as a happy medium between the
breakfast and the dinner. Breakfast
usually occurs at an hour when men
are already busy with their affairs.
while the dinner is looked upon as too
ponderous.
With the beginning of the Easter
season the president and Mrs. Taft
will again inaugurate their lawn par
ties, which is a different name for
afternoon teas. Meanwhile. Lent is in
the propitious season for such infor-
NAL entertainments, especially of an
afternoon.
Washington men would now be CIV
ing more teas if they lived in quar-
ters suitable for such affairs. The
one hotel in Washington that is actual
ly giving a tea hour does not appeal
to the smartest
Teas at the Chevy Chase club, at
the Country club and similar places
are also considered disadvantageous
First, the distance is too great. and
attendance at them and the return
home to change for dinner requires
much time.
Hostesses in the capital do not
deny that teas without men are very
insipid.
With the presidential approval Of
this revival of afternoon teas-in fact,
with the desire of Mr.. Taft to see his
assistants and the naval and military
officers sparkle a little more in the
social firmament-there is no question
that the tea will become within the
next twelvemonth the most satisfac-
tory and popular social function. They
are also comparatively inexpensive.
and for this reason many men who
cannot afford to give large parties OF
formal character will have an oppor-
tunity to entertain.

and finally Speaker Carlisle asked Cox
if he would yield the floor for a ques-

said:
81 will yield to the gentleman
from Illinois for question on one
condition. Every time he interrupts
he draws forth his hand and points
it at me as if he had a pistol, and
it frightens me. If the gentleman from
Illinois agrees while speaking to keep
his hand in his pocket, l will yield
the floor for a question:
"'Uncle joe agreed. But he had
not proceeded far when he nervously
drew forth his hand and again pointed
it directly at Cox. In a moment Cox
was on his feet, and, declaring that
Cannon had violated his agreement,
demanded that Cannon resume his
