0AlNTINESS IN SERVING TEA
small Things That Count For Much
In This Most Pleasant After
noon Function.

As young women are so often asked
to pour tea for their friends who are
entertaining, they should realize what
a difference II makes how the tea ia
served. II this is done in n careless
manner the guests have always the
feeling that something may at anv
moment be upset. and the quiet and
repose. which is an essential element
In that most peaceful function. Is lost

the tea TO rearrange the tray before
the arrival Of the guests, so that each

far as possible reaching over the "a.
bio should be avoided and in MOVING
the china care should be taken never
to touch the rims of the cups.
Observing these little points makes
the difference between an i4apression
Of daintiness and the reverse for
which some guests would care more
than for the flavor OF the tea.

at once into lamentation. Her plans

Matchmaking was perfectly horrid

make up his mind which girl he

only had ten days in which TO choose

| cause 1t is the best choice in colors,
but 1t is much improved by the touch
of white near the face in yoke OF
collar. Yokes of black net are worn
by the way of variety.
Now that the one-piece dress is SO
much in vogue, a black SERGE If well
tailored and fitted, will give the bust
ness girl greater satisfaction. After
this, dark, rich blue Is the best
! choice. The plainest of shapely coats
to match, worn with white collar and
jabot at the neck. and a smart hat,
make the costume all that any one
could ask.
|, 1t Is In the matter of hats that
the business girl is most liable to fail
in her attempts to get both practical
and pretty things. This is probably
because she is laboring under some
decisions as to what is practical, that
is what is durable and becoming.
Very large hats lose their shape
with much wear, are difficult to man
age on windy days, get in the way In
elevators and cars and become much
battered and dilapidated before their
days are all numbered. Therefore.
beseech you little business girl. buy a
small, smart hat, made of good ma
terial and In simple design. Bcav-
ers and beaver cloth, felts lin good
quality velvet and (spite of its fragile
appearance) good chiffon will stand
constant wear. Don't consider os.
trich feathers or flowers, but pin
your faith to wings. quilts or fancy
feathers. bows and rosettes of
ribbon or silk, waterproof malines or
chiffon, in selecting trimmings. Shapes
are good this fall. IL fact, millinery
is the best we have had for many q
year
advocate the things that make
for dainty, neat, well-set-up appear
ance, in business or anywhere else.
The clean yoke and collar, the we'll
fitting and well fastened dress, the
carefully arranged hair, smooth and
shining in puff or curl, and the smart
and trig street hat make up an en-
semble that have frills and furbelows
badly beaten, when 1t comes to real
permanent charm. If she only
knew 1t. the clothes appropriately for
the business girl are the best ever"
