DAINTlNESS 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 it makes how the tea is
served If this is done in a careless
manner the guests have always the
feeling that something may at any
moment be upset, and the quiet and
repose, which is an essential element
in that most peaceful function, is lost.
It is we'll for the person who pours
the tea to rearrange the tray before
the arrival Of the guests, so that each
piece is just where she is accustomed
to have it, otherwise she is apt to fun
bic and move the things about. AZ
far as possible reaching over the ta-
BILE 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
tho difference between an impression
Of daintiness and the reverse, for
