 'Go if you like, dear" answered her mother. But Miss Dunham caught the wistful note in her voice.
 "No. I won't leave you, darling" ," she said, softly. "I don't mind wait ing up here"
 But for some reason she did mind. She looked restlessly at the clock and moved her chair so that 1t would be partially hidden when the inner door opened.

 tom of serving afternoon tea is, 4 in many houses, quite as much
 a part of the regular household routine as breakfast or dinner. The tea may be simply served for the family and casual visitors who drop in at the ''tea-hour," or 1t may be quite an elaborate affair, with invitations and many guests.
 When 1t assumes the proportions of reception, the dining table is the center of attraction, and guests are escorted thither. For a cup of tea with chance caller, the tea-table is brought into the drawing-room or sit ting-room. It is no longer usual to leave the small table set, as used ire quently to be seen There was a suggestion of possible dust about that custom not quite savory to the tea drinker. To meet this change in fashion a small portable table is used.
 For this most simple and pleasing way of entertaining ones friends the preparations need not be elaborate. The tea-table may stand in the cor ner of the drawing-room, or a room opening of 1t.
 If the hostess expects many callers. she should ask friend to preside over the tea urn or kettle. If cof fee or chocolate Is to be served an other friend may be asked to pour this. The second beverage Is not nee essary, as the one for which the function is named is sufficient and Is generally liked.
 The table must be covered with a pretty cloth, and on this should be the tea-kettle with an alcohol lamp to insure a constant supply of boil ing water to replenish the teapot or to weaken the liquid already poured. In some homes the maid is supposed to bring in freshly boiling water as often as required, but the particular housewife usually finds that the water which she boils herself is more certain than that carried from the

distant kitchen. There never was a truer adage than the old one that de clares:
 Unless the kettle boiling be,
 Filling the teapot spells the tea"
 Therefore, the connoisseur wants to be sure that the steaming liquid poured upon the high-priced leaves she uses is more than "scalding hot"
 With the kettle on the table must be the teapot, sugar bowl. and cream jug. The cups and saucers are ar ranged within easy reach of the per son who 'pours," and on the table may be pile of plates, each one pro vided with a small napkin or dolly. Many hostesses omit these plates. and they are, after all, matter of taste, although where there are several kinds of sandwiches or cakes the guest finds them convenience.
