ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS

MRS. A. T K: The refreshments for an
afternoon tea are usually served in the din
ing room. The dining table is prettily deco
rated with flowers and there is generally an
attractive girl or matron to serve tea. and one
to serve chocolate. They are seated at oppo-
site ends OF the table and the guests come
into the dining room when they please for
their tea and other refreshments, standing
informally around the table while they eat
and, drink Frequently II there is TO be
large gathering the hostess asks several Of
her young girl friends to help in passing the
tea as well as the two who are to serve II.
The refreshments at q tea may consist of tea,
chocolate. sandwiches OF several kinds, bis
cult an Ice, and bonbons.
PERPLEXED: BY all means your mother
should be the one TO send the invitation TO
the young man 10 spend the week end at
your home. 1t would not be good form for
you to send such a note without one from her.
A CONSTANT READER: 1t is customary
to mark a wedding present with the brides
initials.
GLADYS: U.der most circumstances a
woman does not rise when introduced to a
man. When a woman offers her hand upon
accepting an introduction she conveys there
by a sign Of cordial welcome Of the acquaint
ance, but In formal fashionable society none
but the hostess pursues this course.

There is no card game in which slight in
timations can convey so much information
as that Of bridge. In justice to inexperienced
players, who by their manner give informa4
ton, one must admit that most Of the ap-
parent unfsirness at the bridge table is unin-
territorial. Hesitation and mannerisms OF
any sort cannot be too carefully avoided.
