SERVICE AT AFTERNOON TEA
One of the Best Of the Ideas
Recently Evolved.

For the woman who loves a cup Of
tea in the afternoon and who also
likes a small cookie or cheese cracker
OF some such tid-bit to nibble while
slipping her tea, there is a new sug-
gestion in the way Of serving the wa
fers and cakes.
Often even a sandwich plate will be
too small to hold as many crackers
as are needed when three or four
friends drop in for a cup Of tea and
gossip, and for this a flower basket
the style that is fiat with a tall handle,
generally used for the garden when
picking flowers, is just the thing, for
it holds a most surprising number of
cakes, and in this way one can easily
pass a large number of tid-bits at one
time without the least inconvenience,
and for crackers, decorated with jelly
and cheese and such edibles as cannot
be laid on top of each other, this fiat
basket is unsurpassed.

are everywhere to be had in pink
crepe de chine; one perfectly plain
one unlined, with very scant elbow
sleeves, is finished with the border
of white elder down; it is priced at
$7.95, and could be made more sue
cessfully for about half the amount at
home. Another model is of pink char
meuse, draped with white chiffon and
trimmed with a rever effect in shadow
lace, which is caught in with a ros-
cite of the chiffon at one side of the
skirt, but this gown is spoiled by a
Powered white satin girdle. For those
who care to dress a little out of the
ordinary run Of apparel there is a
boudoir gown of greenish yellow near
ly of mustard tone. Its material is
crepe de chine, and, Of course, stock
ings of silk and garters of satin, and
the petticoat is to be had matching.
Almost all the boudoir slips r of
clear white lace. A woman may make
herself very charming in the present
styles in her boudoir.

Something more than a mere desire
for change has brought about the
use of white for those in mourning.
It is the expression of a changing at
titude of the mind toward this mat
ter of mourning apparel. White is
not somber or oppressive to others
and therefore will make the most In
obtrusive mourning. For the past
three seasons black hats Of Grape Tor
other fabrics trimmed with crape)
have been duplicated in white and it
Is probable that the idea has been
we'll received because the most au-
thoritative shops continue to show
white mourning.
For the summer season wells are
made Of net bordered with Grape.
Those for first mourning are large
but cool and light, nevertheless. The
very large, coarse mesh with wide
Grape border, either in black or white,
can be worn without any incon-
venience, 1t is probable that white
Grape and other mourning fabrics in
white will make rapid progress in
popular favor now that they are well

introduced. White Grape Is a very
beautiful fabric and the process OF
water proofing to which English
Grape is subjected has made it prac-
teal.
A turban and veil are pictured
here developed in white. The turban
is of crepe Georgette with veil of rich
net bordered with white English
Grape. There is no trimming on the
turban but the Grape border on the
veil pinned to the front of the turban
and turned back provides a beautiful
decoration.
Almost a duplicate of this model is
shown in black. These serve to
demonstrate that it is now simply a
matter of choice between black and
white mourning. The introduction of
Grape in the body of the hat or in
the veil or trimming is significant of
mourning and makes these models
appropriate for first or deep mourn
ing. Grape is the only fabric every
where acknowledged as correct for
this purpose.
