Russians Take Varna.

London, Dec. 22.-The Daily Chronicle reports the capture of Varna, Bulgaria's chief Black Sea port. by the Russians. It says the bonn mbardment of the Russians silenced the Bulgarian guns and laid the town in ruins, the garrison suffering heavily.
 The Russians then, according to the report, landed infantry and artillery without loss and in sufficient force to hold the town against Bulgarian at tack.
 Previous reports had announced that Russian warships were furiously bombarding Varna and that they were accompanied by transports loaded with troops.
 Should the capture of Varna prove true, it would mean that the oft-re- reated intention of the Russians to land on Bulgarian soil, either by way of the Danube river or on the Black Sea coast, to take the Bulgarians and Turks and their Teutonic allies on the flank, has been accomplished.

Some Notes on Afternoon Teas

Receptions, luncheons and dinners
are pleasant way of paying social
debts in wholesale manner, but for
Ipleasurable visiting nothing equals the
afternoon tea.
This occasion may be formal or other
|wise, with cosy things passed along with
the freshly brewed tea. Plain bread
land butter sandwiches, small cakes and
cookies or fruit punch and homemade
cake or iced tea and sweet sandwiches
make friendly excuse for calling
simple gathering tea"
IF large number of specially in
|vited guests are to be served you will
|need flowers, color schemes and an
elaborate service. Usually there are

and these may be given charge of the
Important part of the affair Little
tables are placed for them if the service
|is la buffet, and the tea service is
arranged upon it. Other friends may

Sometimes large tables are used with
tea service at one end and chocolate at

you know how many persons are to be
present and what the occasion is.
This month strawberry festivals and
teas are in high favor. For it you may
have, with little trouble, any or all
of these:
Cold Tongue Cold Ham Cold Chicken
Saratoga Chips
Relishes Waters Sandwiches
Individual Sweet Shortcakes
Strawberries and Cream
Charottes with Strawberry Filling
Strawberry Tarts Strawberry Eclairs
Strawberries and Whipped Cream
Strawberry Ice Cream
Fruit Salad with Strawberries
Strawberry sherbet is good substi-
tute for tea in hot days and it is made
by crushing one quart of berries
through a sieve fine enough to retain
the seeds; to this pulp add four cups
of sugar, the juice of two lemons, three
pints of ice water and few perfectly
ripe berries. Freeze lightly or add
crushed ice.
If a large number of callers must
be served quickly you may have a
frappe served in the reception hall
while servants pass the trays and other
refreshments. These may be tiny sand
wiches, salad, or not, olives, nuts
and ices or sweets.
