SERVICE FOR AFTERNOON TEA
Having Cup on Matching Plate, With
out Saucer, Is Excellent Method.
for Obvious Reasons.

An easy way of serving a cup of
tea is to place the cup on a matching
plate, and to put a folded tea napkin.
spoon and fork on the plate. Then
pass whatever sandwiches or cakes you
may desire to serve with the tea. They
can be accommodated on the plate,
and daintily and easily eaten.
If elaborate cakes or sandwiches are
served with tea and no plate is pro-
vided it is difficult to manage them
balanced on the saucer of the cup. If
a separate plate is held under the cup
and saucer, it is practically useless,
for the saucer so nearly fills it that
the margin at the edge is not wide
enough to accommodate the cakes.
OF course when a simple wafer or
easily eaten sandwich is to be passed
with the tea the saucer of the teacup
is sufficiently commodious to accom-
modate it.

BEST TO COMPROMISE
DURATION OF FULL SKIRT STYLE
is UNCERTAIN.
Wisest Course Is to Have Them Made
OF Moderate Width With a Lean
ing Toward FuIlness-Alter
ing Last Years Gowns.

In going over the seasons ward
robe it is the best to stake ones
chances on the wide skirt STAYING
with us until July or August There
are dressmakers who are prophets.
and who say that we shall probably
wear the full skirt for two or three
years at least. There are others who
say 1t will be out of fashion by mid
summer. The only way to be even
partly safe is to compromise on mod
crate width with a leaning toward
fullness,
If your last summer skirts had
long tunics, the remedy is easy. That
trulsm has been repeated over and
again for two months. The added fact
mat the new skirts, both plated and
circular, have wide bands of differ
ent fabric and sometimes of a diff
rerent color at the hem, gives one
even more hope for successful altera-
ton.
Plating is III high demand and the
anticipated tunic, therefore. which
was considered as an questionable
garment, can be made into a skirt
by the addition of a deep band. It
may be of satin if the skirt is of
cloth, or cloth if the skirt is of silk.
No one objects to these combinations
nowadays.
Then there is the question of the
long sleeve to be answered. Suppose
the gowns of last year, also the coats,
had three-Quarter sleeves-what then?
Fortunately, fashion has brought
about the use of double sleeves. The
upper part is opaque, the lower part
transparent; therefore one can add
chiffon or muslin, net or lace to a
short sleeve and bring it down to the
wrist. These lower sleeves are very
often full as well as transparent, and
they are finished at the wrist with a
velvet bracelet and narrow ruffle.
All these details are good to remem-
