When We Drink Tea.

We Americans are fast falling into
line with the English regarding our
time of drinking tea. In fact, to drink
tea with ones dinner, or even following
dinner, In place of coffee, would be re-
garded as a sign of rusticity by most
Americans nowadays. and few persons
who pride themselves on f1nesse Of taste
with regard to food would take tea
with anything more than a very light
luncheon: We are most of US pos
sessed of the same prejudice that our
English cousins have. that tea does not
go well with meat The fact that the
flavor Of tea and the effect of tea is
most delightful when 1t is taken either
alone or either with a wafer or small
sandwich. makes us prefer it in mid
afternoon, or with a very light lunch
con. We have not fallen in line with
our English cousins to the extent of
drinking tea for breakfast. No doubt
one reason why English persons avoid
coffee for breakfast is because English
in this respect we have the advantage
for the widespread use OF the perco-
lator or drip coffee pot in this country
has greatly improved our methods Of
coffee brewing.
If drinking tea at any other time
than mid-afternoon is regarded as not
quite CONNIE IL faut among Americans,
at home or in England. they should at
least be broad minded enough to know
that in Russia and in some other parts
of Europe tea is decidedly in place
after dinner in the drawing room or at
any time when one wishes a beverage
or a mild tonic. Just how the Russian
manages to drink tea before going to
bed without disturbing his slumbers is
something that the American, of
course. does not understand.
In China and in Japan tea is drunk
even more frequently than in Russia.
and as no Russian travels extensively
without samovar, SO no gentleman in
China travels without a tea caddy and
the rest of the tea-serving equipment.
In China there Is a saying that the
tea drinker becomes early lame, and
among Chinese beauties there is feel
Ing that extensive tea drinking de-
stroys youth. Wherever tea is taken
to great extent. there are some such
pretudices. and we Americans are per
haps wise in restricting our use of tea
to the social cup at or o'clock.

The feature of the smart semi-tailored
blouse of lingerie fabric shown In the
sketch is the clever arrangement OF tho
sleeves. The sleeves are plain fitting the
arm easily and finished at the wrist by a
narrow cuff, which may be made either Of
the embroidery or the lace. which appears
as a trimming on the blouse.
On the outer section of each sleeve a
strip of lace or embroidery. trif1e more
than an inch wide at the wrist and gradu-
ated to a point at the elbow, is set on. It
gives pretty and unusual touch to the
sleeves and as every woman who has
ever attempted the designing and making
Of her own blouses knows. it is difficult to
find anything unusual in a blouse sleeve.
They are generally of the shirt type. with
narrow cuffs and slight fullness above. or
