had nice drive-ways built through
the grounds, and encircling the
pretty lake; and these and other
improvements make the Springs
even more attractive tnan ever.
Literally it seemed that every

people. Cars were parked here,

THE SOCIAL
TEA
BY LorettO c. Lynch

WY z are, all Of us-hermits ex-

get together in groups. We like
social contact And when the
social contact is cut off. we suffer.
But we are too poor to enter
tain" complains the little house.
wife, who is struggling to make
ends meet. The idea Of entertain
ing, unfortunately, has carried
along with II the idea OF elabora-
ton. But-elaboration in enter
tanning Is not only unnecessary,
but 1t is not always In good taste
and the really worthwhile people
in the community do not go in for
elaborate entertainment. A little
entertaining of some kind, how
ever, is to be fostered.
A group OF young housewives
might entertain each other at in
tervals like. perhaps, once a month
at each others homes by giving
a social tea. A quarter pound of
tea provides about fifty cups Of
fair strength, while a pound of cof-
fee gives fifty cups Of the beverage.
II you entertain half a dozen In
stead Of fifty. the cost for the
drink is negligible.
To serve with the tea, sweet
crackers, cookies, small cuts OF
plain cake or tea biscuits spread
with jam are all appropriate.
A novel way to serve plain
pound cake Is to slice 1t into inch
thick slices and then cut each
slice into such forms as triangles
and SO on. These may be iced
with a simple icing and sprinkled
with chopped nuts. shredded cocoa
nut, grated orange rind or grated
bitter chocolate.
Besides or in place OF cakes, the
hostess will find little bread and
butter sandwiches. or lettuce may.
onnaise or just cream cheese and
jelly sandwiches in good taste.
1t Is not so much the refresh
ments, however, that make the
social tea a success. It is rather
the determination Of every woman
TO make the occasion a happy one
by wearing her best garments and
bringing along her most pleasant
mood.
