Take Time Out for Tea
By Dorothy Murray

One of the incest ways to re-
pay your social debts is to give
a small tea for intimate groups
instead of the usual large cock
tail and buffet parties. This is
brilliant idea, especially If you
live in an apartment, small
home or If the fipances are lin
tied. A new bride and groom
will find it an exceptionally fine
way of entertaining the people
who gave parties for them be-
fore their wedding.
A card table or a small Dun
can Phyfe table would serve for
your basic arrangement. You
could use those attractive and
popular translucent place mats
which are decorated with gay
flowers or birds and which may
be secured at a small cost. They
go well with any type of service,
but the new streamlined china
tea sets similar to the one pic
tured will add color and charm
to your setting. If you are in
the market for a new tea set
we might mention that several
local shops have lovely ones in
pale blue, pink, yellow and, of
course, white.
A large clear glass dish, pref
erably Of the lazy Susan" type
could be placed conveniently in
the center of the table around
which you may arrange sand
wiches. cakes and tempting cold
cuts. Different styles of small
flower holders can be set nicely
in the center of the dish. For
instance. a clear, hollow crystal
ball with a fiat base can be the
nucleus Of any number of in
teresting patterns and floral de-
signs. A small cornucopia is an
other type of holder that affords
a variety of arrangements of
spring flowers, The ideal blooms
for these particular containers
are sweet peas, jonQuils. pansies.
snapdragonS. short-stemmed car
nations and dwarf iris. They
could be used separately, or you
may combine two or more for
mixed color.
Your fiat silverware adds
beauty to the table and to keep
everything unified place the fruit
slices or added delicacies on glass
or silver trays.
Individual salt dishes of silver
may be used on this occasion.
In fact. they probably would be
much better than the regular
shakers as they take up less
room. Although at a party OF

serve as a convenient reminder
of the tendency to overeat. The

sugar and possibly a pastry of
wheat flour. although containing
too many calories, is inadequate
from a standpoint of a we'll
balanced nutritional diet.
Some of the supplemented
foods such as milk. eggs, fruits

An egg may be substituted for
