| Show TO VARY TEA TABLES Methods of Relieving the Awful Sameness V After having dropped in at the houses of seven dear friends whose day is the same any woman might be forgiven for-given for solemnly vowing that nothing will ever again induce her to serve Russian tea and wafers The idea of those inevitable expressions of hospitality hospit-ality becomes nauseating after awhile And the woman who finally rebels and introduces something new and equally simple will find herself blessed among women V There is a certain coffeepot bar relshaped affair in copped which looks as picturesque as any tea kettle ever made and which allows the hostess to make the coffee in sight of her guests It is very delicious coffee too that is turned out of the oldlooking pot and it will be pretty sure to be cheerfully imbibed by the unhappy wretches who have been drinking tea for weeks Then a frequently replenished chocolate choco-late pot is another welcome substitute for the teakettle A big bowl of whipped whip-ped cream standing on the table will help make the drink more delicious In place of the tiresome wafers all sorts of little cakes and cookies may be substituted Most families have some favorite cooky which used once or twice will impart an individual flavor to the tea table Homemade bonbons salted almonds or peanuts will also serve occasionally to vary the sameness same-ness and tameness of the refreshments on the day at home Chicago Tribune |
