THE AFTKKNOON TEA. AN EASY V/AY TO REPAY SOCIAL
OBLIGATIONS.
■Ju>■) (1, 11,-nri Ilrowiif I>Ihcuhh«'m h 1’opuliir Form of KntortalniiiPtit Kor 1'er.on. of Mmlrratn Moan. Iletwpfln E.nnvhcau ami Dinner—A .Simple ami Ka.y Duty. | Special Correspondence.) New Yore, March 18.—It is 12 to 15 years sinco afternoou teas became a form of social eutertaiuraent in this country, In tho largur cities especially. They were at first called kettli^rnms or drunis, after the rather informal fuuctious given by the British army officers in India, in which tea was, as usual with the Britons, the principal and | most eagerly sought refreshment. What would become of tho British empire and constitution without tea? They were in tho beginning a new fad and fashion, but they were soon found to bo so convenient, so accommodating, so much more economical than evening parties of any kind, that they have become permanent and universal. They have succeeded and almost replaced the old evening receptions of tho earlier time. Afternoon teas have never, it is fair to infer, been wholly enjoyed by society —that is, by those representing tho great body of guests. Nor have they who play tho part of hostess been really attached to them, except for reasons purely practical. These reasons have grown in the last two years from the general dullness of business and tho .diminntion of incomes. ( onse'iiien ®y afternoon teas have increased and fastened themselves more firmly than ever on tho community. It seems doubtful now if their hold will ho reloastd in this generation by persons of moderate moans particularly. If not delightful, they aro comparatively frugal, and frugality must always he liked in secret by a groat many persons who pretend to bo far better off than thoy are for the sake of making some figure in society. Any one afflicted with social ambition who has not ample means is apt to bo tempted to appear otherwise, since society and poverty aro as incompatible as reason and superstition. Society in any strict sense means financial profusion, if not prodigality, so that afternoon teas, which aro very seldom profuse and very seldom assume to be, are necessarily a kind of social pinchbeck. The undoubted rich do not affect them, because they have no need to, and because they usually desire to bo ostentatious, at least to furnish substantial evidence of their riches. Afternoon teas have never materially altered since their introduction hero. Tiny generally last now, as they did at iirst, from 4 to 7 o’clock, and the hour is named on the card of invitation. Tho tea, being held between luncheon and dinner, lias no need, offers no pretext, for anything more than very simple refreshments, such as tea, coffee or chocolate, lemonade, cake, ices and the like. Even these, when taken however lightly, often blunt tho appetite for dinner and sometimes, if more than tasted, spoil it entirely. Men who set store by and take pleasure in that meal commonly shun the refreshment table altogether and are annoyed by importunities of tho hostess or her assistants to violate tho rule. They even make the liability to do so a serious objection to attending a tea under any circumstances. Many men —most of them, in truth—resolutely stay away, ridiculing and abusing it roundly. They call it “water gruel reception,” “Sunday school party,” “old ladies’ festival,” “Puritanic jollity,’’ “skimmilk function,” “Quaker feast,” “anxious meeting,” with other rovilements. Nevertheless some men go, though they are ever in a conspicuous minority, and there are those, candor compels me to say, who pretend to like it. As lias been said in another article, the bulk of men do not like society, positively dislike it indeed, though they share in it because their feminine kindred persuade them to. And then they recognize tho impropriety of women going out alone. But women do not need any escort to a tea, which generally occurs during daylight, and their natural protectors do nut seem impolite or ungallant in not accompanying them. Many a husband and a father, therefore, praises teas without stint; thinks them beneficial, interesting, delightful; hopes that in time they will supersede every other form of social entertainment, etc., for no other reason than that ho keeps clear of them Who has not heard men say they would bo rejoiced if Bucieiy might bo carried on by
one sox alone?
Tho dutiis to bo discharged at a tea are very slight and need occupy very little time. All ono needs do is to greet tho hostess and h< r husband, if ho he uli vo or present, walkthrough tlio drawing roipn, bowing to such acquaintances or friends ns t no may find, decline refreshments if offered, take leave of tho bo-'tess and depart. Most guestsdo more than this, to bo sure, but more is not enjoined. They stand around, prattle, gi - -ip, exchange insincere, meaningless compliments, drii#: a cup of tea, nil/bio a biscuit, peiiiapa swaiiow an icu and then betake themselves to dinner. Few remain la youd an hour at furthest; most of them not beyond half an hour; some but Hi or 15 minutes. At a largo tea they come and go continually. It J is remarkable how many may bo invited without suffocation. The rooms aro packed at intervals, but they are speedily relieved; the pressure is never long. A tea is given so that social obligations may bo discharged at small cost. An ordinary house will accommodato several hundreds in three hours when they could not get into an evening reception simultaneously. This is ono of its greatest advantages and its chief excuse for being. Nobody need he excessively bored at a tea, and tho reason men detest it is that it claims to represent society, commonly odious to tho iJcuius Henri Browne.
NEW LIGHT ON AN OLD STORY. | PRACTICAL APRONS.
The Ileal Facta of the Duke of Sutherland's Democratic Marriage. [Special Correspondence.] Clear Water Harbor, Fla., March 18.—Not less beautiful than the bay of Naples is Clear Water harbor, holding in its embrace tho blue waters of tho gulf of Mexico, whoso coming and going leave a level beach of pure whito
sand.
One can walk a few rods from his front porch, catch a fine bass, and then from his back porch pluck tho lemon With which to dress it or sit under his own vino and fig tree and eat oranges, pineapples and bananas from his own groves. A few miles distant is Dunedon, in whoso primitive little church tho Duko of Sutherland's marriage with Mrs. Blair was celebrated some years ago and caused a nino days’ talk in tho town. There aro always more or less excitement and romance connected with a wedding, particularly a country wedding, for there it breaks in upon tho half dead and alive stagnation, stimnlates conversation and gossip and gives a sort of impetus to things in general. Tho Duko of Sutherland had been a royal target for criticism over since his arrival in tho Land of Flowers. Unsavory tales had floated across tho waters about him. It was publicly stated, notwithstanding Ids royal connections, that he was taking a prolonged holiday from his domostio virtues, and it was known that in his solitudo ho had a friend “to whom to whisper solitudo is sweet. ’ ’ If ono wished to hide himself or his belongings from tho world, never was thoro a better spot in which to do it than Duneden. It is a place which seems to have strayed away from civilization, with no manifest desiro to return within its fold. It is the last place in tho world that ono would select as u ducal tryst, but such it was. Tho littlo church of Dunedon is ono of the least pretentious of its kind. Its rector at that time was an Englishman, tho Rev. Mr. Noel. He was about to marry a uieco of Canon Farrar, and Bishop Wood had arrived to perform the ceremony, which was to bo that of the Church of England. Thu church had been beautifully dressed with flowers by the congregation. These decorations wero in honor of tho rector’s wedding, not the Duko of Sutherland’s. Tho duko had asked tho rector to perform the marriage ceremony for him; but, apart from couseientious scruples in tho clerical breast, he declined on the ground of his own marriage, saying, however, that he would “speak to the bishop about it, and perhaps ho would marry them.” The bishop was approached upon tho subject. Ho first looked grave and thoughtful, walked up and down tho room two or three times and thou said: “I will do it if I can legalize this affair. It is my duty to do it.” Ho probably saw that it was a case in which Christianity could nut ho packed in any sot of commandments. People had come from far and near to see the ministtr married—men, women and children in ox carts, women on horseback, with children up behind them, and some with babies in their arms, men in their shirt sleeves and boys with their school satchels slung over their bucks. It was ns heterogeneous a mass as evi r ono sees at a country circus. The minister’s marriage was first celebrated; but, tbo other event having become noised abroad, the congregation remained as uninvited spectators. As tho ducal party, consisting of tho duke, Mrs. Blair, her daughter and governess, arrived, tho littlo, wheezy organ piped out the “Wedding March,” but it was difficult at times to tell whether "Lohengrin” or “Yankee Doodle” was ahead. The choir then attempted a vocal demonstration. It sounded for all tho world like a chorus of bumblebees, or “dirt daubers,” as the sand flappers call them. Finally this comical prologue ceased its divertisemeut, and tho ducal party entered, preceded by a carroty haired girl, Miss Blair, the daughter of tho bride. The bride wore a very much soiled white silk gown, but atonement was made for this by tho profusion of diamonds displayed. These were supposed to bo the Sutherland jewels and wero really quite handsome. Tho service was frequently interrupted by the squalls of infants, who in some instances were soundly slapped by their parents and in others consoled with maternal nourish-
ment.
Tho ceremony over, tho happy pair marched down tho aislo to tho same cla«“ic:ii mn«io The nose <>f the bride j had a little more high bred tilt, and her | head a more ducal pose than when she i entered the church, owing, presumably, to tim facs that slio now had the name as well as the game. At tho church door they entered a conveyance, which, for tiie want <f another name, I will call a nondescript. It was a cross between a buggy and a box on wheels. The animals attached to the nondescript wero quite as unique in their lino. Thoy wero marsh lackeys of tho lowest order, their man sand tails matted with cockle burs and tin tr coats unfamiliar with a curry comb. The lordly manner in which the duko handled tho reins, however, jolt the impression that ho was accustomed to better horseflesh and looked upon the present situation merely ns a flit of life to bo taken cn passant. As uu fait nceoiupli the wedding was unique, but as a royal function it was a disappointment. Someone, doubtless in the pay of the duko or duchess, wrote a glowing account of tho affair to tho papers, investing it with all tlio glamour of a royal marriage, but tho above is from an eyewitness. Tim subsi quent career of tho ducal pair is well known, tho death of the duke, the burning of tho papers fly the duchess and her imprisonment inconsequence, etc. The quiet wedding in the quaint littlo Duneden church wms probably one of tho most restful events in the eventful lives of these two people.

The broad full apron is made of ono straight breadth of soft double width black lasting, plainly hemmed by hand, and gathered to reach well around to tho back at the waist Tlio shoulder knots and bow for the pocket are of black ribhou, and tho belt, which may bo of ribbon or lasting, terminates in wider black ribbon ties which aro knotted at the back.
