NEED NOT BE MUCH EXPENSE

Afternoon Tea Does Not Depend for Buccess on the Richness of the Refreshments Berved. It does not cost much_ to have a dosen or more friends in for a cup of tea. A well-appointed tea table with one girl to pour while the host- 1 ess makeß herself agreeable to her guests can be made very pleasant. Be Bure the tea is good, the sandwiches novel and delicious, and the cake home-made. That is all that need be served, though extra touches, like home-made candy of unusual kind, crisp buttered toast, or salted peanuts are inexpensive additions. If •the food is good it will apepal to palates. Two quarts of ice cream will serve a dozen guests if put in small glasses. This will not be more than one dollar. A delicious home-made cake will cost for material 60 cents or Icbs. Pbr candy One could make sea foam for the cost of two pounds of brown sugar, and four quarts of salted peanuts would be 26 cents more.-——-*- — -4Make your money go as far as you can. Get things that have a distinct use, and your guests will be pleased.
