But sweet throughout his endless

The rose's fragrance breathes forever.

wonderfully toothsome sandwiches
and palatable confections, and from
tlnio to time crisp bon mots which
have had their inception over a cup
of tea at tho Longworth home find
their way into the current conversa

Mrs. William Sheffield Cowles,

sister to the President, holds her
own as a dispenser of the ever-cheering
cup, Mrs. Cowles, who has the
vivacity of a debutante, with the ex
perience of a woman of the world,
enjoys a great vogue for her quick
ness and cleverness and her ever
ready appreciation of a clover speech.
Some of the brightest wits of tho
capital frequent her home on the oc
casion of the dally tea hour, the pro
portion of men being a flattering tri

"Do away with tho C o'clock tea

a tasto of sugar.
Tho bread was cut In small squares
and each guest was regaled with a
platter of milk toast or, If she prefer

bread and butter, supplemented by
good, thick slices of Imglish plum

I'm sure there must be plenty if I

I've searched all sorts of plnces,
every likely sort of nook,
But, oh, It's awful hard to find a

I weep! I weep! I really have to weep
To think how scarco tho help Is and
how very hard to keep,
They do so very little and their wages
arc so steep.
It really Is no wonder that I weep,
A flat! 'A flat! Wo only havo a flat,
It makes tho work so easy and thie't
