EVE’S RAMBLINGS.
quMENT AND GOSSIP AMONG
THE WOMEN, BY ONE
OF THEM.
Extremely informal is the bicycle
tea. The women who live in the sub;
burbs, and who have been coming to
town all winter to entertainments, now
have their own innings.
They were too wise to offer to return
the invitations during the winter, be-
cause people grumble at being asked to
go out of town at that season; but now
is the time. to return such hospitalities.
The - h6stess decides upon a day and
dispatches her visiting cards with
“Bicycle Tea-”written or printed upon
them in one cOrner, together with the
date and hour decided upon.
Fine-o’clock is a good time. An
earliertllonr would be too soon for the
comfort oil‘the guests.
If'the daylsflne, try and": have the
tables for refreshments set'Out of doors,
if possible under shady trees; but if
this is not feasible, upon the piazza.
The'guests go indoors to refresh their
toilettes, but-they do- not expec‘t In, be!

The “up'Stai'rs dressing“ “room is all
that is necessary. If the weather is
fine the guests will not,enter the par-
lor, but come straight dOwn stairs out
of doors. .5. .Y 011-18811 safely robthe par-

Have-swell tables conveniently placed.
Manama}; chairs will be appreciated
now;.and. your hard-seated splint or
‘pprch rockers will be more comfort-
able if you set soft cushions on the
seats.
Have plenty-of ice; it is the chief
necessity; for if it is at all warm your
guests will be thirsty. Lemonade,
iced tea and apollinaris are delicious to
thirsty throats.
Lettuce sandwiches, “cocked hats’,
of brown bread (without crust,) spread
with plaite-de-foie-gras or .chicken
livers with truffles will do for sub-
atantials. Ice cream, crackers and
dainty cakes (“sand tarts” are favorites)
complete the bill of fare for the “Bi-
cycle- Tea” with the exception of the
Euro hot liquids—tea and chocolate.

Feminine Chat.
Pesture is the very axis of physical
comeliness.
One should give a gleam of happiness
wherever it is possible.
The surest criterion of a woman’s
happinessis her own belief in it.
It is absolutely true that friendship
must live by faith more than by sight.
The four-leafed clover design has ap-
peared on ribbon and is decidedly
pretty. _
Blue morocco belts with purses to
match are much favored by the sum-
mer girl. .
Do not measure your future self by
your .past one. Aim to secure a better
result.
The soldiers who come home on fur-
lough learn very soon the meaning of
the term hero worship.
A man may think, he is a. veritable
giant until he begins to struggle with
a ,car window-~then he changes his
mind.
The mildest woman, like the long-
aufiering worm, can turn, and when
shedoes she is the sternest disciplin-
arian in the world.
Be very sure that if you wear a
heavy frock when you, start away from
home in the morningit will clear 01f
blazing hot by noon.
It indicates a terrificamount'of nerve
to be able to show a. friend to whom
you owe money the new clothes , you
have lately been purchasing.
The country cook’s idea of epicurean
perfection is to cook meat until you are
in doubt whether it is anold shoe or a

Is there anything" more awful than
waking to a sense of awful depression _
morning after morning and realizing
that life with all its worriments has to
be faced ? -
The thin gown that abounds in tucks
and insertion is very lovely save when
worn in a blazing sun, at which time
the neck of the wearer is apt to re-
semble a steak that shows prints of the
broiler.
The newspaper woman who takes
up her residence in a country com-
munity must be prepared to be regard-
ed by the loungers at the village store
as something a little less weird than
at the Zoo.
