The Colonial Tea.
At the east end of the handsomely
decorated hell were two cookinviiing
clois'ters, hedged with stately palms and
flowering liydrangeas, and beautifully
arranged with fragrant flowers and arti-
cles of antiquity. in the one on the
right of the entrance were five tables at
which the colonial tea was served. A
massive Flemish piece, probably sever
al hundred years old, around which
burned tall tapers, occupied the center
of Mrs. B. M. Andrews' table. It was
filled With beautiful roses. The tea
service was of old English china. an
heirloom of the Hill family, handed
down from the Barlows. or”. the table
wasapewter milk pitcher which came
from President Adams' family, and is
probably two hundred years old. A
spoon bearing the initials “E. 8.," hand-
ed down to the fifth generation of Eben

family, Mrs. Hannah. Hill's ancestors,
were also shown with pride by” Mrs. An-

colonial times, was set with several
pleces'of blue china, over one hundred
yeareolil,and two candlesticks and ii
shutter of equal antiquity. The floral
decorations of the table were bachelor
buttons and yellow roses, the continental
colors. /
