SUNBEAMS.
The sunbeams creep through latticed bars
And o’er my oaken floor,
These golden lances reach to me.
The breezes with soft footsteps
Glide through my open door,
My guests to be.
These wander to and fro at will.
The ticking of the clock,
Grown dim with age, disturbs them not,
They often cross my window sill,
They never fail to knock
At my low cot.
It mattersnot uncarpeted
The threshold is, and bare,
Their whisperings are low and sweet,
They fan and cool my fevered cheek,
And sunbeams gild each faded chair
And window seat.
It matters not that ivy twines
In place of costly bands
Above my curtains, thin and white.
Where sunbeams fall, where breezes soft
Caress the tired hands,
Toil Beemeth light.

LILIAN McILVAIN TELLS HOW
TO GIVE A TEA.
dear, you look so troubled.
What is it! Surely Tommy has
cut bi® last tooth,” said Miss
6 Lilian Mell vain to her friend,
Mrs. John Kane, as they sat sewing and
chatting in the latter’s pretty sitting room
one bright winter morning.
“Yes, Tommy is all right—sweet boy,”
answered Nora ; “but lam worried about
something. John told me to-day that his
friends, the Whelans, would be here next
week for a short visit, and that I must
give them a tea party.”
“And you don’t want the bother ?”
queried Lilian sympathetically.
“No, I don’t; but not only that, it is
hard to decide whom to invite, for our
dining room is small, and I owe lots of tea
parties. Really, since Tommy was born I
have had no one here in the evenings.
Now, if I ask the Browns and the Greys,
the Smiths and the Thompsons will feel
cut; or should I reverse things, the result
would be the same ; I am sure to offend
some one.”
“Easily settled,” cried Lilian, eagerly,
“give a tea, not a tea-party, and invite ev
erybody.”
“Why, what do you mean by a tea ?
You have just come from Baltimore and
are acquainted with the ‘smart set,’ as the
English say. But, remember, we live in
a small village, and such goings on would
startle the natives.”
“Nonsense,” argued Lilian, “really, it is
time they were startled; joking aside,
Nora, why should we work ourselves to
death over a hot supper, and then only
make enemies, when a simple, afternoon
tea will be a novelty, comparatively little
trouble, and no one need be left out. Be
sides, it is cheaper in the end. Do try it.”
“Well,” said Nora, with awakening in
terest, “if I knew how to go about it I
would be tempted, for, as you say, a hot
supper is troublesome, expensive, and in
variably gives offense. Tell me just what
to do, and how to arrange things.”
“Begin at the beginning, as the children
say,” quoted Lilian. “In the first place,
write an informal note to each person,
such as this :
Dear Mrs.
Will you’and your husband take afternoon tea
with us at four o’clock Thursday, to meet Mr.
and Mrs. Whelan from Philadelphia ?
Cordially yours,
Nora Kane.
That is the idea ; or, if you like, you can
word each note differently.
“Delightful,” declared Nora; “what
next?”
“You must have two or three tables in
your parlor, for you need not use the din
ing room at all. Cover each table with
one of your pretty embroidered linen
cloths, or a large, fine napkin. Put one
of them in a corner near the fire-place,
and the others a little further off. One
would look well near the window. On the
first table have your brass kettle, with its
alcohol lamp ready for use, your little sil
ver cream pitcher and sugar bowl, and
your Japanese tea pot; also put on five or
six of your daintiest cups, and have near
them slices of lemon, with some extra tea
in a small caddy.”
“I suppose the lemon is for the Russian
tea, which is so fashionable?” inquired
Nora, now quite delighted with Lilian’s
directions.
“Yes, of course ; on the next table, what
can be nicer than Maryland biscuits, made
into sandwiches with potted ham or
tongue ; or, if you don’t mind being slight
ly extravagant, pate-de-foi-gras can be
gotten at the grocer’s, and is simply deli
cious when spread on the biscuits. Then
you might have thin ginger cakes, or jum
bles; or, if you like, one of your nice lady
cakes with hickory nuts in the icing. This
fibrous material,
the secret for mak
ing which is
known only to
those clever arti
sans, and they
jealously
guard the se
cret, so that thesa
goods cannot be
made by any
American manu
facturer. Bach

WOMAN’S WORK.
I would cut in small slices. On two or
three glass dishes I would have different
kinds of bon-bons. Your nut candy would
be good, or some of your lovely caramels,
and don’t forget to buy some large, old
fashioned mint drops—they are quite a
‘fad’ ata tea now. Then, if you have room
on this table, you could put on some fancy
plates, doylies, and anything pretty in the
way of odd spoons or small pieces of sil
ver. On your third table have extra
plates, cups, &c., and on each I would
have a few flowers in china vase or glass
bowls, as nothing adds so much to the
beauty of these things as flowers scattered
carelessly about.
“Oh, how easy it sounds.” exclaimed
Nora, now deep in the spirit of this (to
her) new entertainment. “But what
about the colored teas I have heard of so
often; how are they managed?”
“Nothing more simple,” continued Lil
ian ; “get a dozen or so of large pink roses,
and place a few on each table; use your
pink china as far as it will go, with your
tray cloths worked in pink—which I know
you have; add a plate of small ‘lady fin
gers’ cakes, and tie them in bundles with
narrow pink ribbons. Put on each table
one of your fancy candlesticks with a pink
candle, and shade your lamps with pink
paper. Then suppose you have pink icing
on your lady cake, and some ribbon can
dy in that shade, or buy some pink al
monds. If you like, a bow on your kettle
and on any high dish would not be a
bad idea. But sometimes there is danger
of overdoing it by having too many fur
belows; so, judge the effect as you arrange
the room and the tables,” continued this
wise instructor.
“I am going to try it, and you must
help me. But,is tea enough, or would you
have chocolate as well, with whipped

BEAUTY IS BUT SKIN DEEP
Will Your Face Bear Close Inspection?
Get a Hand Mirror and take a good look at yourself. Your features may be perfect and your
form all that anyone could ask, yet you are not pretty when your face is covered with Freckles
and Pimples, or disgusting “Flesh Worms” and Black Heads. There is no good reason why your
skin should not be as soft and white as a Baby’s. It was that way
When You Came Into The World,
And would be so now if you had taken care of it. Freckle discolorations are buried under the
skin, and to be removed, the skin must be softened, the pores opened up, when these unsightly
secretions will exude through the skin and disappear.
What is true of Freckles, is also true of Black Heads, Flesh Wormsand Pimples. It is only
necessary to open up the channels of Perspiration, when nature throws off all Skin Imperfections,
and a lovely complexion is the result.
Every year hundreds of dollars are paid out for blood medicines by persons whose faces are
covered with pimples. If these people stopped to consider, would they not know that these pim
ples do not come from imperfections of the blood? If the blood caused them, would not the
whole body be covered with similar pimples, as the blood courses with equal force overthe whole
system? Do they not know that the trouble is only a local one, and must be treated locally if
they would be cured ?
Does not common sense tell them that the pores of the face have been clogged up—that when
the skin is hard and stagnant, that these small masses of corruption must be the result?
Madam De Pompadour’s Lanolate of Roses
is nature’s own remedy for skin imperfections. It does not cover up and gloss over, but strikes at
the root of the disease and dispels it. It is put up in china cases, presents an attractive appear
ance, and is really delightful to use. It softens the skin, when the pores open up naturally, and all
imperfections disappear.

cream ?”
“Interested motives alone would make
me say chocolate, by all means. It is a
good plan. I will pour out the tea; have
the chocolate and cream on the last table,
and get Nellie Brown to serve it.”
‘ Every suggestion will be literally fol
lowed,” assured Nora, “and I long to get
out my invitations for the first ‘tea’ given
in Sleepy Hollow; so you must help write
my notes for this easy way of entertaining.
