ALL ROUND THE WORLD.
Truly, cur White Kihbon encircles the globe. Lately, a South African W'hite Hibboner visited Miss Anna Gordon at Rest Cottage, and a “World-ly” appearance was given to the dainty tea table. The plates used were decorated by a former Treasurer of the Australian W.C.T.U. The tea-pot is from China, the sugar bowl from Maine, the silver cream pitcher had been frequently used by Lady Carlisle, and was given to Rest Cottage by her daughter, Lady Cecilia Roberts. The tea cups are the gift of Lady Henry Somerset, the table doilies sent by Pundita Kamabai, of India. Flowers in a Japanese bowl adorn the table. The guest returns to her South African home, meets a lady of Scotch birth, tells her a story of the tea party, and is at once requested to send several lovely pieces of her own handwork—lace doilies, to be used at the next high tea in Rest Cottage.
