If there were any ladies at the Japanese legation, this pleasant information from Harpee’s Bazar would probably be true; but Minister Kurino’s home owes none of its attractions to the gentler sex: “The native ladies of the Japanese lega- tion in Washington are,a most polite and friendly coterie, and hospitable to a de- gree, with quaint and gentle manners, Scmetimes at their afternoon entertain- ments they serve tea grown in their own gardens in their own far-away land, the tea being gathered, dried and brought or sent to this country. These kindly foreign- ers have their particular mode of brewing their favorite beverage. From a kettle of boiling water they pour into an earthen or china teapot enough to heat the pot thor- oughly; then they empty out the water and put in the tea, over which they pour boil- ing water, let stand for five minutes, and serve. The teapot must not touch the stove. A little tea-cozy of Japanese paper is clapped over the teapot the moment the water is poured on, and a delicious cup of tea is thus secured without having extract- ed the injurious ingredient—the tannin. The Japanese are very generous with their ma- terial, twice as much tea as the Americans to the same quantity of water.” Miss Kauffmann gave a tea Saturday, which brought together her young friends ‘a @ most cordial and it_ way.
