My
Wife's
Little
Tea
Parties.
My
wife
is
celebrated
for
her
little
parties,--not
tea
parties
alone,
but
dinner
parties,
pic-nic
parties,
music
parties,
supper
parties--in
fact,
she
is
vhe
life
and
soul
of
ALL
PARTIES,
which
is
more
than
any
leading
politician
of
the
day
can
boast.
But
her
great
forte
is
her
little
tea
parties--praised
and
enjoyed
by
everybody.
A
constant
visitor
at
these
little
parties
is
Mrs.
Hitching
(spoken
of
elsewhere),
and
before
a
certain
epoch
in
her
life
(See
par.
215)
she
was
wont
to
remark
that
she
"never
knew
hany
one
who
understood
the
hart
of
bringing
so
many
helegancies
together"
as
my
wife.
Nobody
makes
tea
like
her,
and
how
she
makes
it
she
will
impart
at
a
future
time.
But
for
her
little
"nick
nacks,"
as
she
calls
them,
which
give
a
variety
and
a
charm
to
the
tea-table
without
trenching
too
deeply
upon
our
own
pocket,
she
has
been
kind
enough
to
give
a
few
receipts
upon
the
present
occasion.
2092.
Good
Plum
Cake.
One
pound
of
flour,
quarter
of
a
pound
of
butter,
quarter
of
a
pound
of
sugar,
quarter
of
a
pound
of
currants,
three
eggs,
half
a
pint
of
milk,
and
a
small
teaspoonful
of
carbonate
of
soda
or
baking
powder.
The
above
is
excellent.
The
cakes
are
always
baked
in
a
common
earthen
flower-pot
saucer,
which
is
a
very
good
plan.

tablespoonful
of
hot
water.
