Templeton asks, and Mabel — in whom the spirit of controversy is always strong when Mrs. Templeton is present — ac- cepts the challenge, and goes into action immediately. " Not at all difficult to imagine a time you must remember very well ; it's long since you were old enough to recollect all about it very well that this new-fangled fad has been introduced." " The woman who first made it the fashion deserves a statue; it ought to be erected in her honour by her grateful country-women." " It's ...a waste of time and of tea, and it's a nasty, idle, gossiping custom," Miss GifFord says, hotly. " What women want to be stuf- fing themselves for all day long I can't under- VOL III.

" Ethel says, brightly. " When they're better than new ones I am, most certainly ; late dinners and five o'clock teas are my abomination ; how servants stand it I can't think ; their work is never done, and instead of having nice long even- ings for needlework, they don't get dinner things cleared away and washed up till ten o'clock at night." "But people had suppers in those primitive days which you lament, when they dined at twelve, or one, or whatever time they did dine." " They didn't have three or four courses for supper ; and reasonable people, who had a proper regard for their own health and for their servants' comfort, were contented ' with cold suppers ; but these are disregarded now ; middle-class people must ape the ways of their betters, and turn their early dinners into luncheons, and their suppers into nasty Domestic Counsel.
