Pink Sugar For A Pink Tea

At a pink tea the other day, in addition to the candle shades and flowers of that tint, lumps of pink and white rock candy were served with the beverage that cheers. To sweeten tea with rock candy is an English notion, and in its behalf the claim is made that it is a much purer form of saccharine than sugar. At the same tea, plates of small round cakes, covered with a thick, soft, icing, held, each of them, mounted on a pointed wooden toothpick, a tiny pink silk flag. Four large plates, piled evenly with tiers of these small cakes, each fluttering its tiny pennant, contributed a very pretty effect to the polished oak table upon which the light refreshments were set out.-
