SIT-DOWN TEA
The back of the sit-down tea movement started by London hostesses recently is to reach its height this season. The china on the tea-tables will be in keeping. The Queen is using modern sets with square saucers and plates, one of her newest services having a primrose design introducing the graceful leaves as well as flowers. Pink hydrangeas cover, another flower teaset chosen by the Queen, which has a cake-dish and jam-pot to match. The Duchess of York has a jonquil tea-set in an Adam green with the flowers in white, which she uses in London on alternate days, her other tea-set being in peach and gold. A million pieces of china will be made with a special jubilee badge in readiness for next year. The designs are shortly to be submitted to the King and Queen, and the china itself is already being made.
