Serving Tea, a Gracious Custom
| Sitting in front of the fireplace in the family home at 535 Wisconsin Avenue are Mrs. Lucien (Mary) Hanks, her daughter and two friends. They are (left to right): daughter, Sybil; Mary Hank; Elsie Moore, and Mrs. Thomas Priesley. A silver tea set on a small table is standing between them in the living room. The tea service has been used daily by the family for nearly 70 years. The photograph accompanies a newspaper article about the custom of serving tea daily at 4:00 pm every day with family and friends dropping in. |
