Of cattle to Cuba, there being several
steamers engaged exclusively in that
trade. Large numbers of cattle are
also sent to Europe, and the cattle
shippers OF this section OF Mexico

For "the Cup That Cheers"

Afternoon tea is now an established
and welcome custom in most house
holds, and there are many welcome
additions to the cup that transforms it
so that the visitor often asks, What
is it,"
One hostess uses arrack another
green mint cherries with bit of rock
candy for sweetening, another places
four whole cloves in each cup, rum and
thin slices of pineapple is the embel-
lishment given by another. Half claret
and half tea is the fayorite formula
of a little southern woman renowned
for mixtures.
The dainty Japanese waters to be
found in the delicatessen shops are
Just the thing to serve and are the
very latest caper. If the hostess pos
sesses a set of gold medallion Canton
the teapot in it's coy basket, if she
passes candied ginger on quaint
Imari plate and burns the best orien,
tai incense in bronze burner she is
doing quite the most up-to-date thing
and her teas" will be noted in her
community.
Just at present there is copying OF
the ways and customs of our oriental
neighbors; fashionable society, both
men and women, are talking OF
scarabs, things Egyptian and things
Chinese, but that is another story
Only ask young miss what she most
wishes. aand IL / mistake not she will
reply, "A Chinese mandarin's coat OF
a gorgeous silk embroidered kimona.'

Handmade Things for Baby

the models pictured, but when lace
is required as trimming, only the fin
est should be used. If the real valen-
ciennes is too expensive, even for
simple neck and wrist frills, select a
good imitation valenciennes, but
coarse lace should always be avoided.
fhe little sack pictured was of fine
white flannel, buttonholed and en-
broidered daintily by hand in pale
pink silk.
A new variation in baby caps is
shown in the drawing, the little bon
net having turn-back flaps, edged and
frilled about with lace. Where hand
embroidery is too difficult or tedious
for the average seamstress little
handrun tucks, herringbone stitchery,
rolled edges and seams set together
by hand with entredeuX, all help to
give even the simplest little garment
daintiness and distinction. No lace
need be used in trimming or else
merely a narrow frill about the neck
and sleeves.
