on such a pinnacle. 1t seems rather
cruel TO recall the circumstances of his
divorce from his first wife. She, il
seems, was compelled to ask for a d-
vorce from her erratic but gifted hus-
band on account of his SoingS-on with
this same wonderful Alice. WHO had
sued Mr.. Hubbard for the support Of
a child of whom he was the father. Il
| seems strange t1lat he should have
| treated such paragon in so shabby a
way, and the knowledge of this mat
ter rather spoils the effect of his little
book.
Mrs. Rryce. the charming, gracious
wife of the English ambassador James
Rryce, tells us how to make q good cup
OF tea. To those of her friends fortu-
nate enough to be received informally
! in the cosy little room where Mrs.
| Eryce gracefully dispcnsos afternoon
tea. she displays her most attractive
qualities. Her tea table IS Immaculate
with the finest of Irish linen, fashioned
| in wreathes and medalions of lace, the
silver and other accessories are all os
: the richest. but there IS nothing un-
necessary or purely ornamental to be
seen upon it Like most English wo-
men Mrs Bryce has made Il study of how
to brew good cup Of tea. and has de-
cided opinions on the subject. She does
not think Americans make a good cup,
I nor do We any of us think so for that
matter. The tea found in all public
! places or in most houses in America is
atrocious. Mrs. Bryce says in the first
place you must have good tea. The best
! is expensive, Cf course but if YOU want
a really delicious cup of tea you must
buy the very best brand. Then the tea
should he kept carefully in sealed jars
in bright, airy places. When one goes
TO make a cup of tea she must first fill
the pot with boiling water and allow it
to stand until it is thoroly warmed
thru. English women with a rcputa-
ton for making good tea boil the
water II the table. and just when it be
gins TO bubble they pour it upon the
tea iii the heated pot and serve at once.
She says this is the great secret of
good tea. There is all the difference in
the world in tea made with water
which has boiled and boiled and tea
made with water used just ut the boil
ing point. This, and serving the tea at
once, before the tanic acid has been eX-
tracted by standing, is really all there
is to making 4 delicious cup of tea, pro-
Vided of course, your tea Is of the best
quality.
The Rev. DR.. Charles +. Aked, who
recently gave up his chruch in Ply
mouth, Eng, to assume charge of the
fashionable Fifth Avenue Church of
New York City-John ID. Rockefeller's
church-made application for first citi-
Zen's papers the other day. Altho there
are great many Englishmen living in
this country, engaged in business here
comparatively few of them become
citizens of the United States. Irishmen
and Scotsmen do, but Englishmen rare
ly. This was particularly noticeable at
the time of our civil war, when the
Englishmen living in the country has
tened to show that they had not taken
out papers for citizenship in order to
escape military duty. DR.. Akcd stood
up like a man the other day renounc-
ing his allegiance to King Edward. and
swearing future fidelity to Uncle Sam.
He was surprised to see such Il line of
applicants like himself, which number
ed fully 100, and when he asked if such
large number was not rather unusual
was amazed to be told that there were
frequently as many az 800 daily
knocking at the door of citizenship. 1t
takes a foreigner some time to grasp
the idea of the big scale on which we
do business in this country.
Curiosity to see the supposed richest
man in the world drew an immense

Chicago, July C, where after some diff

Long before the expected hour of the
