The action of President Wilson in
warning all citizens of the United
States now in Mexico to leave that
country and return home is generally
not approved by the press of the
country. The president makes it clear
that the government will hold Mexico
10 strict account for all the loss of life
or property of Americans in Mexico
but at the same time he warns them to
leave Mexico, and it is this particular
phase of his action that is not generally
approved. 1t is suggested that this
feature of the president 's'aetion threat.
ems great and lasting harm to the
National prestige Millions of Ameri.
can capital is invested in the legitimate
enterprises in Mexico and thousands
OF her citizens have gone there to en-.
gage in various pursuits fully believing
that this government would faithfully
discharge its obligations to them
guaranteed to them under treaties
and international law. NoW~comes the
announcement from the president to
leave Mexico, carrying with the an.
nouncement the suggestion that this
government is unwilling TO defend its
citizens across the border. We have
been taught to believe that our govern.
ment is amply able and will defend her
citizens in any cline, and this an.
nouncement may bring just a little
humiliation to those in foreign lands
who have felt this thrill of protection.
1t yet remains 10 be seen what effect
this policy will have on our citizens
abroad.

1t is very unusual girl who doesn't
like to have chat and cup of after
noon tea One girl friend who wishes
to have afternoon tea for two or three
friends viii find she has but the simp-
lest preparations to make. She will
set a small table in her sitting room,
placing a chair at it for herself, as she
viii poTr the tea Have a pretty fresh
linen cloth on the little table with
cups end saucers. little jug of cream,
one large enough, however. to prevent
the need OF redlling it, and a sugar
bowl with lump sugar. and sugar
tongs.
For the eatables have a plate of lit
tie sandwiches, or very, very thin
bread and butter, or tiny hot rolls,
split and buttered and brought in at
the last moment. Put a pretty wash
able doilie on the plates under the
cakes and sandwiches. Have a plate
of little cakes, or cake cut small
enough to be easily handled, and per-
haps a little dish of homemade candy.
That is always nice to end up with.
Bring in the teapot with freshly in
fused tea just when you are ready to
pour it. Have the tea cosy on the ia
BILE ready to slip over it. The linen
slip covers for cosies are nice, as they
are so easily Numbered White en-
broidered in white or color, or colored
linen worked in white is always pretty.
Be sure to have a supply of hot water,
in a brass hot water kettle, or in a
pretty jug if a brass kettle is not avail
able. Some people use, at afternoon
tea, very small plates, but they are
not seen as rule.
Now you have all your equipment
for a delightful little informal tea,
where just a few friends have gath
cred for chat and condolences Just
one thing may be added-a fern in a
fern jar, a small pretty plant, or some
cut flowers. This is the last touch TO
your tea table.
So now sit down and help your
guests. One OF the girls will pass the
cups and the plates of sandwiches and
cake to the friends seated about the
room. Another will see when the caps
need reflling, and will bring them to
you. It's a pleasant little time, this
five o'clock tea.
Just one more ggestion.-Perhaps
you will use just one end Of a large
table. Then have all the tea arrange
ments on a large tray, If'it is a tray
without a very attractive appearance
use a tray cloth. But perhaps it is one
of the WOODEN traps, with plate glass
covering a beautiful bit of cretonne
brocade or lace, and with brass han
dies, or it may be a hammered brass
tray, or, the most aristocratic of the
tray family, heavy silver one. that

SprinQ Dishes.

If you have nothing more unusual
than a dish of eggs and bacon do not
forget a touch of parsley and the
added charm of dish of rosy red rad
ishes, with their green heart leaves.
The tiny radishes should be crisp and
solid, suggesting the dewy freshness
of the garden. A few pieces of crys-
tai clear ice enhance their beauty.
Unless the radishes are to be used i'll
decorating a meat dish or salad, do
not cut them to represent flowers.
Simply trim them neatly. cutting off
the large leaves in the center. There
is a theory that these aid in the d.
gestion of the peppery little morsels.
At any rate they add contrasting
touch of color that satisfies the eye
and this has much to do with good
digestion
