FavOrS for Easter Luncheon

If Valentines Day is the season for
sentiment; and W~nshington's birthday
the opportunity for patriotism; surely
Easter is the time for sunshine.
Decorations for the Easter table,
whether the occasion be n wedding
breakfast, Il bridesmaids luncheon or
a children's holiday-Wgek party, should
suggest the gaietN. the freshness aud
of all the flowers, the glowing golden
daffodils and %jonquils seem best to
convey this idea. Pure white is also
appropriate for Easter time but the
dead white Annuncintion lilies and
lilies of the valley, beautiful and APP
propriate as these flowers undoubt-
eddy are to the season, have not the
springlike charm of tho golden jon
quils and daffodils and nothing Is
more delightful as an Easter table
decoration than yellow flowers in tall
vases of brass which emphasize the
golden note of sunshine struck by the
blossoms themselves.
If brass r~oceptacles are not avail
able, silver bowls or vases will be
charming, filled with yellow flowers;
or cut glaSa-or imitation cut glass
vases will answer ana beside the
golden yellow of the floral decoration
there should be no other color on the
table, the cleaning white napery and
shining s~ilVorWare being sufficient to
d further brightness and freshness
10 the decorative scheme. The real
sunshine at Easter time is so cheer
hui and bright hat it seems a pity
to draw shades and lunch by candle
light, but artificial light is now CON
stdered an Indispensable adjunct of
the fashionable feast at whatever time
OF day 1t may occur and alas! the sub
dued glow Of candlelight Is far more

In spite of Mexico's internal trou-
bles, it's capital, Mexico City, still
ranks as one of the most attractive
cities of North America. Few cites
of this western world compar in his
torieal interest and beauty of, setting
with this ancient capital of the Aztecs.
1t is situated amid the most beautiful
terrestrial scenes that it is possible
for the eye to contemplate. Or a
fableland in the valley of Mexico, it
Is entirely surrounded by mountains,
and among the first objects to attract
h eye, viewed from any point in the
city are. the lofty peaks of Popocatapet,
known as the smoking mountain
Mujer Blanca or 1.-THE woman in
white" These volcanoes are over 49,
900 and 1900 feet high, and they keep
majestic watch over the city.
In many respects the present Mexico
City with its beautiful parks and as
phalt streets resembles Paris. 1t is
an easy place to get around in, the
center of the city's busy life and also
of the fine electric street car system
being the Zocalo or Plaza Major, a
square surrounding or near which are
the cathedral, thieves market, munich
pal palace and large stores and street
booths. This park is an open air space
for the common people, and was the
heart of the fighting zone during the
late rebellion in the city. Strangers
usually locate themselves by this park,
for from it n car take an electric
car over an excellent system to any
part of the city or the numerous sub
urbs. The fare is five or ten cents
Mexican money, which is one half of
ours.
Recent estimates place seven thou
sand Americans in Mexico City, and
several times this many located in
various other parts of the country.
They are employed in every walk of
life. Some run stores, others are rail
ROAD employees or officials (moSt f
the high officials OH the railroads are
Americans), at least two good hotels
are. run by Americans, many are en-
gagged in large commercial undertake
ings, n for many years a factor in
the life of Mexico City has been the

Hanna, father of Dan r., spent near
" a lifetime in prosaic business and
then jumped into politics for a brief
seven years, during most of which
time he was recognized as the lead
ing public man in America. Like
wise the son, who is a good enough
business man to have increased con-
s~iderably his father's fortune, never
did himself Justice until he stood
up IN the presence of the assembled
of Portage county and said:

between his old and new surround

or course, some Of Hanna's neigh
hors pleaded inability to pay for good
roads. They felt too poor to stand in
creased taxes or special donations.
Farmer Hanna heard their complaints
but he also noticed that it often took
just as much effort to produce a poor
crop as a good one and he saw that a

SO he undertook not to give Por-
tagc county what it couldn't afford,
but to give Portage county the means
of affording what it needed. Fifty
thousand dollars of Hanna money was
subscribed for the purpose of making
he county more than a million dol
lars better off.

State aid is expected to bring the
total nearly to the million mark. No
one seems to doubt that better farm

the roads or that the roads will make
farms worth double what they are to-

When Farmer Hanna presides at
the association meetings he looks

tall and his shoulders suggest tussles
