WHIMS AND PADS OF TEA DRINKERS

with a cosy. The old fashioned cosy like a hood, is much in use, but a daintier accessory for the af- ternoon tea table is one of the wick CT affairs lined with padded Jap anese silk. These come in sizes to fit almost any pot
 There are also attractive tea cad dies made of filet lace mounted over silk, and padded heavily under the silk. Pink is the color usually of the silk, but any desired color can be used to match the other fittings of the tea table.
 Covers for plates of cakes and sandwiches also are made of filet lace, mounted on wire frames to give them the proper form. Some are square, some round and dome like, and they are made in various sizes. For refreshments served on the lawn or veranda these lace GOV CTS are most useful, for they pro- tect the cakes or sandwiches or bis cults under them from flies and dust.
 In tea carts there are offered some dainty wagons better suited to boudoirs then drawing rooms. They are of French rattan in the natural color. They can be secured in pale blue, pale pink, light green and pale yellow. to match boudoirs decorated in such tints. The top has a glass tray effect and on the lower shelf are three compartments for the cakes, crackers, etc, separated by rattan railings.
 For the drawing room the inlaid mahogany tea cart remains in favor, and to cover the top of these ex- travagant pieces of furniture come the most exquisite of open work doilies, the better to show off the ! beauties of the mosaic work.
 For tables from which tea is to be served at a large afternoon func- tion the new table covers are rather small, made to fit just inside the edge of both round and square ta bles They are inset with lace or | open work and embroidered by hand in Oriental colorings.

The following, from a New York correspondent, gives some interest ing details of new china, teapots, etc, used at afternoon teas:
 An attractive offering is the broad, low, shallow teacup, which has en- tirely superseded the slender, high cups once associated with the tea service. These new cups are as broad ordinary family coffee cup, and not more than an inch or two inches in height They are prettiest in the eggshell patterns, with the exceed ingly fine and translucent lining. Wedgewood is also popular
 For use with these cups comes a new spoon, almost as small as an after dinner coffee spoon. In fact, if the hostess selects her cups carefully she can employ the small spoons she already uses for the demi- tasse. For many years the vogue has been for collection of odd and widely different teacups, but now the demand is for complete sets.
 An interesting fancy in teapots is of Satsuma ware, which looks like inlaid work. depicting tiny Japanese scenes. The pot is small with a flat bowl, and has spout six inch es in length, which is longer than the teapot itself.
 The perfectly equipped table boasts of two teapots, the one in which the tea is brewed and the one from which it is served. A "taster," whose word is law in importing circles, says that the true taste of tea is lost after it has been brewed four minutes At the end of this time the only flavor noticeable is the bit terness of tannin, the dangerous quality in tea. Hence the secret of making a delicately favored tea is to serve it after it has been brewed but a minute or two.
 When large number of persons must be served in rapid succession, the tea should be brewed in one pot, permitted to stand two or three minutes, and then poured through a china-not a metal strainer- into the second pot. Both pots must be steaming hot before they are used In warm weather cosy is not needed, but in winter the second teapot, or that from which the bever. age is served, should be covered

The Farmers Appreciation
the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: take the liberty of asking you
il you will do me the great kindness 70
place on record with the general public,
through the medium Of your valued
paper. long the favorite of the farmers,
the unanimous appreciation OF all
darymen Of the great and victorious
efforts of their true-blue friend, John
J. Dillon, Commissioner of Foods and
Markets. The farmers well understand
the storm of criticism, of obstacles and
temptations which hurled itself against
him. They feel, also, that the people
OF the City OF New York will in time
come to realize that through his ef-
fort 10 break the milk trust he stood as
their champion as we'll as the friend OF
the farmers.
As for the gratitude of the farmers
10 the man who has so greatly helped
to better their conditions and to raise
them from position in which they
we're the butt for ridicule-as for he
farmers gratitude, | say, should MI
Dillon ever be in a position TO need
help Of any nature which the farmers
could render, then and then only could
their gratitude be adequately shown.

Make Child Deserters Pay

There is every reason why New
York City should get after its child
deserters and, where possible, make
them pay. The proposal made by
the subcommittee of the Board of
Estimate considering the budget,
which is to try a new bureau in the
Department of Charities for this
especial purpose, is one which COM
mends itself to common sense. This
bureau may be conducted for six
months-the proposed trial period
at small cost. To judge by the re-
suits of the investigation carried on
by Commissioner Of Accounts Wall
stein, it ought TO pay for itself many
times over in that period by reliev-
ing the city of the cost of DEEPEN
dents.
According to figures compiled by
Mr.. Wallstein from the records of
the Charities Department, this city
now pays more than 100000 year
to care for children abandoned by
one or both parents. Moreover, the
records show a constantly increasing
tendency deliberately to abandon off
spring. This is not always due to
economic pressure, for, following up
fifty-three cases selected at random,
Mr.. Wallstein found that delinquent
parents "in a reasonable proportion
Of cases" can be compelled to con-
tribute to the support of their chill
dren.
If any of these child deserters can
pay for the youngsters they have
left to the care of charity, they as
suredly should be made to do so.
Obviously they will not do it unless
pressure is exerted. To put suffi-
cient pressure on them, special
agencies of government become nee
essary. Mr.. Wallstein says the laws
at present on the statute books are
adequate. What seems to be re-
quired is somebody to follow up the
individual cases, get at the facts and
set the laws machinery in motion
where the child deserter doesn't pro-
duce the cash necessary to support
his child. The proposal of the bud
get subcommittee is well worth
/ trial.

"Mr. Wilson's Wars"

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: As to your editorial WILSON'S
Wars" you are quite wrong re Hayti.
Mr.. Wilson did not make war to I'M
nose our protectorate on Hayti." The
armed forces were used to rid Hayti
of a gang of irresponsible scoundrels
called "cacos," and he has rid the
Haytian people of this gang. Many
letters that ! have received from Hay
tan merchants convey the same story,
1--WE are now, at last, on the way to
progress and order"
The cities and towns are now being
cleaned up as they never were before
and the American officials are held in
high esteem by all the people down
there. For once you are "of your
trolley" All the mud that you can
sling at Mr.. Wilson will not deter me
and many others from voting for Mr..
Wilson. TAKE A TIP.

in fact made war-that he had not
kept us out of war so far as the Re-

trenchermanship. 1t would be very
much like the confusion of the CEN

Every mother knows that bread
butter, milk and sugar supply the
greater part of a child's nutritlve

her practical answer to the question
ready long before the laboratory

tifc language, but it reaches the
root of the matter none the less.

Why Are Boys Hungry?

We all know that they are, that
they ought to be, and that when
they are not there is something the
matter with them. And as man en-
braces woman, so does boy include
girl in this general proposition.
There is Willie Baxter's sister Jane,
in Seventeen" who spends her
waking hours eating bread and but
ter sprinkled with sugar; and when
she ventures abroad on adventure
tent, away from the maternal base
of supplies, she never fails to pro-
vide against the danger Of starva-
ton with a cracker or two in her
capacious pocket. For the matter
cf that, Willie himself finds forget
fitness of his love pangs in the
qualification of his glorious boyish
hunger.
Why bother about the why Of il?
The danger of under-nutrition?
That is a matter of the past where
food is plentiful. Parents have
learned the wisdom Of letting their
children eat all they want of whole
some, simple food. And what avails
n knowledge of the why where the
food itself is lacking? The desti-
tute know we'll enough when their
children are underfed. And their
answer TO the question is not a
chemical but an economic one.
However, it has now been an
swered with the aid of a respira-
ton calorimeter in a pathological
laboratory. The basal requirements

CHE KEPT US OUT OF WAR"
Contrast of the Democratic Slogan
with Facts

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: As Progressive who was
delegate to the Chicago convention,
have been studying the position of Mr.
Wilson to see if / couldn't vote for
him, as some Progressives seem to feel
that he has put through progressive
legislation. To begin with, / took the
chief slogan the Democrats are using;
"He kept US out Of war; and the fol-
lowing Is what | arrive at:
Mr.. Cleveland kept us out Of war.
Mr.. Roosevelt kept US out Of war
Both had the opportunity with ma
tions not then occupied with wars Of
their own. Both left us respected by
the nations we had trouble with, and,
what is more, every American citizen
respected himself and was glad he was
an American. To-day many Of US are
ashamed Of our country's world posi-
ton.
Mr.. Taft kept US out Of war.
During his administration Mexico
was in revolution, but both sides re-
spected our citizens and neither muir
CeIeO US. NoHIidsb IHS 'oSN
years!
Mr.. Wilson kept us out of war;
but
He told the nations he was too
proud to fight" He went to war two
or three times with Mexico, and each
time left us with less self-respect and
with less respect from other nations
and with nothing accomplished. If we
look matters right in their face we
are ashamed of our country's chief ad-
ministrator.
Our future peace depends on this
election.
1t is the most important issue since
the time Of Lincoln-Hughes and
strong peace or Wilson and weakness
that will surely lead us to war.
The world looks on and is saying:
"Will the citizens of the United
States stand for the position this Ad-
ministration has put them in, or will
they serve notice to US, by electing
Mr.. Hughes, that we can no longer pull
the feathers out Of their eagle?"
Reflect Wilson, and from the posi-
ton of a minority President he be-
comes the peoples choice and his rec
ord is our record. With him we in
dorse Josephus Daniels and all the rest.
