A Maple Sugar Treat.

Senator Page of Vermont. who is one
of the most popular men in Congress,
one day recently gave senators and
their wives. the official staff and other
invited guests their annual Vermont
maple sugar treat. Fresh from the
famous maple groves of Vermont there
had come generous allowance of syr-
up and sugar. which was arranged in
the senator's private dining room. Sen
ator Page personally served the treat
in true Vermont fashion
The syrup was a special kind boiled
down particularly thick and sugary.
Arranged on the tables We're trays of
finely cracked ice. Upon this Senator
Page poured the hot maple sugar which
cracked and CONCEALED. 1t was then
taken up by the guests on forks and
eaten like freshly made molasses
candy.
Everybody pronounced the sugar de-
licious. For those who liked it in the
form of syrup it was served with genu-
inc home made New England dough-
nuts and pickles, the latter taking off
the sweet edge of the syrup.

INTERESTING TO REPORTERS

Berlin, May ,, (via London, May g.
Ambassador James w. Gerard, after
his arrival at the American embassy
on his return from general headquar-
tiers, received the newspaper CORES

received Secretary Lansing's cabled
instructions in time to communicate
