London. June 24.-Bclicf that 90 far
as l'lsterites are concerned there would
be no acts Of reprisal for the murder of
Field Marshal Wilson was expressed to-
day by Premier Craig. Of Ulster. In an
interview with the Belfast correspond =

provoked into retaliation BY the murder

The probable effect on the political
situation Of the assassination OF Field
Marshal Wilson attracts attention to-
day. and all the newspapers speculate

crnmcnt in view of the outburst OF anger
in Parliament at the withdrawal OF
protection FROM prominent men.
Tho intense indignation over the mllr =

that 1t should have been prevented. and
consequently n scapcgoat Is being
sought. Home Secretary short, az rc-

singled out particularly as necessary

large number of the Coalition l'nionists
who have hitherto supported the Gov.

now more than ever inclined 10 attach
themselves to the "Die-IIartls."
These conservative waverers are rep
resented as taking the attitude that
they supported the Anglo Irish treaty

It would settle the Irish question and
peace would follow. Peace has not

Being. an prospective June bride
isn't all a rosy dream Of wedding
wells, white satin and prenuptial
gayety, according to- several Mexico
girls who are contemplating taking
the big step in that month. For you
see besides the interesting prepar-
ations such as, buying a lot of lovely
clothes, there is also the matter of
cake to be considered, not wedding
cake in little satin covered boxes but
honest-to-goodness cake destined to
make the proud husband boast to his
friends of his wife's culinary achieve
ments. In other words, the modern
girl is sensible enough to realize that
love nourished on nothing more ap-
petizing than cheese and sardines and
crackers is apt to die an early and
untimely death SO the prospective
bride in many instances is studying
the cook book as assiruously as the
fashion magazine.

amusing story being told just now Is
that Of the prospective, bride who
through sad experience has found
shat cook books; as well as men, often
say what they don't mean and mean
a lot of things they don't say. For
instance, how is one to know that
when the recipe says the cake requires
ehine eggs beaten separately" that
it means the whites beaten together
and the yolks together. Anyway the
girl l have, in mind didn't so she took
nine saucers and beat an egg in each
one. Then to her dismay when she
reached the end of the recipe and
saw "add the whites last" she took
some more eggs to get the whites
which she stirred into the cake when
it was ready for the oven. An eigh-
teen-egg cake, an inch and a half in
height was the result but the P. B.
was not discouraged for she is an
optimist and besides did you ever
hear of anyone in love being sadden-
ed by anything as trivial as a cake
failure?
