There was also an attempt to have
a suitable bronze tablet erected, stat

in the park had come as a gift from
the city of Toxic. 1t was the in

tablet on the riverside drive near the
Lincoln Memorial. but some one bet

those trees were exactly the only
cherry trees in the park that had not
been given by the city of Toxic. They
had chosen the original so trees
bought by Mrs. Taft in 1909, which
then inspired DR.. Takamine to make
his splendid offer in the name of his
own capital city. The bronze tablet
was not set up.

ACCESSORIES
FOR TEA

TT is altogether probable that
II the charming paraphernalia OF
the tea service. as much as the
amber potion itself, has caused
the hospitality of afternoon tea
to gain In favor. Certainly the
possession OF an attractive and
,well.equipped tea table adds to
the ease OF the hostess.
Among the interesting new tea
things is a narrow-topped tea
wagon with drop leaves which
will fit into the tiny space which
Is available In the modern small
apartment for such accessories.
This tea cart boasts a drawer for
silver and napkins and a lower
shelf for extra dishes, and when
the leaves are extended it provides
generous table space.
Another table is really a tea
tray hinged to a frame so that It
may be tipped straight against the
wall when not In use. Its COM
pactness when folded. combined
with it's light weight. makes it
possible to carry this tray.table
about easily.
Among the attractive new
dishes for the tea table is a cup
on q saucer large enough to ac-
commodate sandwiches. cakes and
sailed nuts. A teapot and water
jug resting on one base are com.
pact and attractive. A tea-caddy
of rock-crystal. Jar of candy and
a crystal box for cigarettes are
among the details which complete
the service.
Silver with colored ivory handles
gives the smart French touch to
the modern tea service.
