culinity, with the trend of the con-
versation leaning more toward cur
rent events, politics, books and even
the arts.
A tea party is one of the sim
plest methods of entertaining, be-
cause even though your resources
may be limited, you can ask few
friends to drop in for tea.
I have a friend who quite often
gives teas on Sunday afternoons.
They are highly successful, not be-
cause of her lovely silverware or
china, because here must confess
that most of her china does not even
match); they are successful rather,
because her friends gather for the
pleasure of chatting with one an
other. Conversation flies fast and
furiously-but the group is held to-
gether by one common bond, the
tea cup.
The most meager necessities
would include tea tray, on which
the tea set and napkins are placed,
a table from which to serve the tea,
glistening china, and well-polished
silver.
If the party is small you may, as
hostess, pour the tea, asking the
guests to help themselves to cream
or lemon and sugar. If it is a
larger party and it is necessary for
you to constantly greet your guests
as they arrive, ask one of your
friends to preside at the tea table
for you.
The tea that is served must be
good. 1t not only must be fresh,
but must be hot to be palatable and
soothing. If the, weather is warm
you may like to serve both hot and
iced tea. Serve the iced tea in tall
glasses which have been chilled pri-
or to serving. Sliced lemon and
powdered sugar are necessary ac-
cessories for iced tea. Place the
ice cubes in an attractive ice bucket
with the ice tongs near by. AS an
added bit of color and flavor, gar
nish the completed beverage with
sprigs of fresh, cool mint.
Dainty sandwiches, hot buttered
toast, thin slivers Of cinnamon toast
and small English mullins are ap-
propriate to serve with tea. Popu-
lar accomplishments to tea are sand
witches made from nut bread, sliced
very thin, and buttered.
You may like to use some of the
suggested accompaniment for your
next tea party, to give you that
much sought-after distinction as a
discriminating hostess.
Hot Tea.
Rinse teapot with boiling water.
Allow l teaspoon of tea for each
cup and lone for the pot" Place tea
in teapot, and pour freshly boiling
water over tea leaves. Cover and
allow tea to steep 8 to 5 minutes, as
desired. Remove ball or bag con-
tanning the leaves, and serve at
once.
Chicken Sandwiches With
Cranberry Sauce.
Right here and now we put in our
plea for revolt against chicken sand
witches that are bone dry! Have you
tried putting thin slice of canned
cranberry sauce in with the chick
en-? We eat cranberry sauce with
chicken when it's served on a plate.
Why not in a sandwich? Try slice
of canned cranberry sauce in your
chicken sandwiches the very next
time you make them and see if you
don't agree there's a vast improve
ment.

Is the tea party the thing Of the
past? I sincerely hope not because
there is nothing quite so comfy and
relaxing as good cup of tea. And
you can make it even more delight
full by sharing it with few7of your
friends.

Parents Renew Fight To Open Reidvile School

More than 30 delegates of the Rockville Community club will at- tend . meeting of the Board of Education tonight to demand the reopening of the Rockville school. The meeting will probably also be attended by delegates from the . East End Community club to re- ceive 8 report on the Anderson school gymnasium, plans for which have been approved by the state board of education.
 Although final report on the Rockville controversy is expected tonight, the nature of the report could not be learned. It was known that Mayor Vincent A. Scully, Joseph DeLuca, president of the Rockville club, and the schoOlhouse committee conferred last week, but the result of the conference re- mained a secret.
 The Reidvilae pupils, who struck for three days against going to East Farms school where they were transferred after the Reid vile school was closed as a fire trap, have been pursuing their studies at East Farms since last Monday in good order.

Rietdyke Speaks On Life of Gen. Wm. Booth
Tells of Early History of Salvation Army in Radio
 Broadcast Major Wiberg to Officiate Here

Charles Rietdyke of the local corps of the Salvation Army, in speaking on the radio last night on the Army's regular Sunday night program at 6:45 to TOO, said among other things about the Army. When back in 1865, young Lon- don minister named William Booth, had to choose between his well-to- do parish with its prosperous living and promising future on one side and his ministry to the unchurched of the slums, the spiritual and phy- sical uplift of the down and outer on the other side, this man Boott with his wife, Catherine, decided tc cast their lot with the poor.
 His church building became a tent, his pulpit a chair and his con- gregation the hopeless, churchless Goddess people of the Whitechapel SlumS.
 Work Prospered
 God blessed and prospered the work of this man. From the slums came forth rejuvenated, rechristian- ized men and women, who had caught the spirit of the crucified Christ and carried the Gospel tid- ings with them to the workshops the mines, the pits and the mills And the glad tidings spread like wildfire. Here was 8 ray of hope, a smile, kind word, good deed, a helping hand when help was needed most-practical Christianity! The Salvation Army was on the march! And bound together by common cause, the uplift of stumbling and fallen mankind, the age-old barriers of casts and creed and race torn down, and shoulder to shoulder in common Christian brotherhood marched the poor and the rich, the college-trained and the illiterate, the old and the young, the European and the Caucasian. the Occidental and the Oriental-they marched as one! Unified, strengthened and up- held by a power greater than all the earth, they marched around the world!
 Oh, the places that this march has taken those marcherS! Into the palaces of royalty and the drab smelly Sickrooms of poor farms, into the great music halls of the world to the street corner of every town and village; into the pulpits of an cient mad mighty Cathedrals, to the dark and dismal, evil-breeding dives of the waterfront; into the snow and ice and cold and hunger and starvation of the silent Northland to the deadening, throttling, breath taking, life-sapping heat of darkest and deerest Africa; into the im- maculate nurseries and hospitals where lives are being rebuilt and cared for, to the wartorn fields oi the worlc where lives are deliber- ately and wantonly destroyed!
 And this Army of Peace still marches on-demanding of its sol diers unselfish, wholehearted ser- vice; extending to the whosoever regardless of race, creed or color

l Wednesday. Upson ran for congress in 1886, losing by huge margin to the Democratic candidate, J. Jo- seph Smith. He retired as town chairman here in the spring i Support for Upson will be sought especially in Litchfield county, it apparently being taken for granted that he can have the votes of the | Waterbury delegates to the congress sional convention.
 1 Support Cornell
 The eight local delegates to the Republican state convention will back the candidacy of Paul Cornell of Washington, who is backed by William J. Pape, local publisher and influential Republican. Nomination of Cornell, a resident of Litchfield country, for U. s. senator would, it is argued, make it necessary for l the congressional candidate to be chosen from the Waterbury end of this district. This would aid Upson's s chances.
 Upson has not previously figured in the discussion of candidates for the congressional nomination. The most solid elegate strength, appar- l ently, has been held by Frank T Johnson, local newspaperman and Thomaston resident, but the fact that he is a voter in Litchfield coun- l ty is now being used against John- son.
 Col. Roy Rice, of Woodbury, the candidate against Congressman Smith two years ago, is interested in the nomination again this year Friends say he has been unable to win much support from the local Republican organization. Rice back CTS have steadily claimed that the organization did little to help his candidacy in 1888.
 Badger Has Support
 State Senator Claude Badger, oi Wolcott, has been in the field open. ly longer than any other candi- date and has some strength. The candidacy of Carl Lundgren. of An sonia, foreman of the Waterbury grand jury, has moderate delegate support In the lower Naugatlick Val. ley but has not bene encouraged by the powers that be. A possible dark horse is States Attorney William Blodgett, of Winsted. but his op. position to Cornell has brought hin Into disfavor.

 Broken Wreckage

BrOken Wreckage
 The unfortunate, the underpriv- ileged, the down. hearted, the drunk ard, the unmarried mother, together with all the rest of our broken wreckage of present day civilization find in the Salvation Army a sym pathetic and understanding quality which is inspired by the teachings of the loWly Nazarene, who con- manded Love Thy Neighbor."
 Love thy neighbor. The secret of wholesome, < successful, abundant living, the only lasting remedy for poverty, distress, unemployment and war, the answer to so many of our dreadful problems and present day troubles, but mankind rejects the teachings of the son of God and madly purSues its course of wanton deStrction and mass murder. And then when the unspeakable horror of it all stries home, we cry out &C., cusingly: Why does God permit those terrible things to happen?" Love thy neighbor. We must go back to our churches, back to our Bibles, back to God. Before we &C., cuse him, let us learn His way of living and apply that to our lives, and when we do that, then and only then can we truthfully pray: Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven"
 Next Sunday
