there was rosy glow that came with
it. Mothers who carried their daugh-

have to sit and wait while an ambu-

away. Men who broke their arms and
walked in, their faces twisted with
agony, wouldn't have to wait. Women

an altar. but so what? She had that
warm inner glow. She remembered,
after a while, that old man whom
Peter had seen through, that Peter
had made a hero. He did things like
that to people, Peter did. From scared
humans he turned them into heroes.
You're a salesman, Peter she
said. You can sell anybody any
thing. You can sell them the idea that
death is grand and lovely. You're
such a salesman, Peter!'
''Am I?'' He was insincerely, blat-

For a slightly more elaborate tea,
you can spread yourself little more
about the accompaniments to use in
the tea. Orange and lemon slices stuck
with cloves are nice; SO are naraschino
cherries. each holding sprig of fresh
mint; slices of fresh lines are attrac-
tive and some of your guests will enjoy
slivers of crystallized ginger. Pinwheel,
rolled or checkerboard sandwiches
can replace the plain ones, though the
only requirement is that the bread
must be thin and the sandwiches

proper to serve macaroons, small crisp
cookies or sponge cakes.

Pr IS teatime when we reach the
house in New York's East Seven
= ties, where Cecil Roberts, the
English writer, is guest during his
stay in the United States. We mount
to the second floor, our feet falling
soundlessly on the heavily carpeted
stair. Yet, though we have approached
silently, Mr.. Roberts achieves the
perfect timing Of good host and is
waiting at the stairhead "a tall,
blond, attractive Englishnan, with
slight air, at the moment, of one who
is under pressure He has just hurried
back from a session at his publishers.

which does not. as the title might sug-
gest to Americans, have anything to
do with soap and tubs. but is charm

watering place by the name of Bath"
To a question about England. Mr..
Roberts says first OF all that he wants
to get back there. And | find the
same thing true of many English peo-
ple," he continues. II want to get
away from the continual news about
England, and be where things just

work of writer, for that is the kind
he knows best. War and anxiety
are death to artistic life. They are an
obsession in the mind"
Think back little before this began

So he talks of Pilgrim Cottage"

discovered one day at Henley-on-
Thames, and fell in love with, and
bought. 1t became mecca for visitors
from all over the world, especially
after it's owner had written the book

says. ''At the time when | found it,

young William Shakespeare passed by

Avon to go to London, where he was
to begin his career by holding horses
for the patrons who came to the

that there is tradition of a Mr..

WHEN we pin Mr.. Roberts down
about food, he protests mildly at our
seeming more interested in his stom-
ach than in his mind But he indulges
our special interest and names tea
as the incest of meals. II love tea,"
he says. "but don't like it made with
bags. l always feel like putting the
little bag in my mouth and drinking
the hot water through it,
IL am the ideal and as yet unmar-
ried person." Mr.. Roberts goes on
humorously, "who eats everything but
sweetbreads. which are neither bread
nor sweet. There's one American
thing | especially like: | have a re-
strained. but inordinate and vulgar
liking for fred onions. which we never
get in England.
But speaking of onions, wonder
what is happening to the onion sup
ply of England. During the onion sea-
son. England ordinarily is filled with
Breton fishing boys in velveteen pants.
Since it is an of-season for fishing,
they have come across the channel
from Brittany, with thousands of
strings of onions. They buy or rent
bicycles, weigh themselves down with
strings of onions. and peddle their
wares all over England"
Our two minds focus again on War
and the loss it brings even in all the
little things. My thoughts go out to
THIS WEEK readers and hope they
may long and often enjoy the sugges-
tions we give them for tea.
Tea is easy to make; yet not every
one makes it well. First you must fill
your kettle with freshly drawn water.
Then when it bubbles and boils, pour
the water on the tea leaves - one
teaspoon of tea leaves for every cup
and an extra one for the pot. Steep to
any strength you desire, but it will
take from three to five minutes to ex-
tract all the essential oils which give
tea its flavor. The color of a cup of
tea has no relation to its strength. AS
for tea pots, people have their personal
preferences. We rather like the fire
proof glass pot shown in the illustration.
1t is gracious custom to serve
simple afternoon tea to callers, ex-
pected or unexpected. And the accom-
paniments can be very simple indeed

or thin watercress sandwiches, or not
too-sweet sandwiches. With the tea

NEW YORK, May 1.-Two native
Californians are recipients of the
1899 Pulitzer awards for distin-
guished work in letters; John Stein
beck for his novel, THE Grapes Of
WRATH" and William Saroyan for
his play, "The Time of Your Life" +"
Awards of 81 900 each went to Mr..
Steinbeck, whose novel of migratory
workers In California sold more
than 100000 copies, and to Saroyan,
whose drama of a waterfront dive

The New York, Herald Tribune
quoted Mr.. Saroyan, in telegram

saying he would refuse the prize,

good and perhaps great theatrical
work" In 1926, Sinclair Lewis de-
clined the prize he won for Arrow
smith,"
"The money, which is part of
the Pulitzer award, I neither need
nor want" Mr. Saroyan said in his
telegram. He declared the only
valid" compensation an artist can
enjoy is the natural compensation"
which comes from the accomplish
ment of that which he intended to
accomplish"
However. Pat Duggan, Mr.. Sar-
oyan's literary agent in New York,
said the playwright told him by
telephone that he would accept the
prize.
The outstanding journalism award
for 1899 went to the Waterbury
(Conn) Republican and American
for their exposure of graft in the
Waterbury city administration, sub
sequently resulting in the trial and
conviction of several officials. The
papers, published by William j. Pape
and edited by E. Robert Stevenson,
won a $500 gold medal.
Otto D. Tolischus of the New York

from Berlin on the economic and
theological background of warning
Germany were followed by his
forced departure from the country,

BRITISH TONNES ARE
GREETED BY BELGIANS

Singing British '"Tommies" sped
across Belgium Sunday night,
over roads strewn with flowers
by Belgian girls, to resist Ger
many's lightning invasion and
roll back history 26 years.
Big black-tipped German bomb
ers came over in attempts to blast
the British column but were driv-
en- off by anti-aircraft fire and
we're unable to inflict any dam
age. y
The British forces moving
across Flanders Fields this year
was in sharp contrast to the Tom
mics who trudged along rutted
roads in 1914 to stem the Ger
man advance.
Not a single man-many of
them sons of the Tommies of 1914
was afoot in the long tine of
fighting steel and spirits pushing
northward at a speed of 30 or 40
miles an hour.
They rode in big conveys, NOV
ing across the Belgian frontier
from France in an endless stream,
behind tanks and armored cars.
Belgian girls, crying wildly in
their enthusiasm, plucked lilacs
from wayside trees and scattered
them in the path of the British
just as their mothers had done
in the summer days of 1914.
