ferred to serve in China with after
noon tea, she described their special
savory Chinese pastries, which are
really miniature meat or shrimp
pies. They do not often serve sweets
with tea.
Tea with Lemon
Nv guests from India and Ceylon
preferred tea with lemon. In the Far
East with their tea they usually
pass vegetable sandwiches made
with thin-sliced cucumber or toma-
to, or sometimes with fascinating
vegetable chutney made by grind
ing together fresh mint leaves and
green chilies, adding a little lemon
or tamarind, salt and onion juice.
This is spread on buttered bread.
All of the women were shocked
at the high cost Of foods In this
country, and felt that American
homemakers might take few tips
in food-economy from their foreign
neighbors.
Lots Of Meat
British Hot Pot is good for two
or three meals" said one. "You
have lots Of meat at the bottom the
first time; then each day you add
more potatoes and tomatoes!"
~ think American women could
use more Of the economical meat
and vegetable combinations" re-
marked q Chinese guest. "Both pork
and beef shanks are good, and they
are cheap cuts"
India contributed the idea Of
more curried dishes, made with fish,
eggs, shell fish, lentils or fresh
vegetables, as well Is the less ex-
pensive meats.
Our United States guests from
Pennsylvania and Maryland drank
iced tea-the all-American drink.
We all pooled our ideas and evolved
the following menu we hope you'll
enjoy:

AMONG the special guests at the
Boston Tea Party in Swampscott,
were women from India, China and
England, wives or daughters Of tea
growers or merchants. So l invited
them to an International Tea Party
in one of the lovely salons in the
hotel to meet some of the guests
from the United States and to have
q "spot of tea. In the center of the
room was placed large round ia
Bile covered with white cloth; there
was . low bowl overlooking with
late garden chrysanthemums, and
there were yellow candles. The
guests sat at the table to enjoy the
tea and the discussion.
The tea service was arranged on
separate table; q big pot of tea;
a swinging afternoon tea-kettle of
boiling water; sugar; jugs Of cream
and milk; thin half slices of lemon;
and ice cubes to make iced tea. A
second side table held American
style tea Accomplishments. - large
plates Of bite-sized Boston brown
bread and cream cheese sandwiches,
and triangular-shaped chicken paste
sandwiches made with thin-sliced
white bread.
English Tea
The tea served to our English
friends was strong and with cream
and sugar. what do you like best
to serve with afternoon tea in Eng
land?" asked.
Bread, cut wafer-thin and spread
with butter" they said, "plain or
sprinkled with land cress."
The name Gland cress" was new
to me. "You don't have it in this
country" they explained. "The
stalks are short, and the leaves are
almost as fine as parsley. You can
sprout 1t in any moist place. We
even grow it on a piece Of moist
blanket" I've sent to England for
seeds, and when they come, l have
a piece of old blanket waiting ready
to try this out. When l preached
this to the Chef, all he said was,
Madame, l have conducted many
experiments under your direction,
but this appears really fantas-
tique'!"

guests how to make tea in q cup

especially at school, where there
are SO many children. But at home
it can be . very practical way.
Use Of Dictionary
Even at school, I wish the teacher
would, in the earlier grades, gladly
spell any word when asked by any
child to do 50. In this way she can
help the child gain spelling con-
science. Now . child must be pretty
far along In the grades before he
can do well at looking up the SPELL
ing Of . word in the dictionary, or
will choose to do so. Instead, he
may prefer to guess ct the spelling

What Causes
Pain infHond
And Shouldn't
By HERMAN N. BUNDEsEE no

OF. late years, doctors have Deer,
learning more and more about the
penalties we pay for any injury or
over-stimulation Of the autonomic
nerves, that vast and complicated
system through which vital but UNI
conscious activities Of the body,
such az breathing, digestion, circu-
lation, and so on, are regulated.
Recently, the basic cause Of
rather strange combination of Shout
der pain, with pain and swelling of
the hand, which may occur as the
result of many widely diverse dis
orders, has been traced to the grad
ual effect these disorders may have
on the nerves which regulate the
flow Of blood to the affected hand.
Several Stages
The disease passes through,sev-
eral stages in its progress. The first,
which usually lasts from three to
six months. consists of pain in the
shoulder with some limitation of mo-
ton, followed by swelling, pain and
stiffness Of the hand and fingers.
The disorder may come on slow
ly or suddenly. Either the hand or
the shoulder may be first affected,
followed by symptoms at the other
location, or both parts may be af-
fected at the same time. Swelling
Of the hand and fingers is uniformly
distributed. The skin Of the hands
and fingers becomes smooth and
tight so that the normal folds and
wrinkles are absent. There may be
some peeling Of the skin on the
hands and, to a lesser degree, on
the forearms. The skin Of the hands
may DO . husky pink color at first.
Later on. the hands become pale.
with . blush tint. Efforts to move
the fingers often cause pain.
The second stage Of the disease.
also from three to six months in
duration, In most cases brings grad
ual relief Of the painful shoulder
and some disappearance Of the
swelling Of the hand. As the SWELL
ing clears up, however, the stiffness
Of the fingers become more pro-
nounesd. There may be soma vast
ins Of the tissues under thu skin
and Of the muscles Of the hand.
Third Stage
The third stage lasts for many
months and brings marked changes
In the tissues, the skin becoming
smooth and glossy, with . great.
lssssning Of the number Of creases
and wrinkles. The wasting Of the
tissues under the skin progresses.
There may BE- overgrowth Of the
hair on the back Of the hand and
permanent deformities Of the an-
gers.
In many cases, this disorder
seems to occur Of itself. that is,
without being provoked by any
other disease. In other cases, thu
nerve damage can be accounted foI
by an Inflammation Of the hursa. Of
sac containing fluid, over the Shout
der, inflammation Of the tissue,
around . joint. pressure on esrtsin
blood vessels. and by various forms
Of aythritis OF joint Inflammation.
OF course. . condition Of this type
should b. treated by IN orthopedic
specialist. The exact form Of treat.
ment will depend upon the type %
