Five O'Cloch Tea THE pretty and comfortable cus tom of bcrvlng afternoon tea Is, in many houseH, quite ns much a part of the regular household routine as breakfast or dinner. Tlio tsa may be simply nerved for the family and casual vlKltura who drop In at the "tea-hour," or It may be quite an elaborate affair, with Invitations and many guests. When It assumes the proportions of reception, the dining table Is the center of attraction, and guests are escorted thither. For a cup of tea with a rlinnro cnller, the tea-table la brought Into the drawing-room or sitting-room. It Is no loiiRer usual to leave the small table set, as used. fre quently to be seen. There was a suggestion of possible dust about that custom not quite savory to the tea drinker. To meet this change in fashion a small portablo table ll used. For this most simple and phasing way of rnterlalnlriR one's friends the preparations need not bo elaborate. The tea-table may stand in the cor ner of the draw lug-room, or a room opening off It. If the hostess expects mnny cullers, Fhn should ask a friend to preside over the tea urn or kettle. If cof fee or choeolato la to bo served an other friend may be asked to pour this. The second beverage Is not nec essary, as the one for which the function Is named la sufficient and Is generally liked. The table must be covered with a pretty cloth, and on this should be the tea-kettle with an alcohol lamp to Insure a constant supply of boil ing water to replenish the teapot or to weaken the liquid already poured. In some homes the maid Is supposed to bring In freshly boiling water na often aa required, but tho particular bousewifo usually finds that the water which she boils herself la more certain than thnt carried from the "Five O'clock" Cakes. distant kitchen. There never was a truer adage than the old one that de cla res: "t'nlfsa ttie krtile hnfltnR h. T-'illliiK Urn t'-aput Hpntl.s ttt tn." Therefore, the connoisseur wants to be sure thnt the steaming liquid poured upon the high-priced leaves "' '; , Table Book Cass 7. -v: A I :-J. J1";1 THERE are certain books that are almost as necessary on a writ ing table as pen and Ink, and those books Bhould be In Btich a position that any one of them may be ready to hand whenever required, and for that purpose the table book case shown In our sketch will prove a great convenience, and It requires llttlo skill to make. It can be made with the aid of any strong wooden box of a suitable Bize. The lid may be removed, as It will not be required, and also the front part of the box, and the remaining portion will present the appearance shown In the small sketch on the left-hand side The wearing of earrings Is now uni versal. V Oriental embroideries display motifs t..rhaslzed by bends of gold or sliver. As though trying to get to the pther extreme, the newest veilings show fine dots, One threads and fine meshes. Cloth topped shoes are procurable In plain colors, gray, tan and dull green, while tiny checks or shadow plaids are much In evidence among smartly dressed women. Dull Jet .or enamel Jewelry Is Invari ably worn for deep mourning. Brooch es, belt buckles and long neck chains for lorgnette or watch are about all that Is really necessary. Marriage to me could be but one of wo things, exquisite or detestable. It was exquisite. mm . -v she uses Is more than "scalding hot." With the kettle on the tablo must be the teapot, sugar bowl, nnd cream Jug. The cups and saucers are ar ranged within easy reach of the per son who "pourB," and on the tablo may be a pllo of plates, each one pro vided with a small napkin or dolly. Many hostesses omit these plates, mid they are, after all, a matter of taste, although whero there are several kinds of sandwiches or enkes tho guest finds them a convenience. Simple sandwiches are always popu lar. White) bread-and butter sand wiches cut Into triangles am' Iloston-brown-bread and crentn-clu'epe sand wiches cut Into semicircles form a pretty combination, niul are known by some housekeepers as "blond nnd bru nette sandwiches. " A t! is ti of fancy cokes and macaroons, and another of chocolates and other sweets appeal to those with a sweet tooth. Have fresh tea mad') often. The lover of the beverage I quick to de tect tho "Hat" taste that proves that tho same leaves have bei n used over nnd over again. Cheap tea Is an abomination and expensive tea Is too delicious an article to b spoiled In the making. Therefore, prepare only a little at a time just a little more than will bo needed by tho guests present at the time of the making. After the beverage has stood for three minutes, It Is ready to pour. Tho usual allowance Is the old fashioned one of "a teaspoonful of tea leaves for each person and one for the pot," but somo of tho finest grades of tea makes too strong a decoction If used according to this formula, und a half teaspoonful of the dried leaves for each guest makes a satisfactory drink. When the "tea" Is one of consider able proportions, several young girl .3 "Five O'clock" Sandwiches. friends of the hostess may assist In handing tho tea cups and cakes. A small lump or two of sugar are placed In each saucer, that the guest may sweeten her tea If she wishes, If there are too many guests present to ascer tain their Individual preferences These young girls, prettily dressed, add to the appearanco and pleasure of the occasion: and when nil the guests are chatting costly over their tea, a charming hour Is spent. Tarty slippers are decorated with rosettes, buckles, bows and butterflies at the top and forms the foundation of the book case. lioih the Interior and the exterior should then be smoothly covered with silk or brocade, fastened along the edges nnd underneath the box with thin sharp nails or Seccotine, and the Interior mny be slightly padded with a thin layer of cotton wool placed un. derneath the silk. The edges are next finished off with a narrow ornamental braid, fastened on with tiny brass-headed nails; and to complete the book case small brass handles are attached to either side, so that the case may bo easily lifted when filled with books Binding on Blankets. One of the first places to show wear In a blanket Is along tho edgo, which will begin to split Into a coarse frlngo. Keeping blankets well bound, with Inch wide ribbon will prevent this. I nless some accident happens to a blanket patching Is not resorted to until it Is very old, then a piece from nnother blanket mny be laid on large enough to cover the worn place and held In place by darning rather than seaming. All thin places enn be fortified by darning with raveltngs from an old blanket. Whep the blanket Is worn past repair, Just double It and quilt It together here and there and lay It across the mat tress under the sheet, and It will con tinue to be of service.

The horsemen's dinner held In New York recenlly, at which August ISel- mont nnnotinced bis Intention of giv ing several valuable stallioiiH to the I'nlted States government, probably will lead to the starting of an associa tion of horsemen, binding together moro closely such organizations na tho Jockety club, the Polo association, the various bunt clubs and tho steeple chase committees. As nuggested by Harry W. Smith of Worcester, who arranged for the dinner, the organiza tion will bo broad, open to all sports of turf and field. "We plan," he says, "to make It open to sportsmen In the broadest sense of tho word, Including members both here and abroad. From every foreign country, almost weekly, come gentlemen who are fond of country life and have made a life study of horses, hounds and other animals. "The provision of entry should be only that the prosective member be a sportsman and a gentlemnn In his home town. There Is no reason for restricting tho membership to certain cities, for why should one wait till he takes up a residence In some center of population before he Is allowed to nilnglo with the sportsmen of America? Tho main thing Is to re strict It to sportsmen, for we are really an exclusive class and the true sportsman has a language of his own ami a meaning to his words which others can never understand." LIGHT SULKY FOR TROTTING i Vehicle Invented for Racing Purposes 1 That Takes All of Driver's J WeiBht Off Shafts. ! In order to mako n sulky that will be very light, and one In which tho 1 weight of tho driver will be entirely removed from the shafts, an Inventor i has adopted a bicycle design. The j two wheels of the sulky are mounted : In tandem, and arc supported In a Bicycle Trotting Sulky, frame of tho bicycle type, which Is not only very light, but U also very strong. Tho shafts of the sulky are connected to the steering post of the front wheel of the bicycle, so that the wheel will follow the horse around curves and fcharp turns. The trac tive effort required with a vehicle of thla sort will be practically negligible. GOSSIP OF SPORTDOM Manager Duffy of the Whlto Sox says he believes the "can't come back" theory Is all nonsense. 'iioc" Uelsling, pitcher of the Wash ington club, has announced his deter mination to quit bast-ball. The season ol consistency! Doc Hol ler says the toe hold should be barred, but keeps right on using It. Addio Jvss' arm Is In n plaster cast again. Cleveland baseball stock for i911 has slumped 30 per cent. Thirty-three "John Smiths" were ar rested at a cock fight In Pittsburg Maybe they will "got together" after this. Just after Howard Camnltz lost his case with tho Pittsburg club, he was seen dining with President Harney Dreyfuss. Kid McCoy punched Jack O'Hrlen In tho nose and also In the eye In a pri vate workout, and now there Is a big ado about It in Philadelphia. "Knockout" Hrown of New York has had 80 battles In the ring and lost only one. lie has scored 34 knockouts. Pretty good for short boutB. Jack Curley says he has lost all hope of matching ' Hack" and Gotch. lloth grapplers are training to be In shape if anything 'drops," Just the same. In Tex Jones, St. Joseph, a strap ping six-footer weighing lao pounds, Charley Comlskey has a "hope" for the ilrst base position on the While Sox. Tommy Kyuu, too, wants to take a punch at thnt old fallacy so often heard that a fellow can't come back. Maybe Tommy never "went back" at that. What has become of the members of the Holdout league? Some of them have transferred their membership enrds to the Won't-Coine-llack organi zation. Harry Lord of the White Sox has paid a glowing tribute to Hal Chase as a prospective manager. It is now up to Hal to tell what a good third sackor Harry Is. Those western college golf players, who kindly formed a western organiza tion, might stage a match between Chick Kvans and Paul Hunter, and save a lot of expense on preliminaries. Mathewson and Chief Myers are bat ting about .128 on the road, but their average Is expected' to pick up about April 12, when they start doing a little "plnylng" for the entertainment of the New York baseball fans. Hal Chase will give lilrdle free a chanco on his Infield the coming sea son. Cree was a wonder in the out field last season, and Chase wants to keep him in the game for his hitting and base running again this year. Davy Jones Is the greatest come back In tho American league. The Chicago Nationals passed him up sev eral years ago and sent him to the minors. Detroit then took him lp and Davy was a member of three championship teams and Is still a star base runner. President Murphy does not stand alone in his belief that the coacher at third base should be compelled to re main In the box and refrain from as sisting the base runners who overrun the bng. Clark Griffith of the Reds en tertains the same notion and wants Murphy to make a fight to have his suggestion Incorporated In the rules HAS MADE TOWN OF , ! a (J "' ' ' Carl Morris, Heavyweight Fighter. There la nn old saying to the effect that "Kvery cock fights best In his own back yard," which appears to carry considerable weight with ono Carl Morris, the Oklahoma "hope," who has been giving spectacular exhibitions of pugilistic pyrotechnics around his na tive state. In other words, Morrla baa deftly avoided the lure of every pro moter of fistic events who has tried to sign him up for fights outside of his own bailiwick, pays tho Kansas City Star. Carl's manager announces that the Btate In question where Morris has won all his battles up to dato will con tinue to bo the sphere of the big chap's scrapping activities for some time to come. Sapulpa people are proud of Morris, and well they may be, for since tho new "hope" appeared on the scene persons who were never aware of the existence of such a burg on the map now speak of It In familiar ac cents. Morris probably knows his own business best and his assertion that ho ran get ns high as $12,000 for a purso in the native diggings whenever he wants to fight Is a reasonably good ar gument why he should remain at home ind force challengers to como to him. NEWPORT TENNIS DATES SET All-Comers' Championship to Begin There on August 21 Players to Be Sent to Australia. Monday, August 21, Is the date se lected for ull-comers' championship tennis tournament opening at New port. Though tho 1011 contest will he played on the Casino courts, as It has been for the last forty years, another movement Is on foot to take the an nual event to Philadelphia next year. Newport won only after a bitter strug gle and the opposition to tho fashion able watering place will be united next year under Karl ltehr and I.yle IS. Ma lum. In the National I.awn Tennis associ ation meeting Or, Philip 11. Hawk car ried a motion lhat the three best play ers available be sent to Australia In quest of the Davis International chal lenge cup. The details were left to a committee to be appointed. The pro posed dual matches with Kngland were turned over to the executive commit tee. The delegates also decided to place a penalty on any prenrrangement of the draw: "Infraction of the rule requiring n random draw renders a club or other organization llnhlo to loss of their tournament the following years, except that In competitions between nations, states, cities, dubs and similar bodies, where the competition Is between sue ) bodies and not between players as In dividuals, players may be placed In such mnnner as may be agreed upon by the management of the competi tions." SEEKS TO REVIVE LACROSSE Crescent Athletic Club of Brooklyn Again to Take Up Game Which Has Lagged Recently. A movement Is on fool among the members of the Crescent Athletic club of Htooklyn to receive In that club Interest In the game of lacrosse. For years the Crescents played annually a series of games with the Johns Hop kins university of linltlmoro ami with the Stevens institute of Hoboken, says a New York dispatch to the Haltimore American. Then the Interest In tho game was spirited, but In recent years there has been a falling off of prac tice and playing among tho members of the Crescents and the game has perceptibly languished. The plan now is to form a big league of the lacrosse playing colleges for the coming sen son, and to revive popular Interest In the sport. This announcement Is par ticularly significant from the fact that the Crescent club, which for sev eral years held the championship, Is preparing to lake a greatly enlarged athletic field on, the north shore of Long Island. Here the local club will go more deeply Into nil sports of ath letics, but more particularly the game of lacrosse, in which Haltimore has al ways held a prominent place. Germans to Play Football. The championship for the German Football club will be contested for the first time In Germany on the occa sion of the International Hygiene ex hibition In 1911, Dresden. Juno 4 has been fixed as tho prob able date and on tho same day the German Football club will hold Its general meeting. SAPULPA FAMOUS Instead of prowling around In search of opponents. Nevertheless, tho ma jority of fight followers would have preferred to seo him come out In Iho open and give them a taste of tils qual ity. There la no denying that Morris litis dono all that has been asked of him by bis home admirers. I!ut It must bo remembered that, with tho excep tion of .Marvin Hart, who Is a physical wreck In a sense, none of the men who went down before tho giant's punches were known to fame In the slugging business. It reminds one rather of tho many youths who take part In "bush battles," fights pulled off In pri vate, nnd tho like; jcore up a long list of knockouts to their credit and then fall down miserably when pitted for the first time against somo ringster of proven quality before a bona fide ath letic dub. This does not necessarily mean thnt Morris belongs In the four flush category. I'e may be all that la claimed' for him, und more, but the public likes "to be shown." Rooming a coming champion Is all very well, hut there comes a day when the long advertised pudding Is put to tho eating proof. - SIGNAL FOR H0NUS WAGNER Manager McGraw of New York Giants Tells Pitcher Marquard to Give Plttsburgcr "Anything." "The giants have Bignals of their own, nnd not a team has ever even como near to getting onto them," said "Rube" Marquard, Giant pitcher. "Wc tell what's coining off in so man) words, too.

Proposing a big sweepstakes race, which will bring together somo of the best trotters In training next season, John K. Madden the other day threw down the gauntlet in behalf of Soprano (2:07'4) by posting his check for $:.00 to bind a race for $1,000 a corner, open to all trofters, except Uhlan (1:58?4) and The Harvester (2:01).
