The hostess who learns the art of

an Informal luncheon to guests. Close
grained bread should be used, for
coarse bread will crumble, and bread
baked In round tins is preferable to
that cut into slices und cut with a biscuit
cutter, since the baked edges preserve
the shape. Very moist fillings
should be laid between lettuce leaves,

Pursuing an Elephant.
Any one who has once followed a

undue haste to repeat the amusement,

In Africa. The elenhants sail along at i
nn average pace of six miles au hour,
regardless of the country, and stop for
a bath or a short siesta perhaps once
every three days. Anything more exasperating
than following very fresh
spoor at a dog trot hour after hour in a
blazing sun. only to And & late hour
In the afternoon that one was forty
miles from camp, with no food or water

had increased his lead from one

rose and quietly asked, "Sir, would you

NOTE TO GREAT BRITAIN.
U. S. Enters Strong Protest Against
Blockade.
The United States in its latest note
to Great Britain, covering British interference
with American trade since
the beginning of the European war,
leclares that the so-called blockade
instituted by the allies against enemy
lountrics on March 11 is "ineffective,
Illegal and indefensible." Notice is
jerved that the American government ^ ^
"conrot submitAto the curtailment of ? jgg
Its neutral rights," and it cannot 7
'with complacence suffer subordination
of its rights and interests."
Ambassador Page was instructed
jy Secretary Lansing "to impress
nost earnestly" upon the British government
that the United States "must
nsist that the relations between it
ind his majesty's government be governed
not by a policy of exj>odiency,
)ut by those established rules of inernational
conduct to which Great
Jritnin in the past has held the United
States to account when the latter na.
ion was a belligerent engaged in a
itruggle for national existence."
