A smart and efficient sentry of the Suffolks, snys the "North China Daily News," stopped a for-p eigner who had walked the full! length of what used to be the Foot- hall Club's ground at the Race Course, and quietly, but firmly, asked him first to put out his pipe, and then to note in future. that that particular section was reserv ed strictly "for members of His Majesty's Forces only. It was not a flying period, but the sentry anid orders were that the area was clos- ed to civilians at all times. One does not remember seeing an order this effect and there is not a sentry at the Race Club side to stop one. walking on to the ground, but, as none will wish wilfully to offend against military orders. note might be taken of the ruling.

It is curious how cake fashions: change and how they are in-1 fluenced by home and dress fashions (says a "Daily Tele- graph" writer). The elaborate decorations once seen on cakes are seldom used nowadays ex- cept for ceremonial occasions such as a wedding or a christen- ing. The modern cake-maker must have an artistic sense, for delicate colourings and simple designs used to ornament good cakes nowadays. A society woman will often order her cakes to tone with her teacloth and service. Yellow, mauve, and pale green iced cakes are frequently chosen to match the hostess's linen and china. Sometimes con- trasting shades are introduced in the design of the cake. This idea at least lends a touch of novelty to the modern tea party. Lemon, orange, and pineapple fillings are very popular at pre- sent. Chocolate iced cakes are still far and away the most popular. Men like fruit cakes better than anything else, while, since the fashion for slim figures came in, women have become very small cake eaters. People are not so much inclined to "make a good tea" now that the evening meal is more and more considered the most important of the day. While tea-drinking will never go out of fashion, eat- ing at tea time is often confined nowadays to a scone or a small plece of cake,
