"THERE IS NO` WORSE TEA."
When Mary.Antin was a little girl
it Russia she was sent by her mother
who kept a shop to deliver a package
of tea to a customer. It was. her first
important errand --so we learn from
her autobiography, which the Atlantic
Monthly prints—and, like most chil-
dren in such Circumstances, she was
filled with a sense of her dignity
and
importance.. As it proved she was
more dignified than diplomatic.
It was, she writes, a good-sized ex-
pedition for me to make alone, and I
was nota little pleased with myself
