English term of "Five o'Clocks," have just been verboten the Berlin police, says London Mail. The public is not clear either as to the reason or as to the exact kind of "Five o'Clocks" which have become illegal. The ukase blotting them out simply reads as follows: - "In recent times there have been repeated repeated functions described as 'Five o'Clock Teas.' The attention of the public is again called to the fact that these functions are forbidden." It is suggested that the Berlin resorts resorts known as "cabarets" have beer enticing large numbers of women and girls to entertainments advertised as "Five o'Clock Teas" which turned out to be of considerably less innocent character than their name implied. The newspapers suppose that the police authorities desire to put an end to these shady functions, rather than to the "Five o'Clock" which, before the •war, in imitation of London and Paris, were conspicuous features of Berlin's craze to be weltstadtisch (cosmopolitan) (cosmopolitan) . ^ Duty is never so disagreeable as when it is neglected.
