The tea is made either by using a spirit lamp to heat the water with, or it is brought from i the kitchen, ready to serve.

Wants Readers' Opinions Dear Cynthia I certainly do enjoy the column and I would like to Join the Keeplng-rp-IIope Club. I have a question to ' ask that has been on ni) mind lnttly. It Is this: Why don't the bojs like me? I am just nt that age where I like the boys, although! I inn not crnj over every one I see. i I onlj like nice, jolly ones, with some' sense and nt least a little politeness in them. I nm rather quiet, yet not too much so, nun I trv to no ns nice nnd jolly nnd as much n good sport as I can nnd let others have their way. I nni rather stout, but not fat. Many people call me nil kinds of names, but thnt doesn't bother me because I nm so used to it. I nm nlwa.vs pent nnd clean, but for some reason nearl) all the boys sneer nt or nvike fun of me. The only thing I enn see that would answer the question is my parents won't let uio out nt night, but I can have all the compnnj I wnnt in the house. Would that make any differ ence: Bojs nre so peculiar, jou can't understand them. If some one will nnsvver this letter, bo or girl or both, they will certainly plrnsc and relieve JUST DOTTIH.

"Tired and Wearj": You arc very foolish to worry about love. Keep look ing on the sunny side and nlvvajs keep hl"'w ""'l J0"y The men who are a torture to jou are not real men. A real man docs not ask u gill for a kiss unless he Is engaged to her. He does not flirt with every gitl he meets. He docs not use vulgar language. He hates the speiinl demonstrations of affection that nre shown him by the op posite sex. A renl man loves girls who are firm in their love affairs. The more W; hen we renovate, we innovate. We make .the old into the newt And this is .being exemplified every day in the transformations that we are expertly effecting in Fur Coats, Fur Coatees, Fur Scarfs, Fur Sets and the other Fur specialties that find their best representation here.
