10 HI HOUSEHOLD PP TALKS |||ij|| Henrietta D. Grauel Making Tea Correctly A groat quantity of tea is wasted in; i many families because too large a quan tity is made. This is a small item when it comes to reckoning expense but what is really important is that the tea so , carelessly made is weak, unsatisfying , and strong. There is a little device called an in dividual tea maker, that looks like two perforated spoons fastened together, that holds just tea enough for one or two cups. It is used by putting the tea in it' and immersing it in a cup of boil ing water. When the right strength is: secured it is removed. Another plan to have tea always uni form is to use one of the various brands of tea tablets put out by tea companies. There are many of these tabets on sale and your favorite flavor is surely among some of them. Their price is about j twenty-five cents for fifty tablets and they give satisfaction every time tea j is made. For the average family the hetter I plan is to use the tea they like best and measure both tea and tea water. Another thing is to have a tea pot of exact size. It should be of unglazed earthen ware. I ihink it has never been j explained why tea made in crockery pots is better flavored but the fact re-; mains this is true. Every tea importer j or tea tester will bear me out in this statement. There is no excuse for dipping tea out of the canister in an unmeasured amount, nor for pouring water on it that is not boiling, nor for boiling tea after it is made.

If the thought of wide open windows in zero weather is appalling, pluck up courage and try a small dose first.

Then, too. tea is allowed to stand until it is as yellow as coffee, and as strong as diluted lye, and then reheated. Freshly made tea is a splendid bev erage that harms 110 one and the way of making it properly is so simple that little children can and do make it nicely. This is how:— Measure a level teaspoon of tea for each cup. Have freshly drawn water boiling. Water is boiling when it is bubbling rapidly and it is not boiling when it is only giving off steam. Heat the tea pot with a little of the hot water and throw this water out. Put in the tea and pour the boiling water on it. Cover the tea pot with a tea-cosv or a cloth. Wait three to five minutes, then serve the tea. If you use cream in tea always put the cream in cup first and pour tea on it: the flavor is smoother than when cream is added last.

If it is your misfortune to be so confined try and make lip for it by giving yourself the maximum amount of ventilation during the hours of sleep. Night is the time for mental and physical building up. This demands fresh air. It is impossible to properly purify the blood with used air. It is just as necessary to bathe the blood while it is passing through the lungs with clean air as to bathe your body with clean water. Sleeping with your windows wide open tiie year around is a matter of habit and of bed clothes. Nature in tended us to have fresh air to breathe both day and night. If you have anv lingering memories of the old wives ' tale that night air is injurious, put it aside. This, like many another old saying, has 110 foundation in fact.

HARRISBT7RG STAR-INDEPENDENT, MONDAY EYENINfI. FEBRUARY 1. 1915. <?MV / MHEART SBBL By J.Hartley Manners A. Comedy of Youth Founded by Mr. Manners on His Great Play of the Same Title—lllustration* From Photographs of the Play Copyright, 1913, by Dadd, Mead (y Company (CONTINUED.) After a W illie. tired out with trie rusn nnd excitement or the ship's arrival. Peg fell asleep. In :i Tew hours they reached their destination. Hawkes woke her and told her she was at her journey's end. He agulu hailed a cab. told the drtrer w here to so and cot in with Pep. Mi chael and her luggage. In the cah he handed Pep n card and told her to go to the address written on it and ask the people there to allow her to wait autll he jolued her. tie had a business call to make In the town, lie would be ss short a tliue as possible. She was just to tell the people that she had been asked to call there ami wait. After the cab had gone through a few streets it stopped before a big building. Hawkes got out. told the cabman where to take Veg. paid him and. with some dual admonitions to Peg. disappeared through ttie swing doors of the town hall. The cabiuan took the wondering Peg along until he drove up to a very hand some Elizabethan house. There he stopped. Peg looked at the uutue on the gateposts and then at the npime on the card Mr. Hawkes had given her. They wore the same. Once more she gathered up her belongings nnd her dog and passed in through the gate posts and wandered up the loug drive on a tour of inspection. She walked through the paths dividing rose beds until she came to some open windows. The main entrance hall of the house seemed to be bidden away somewhere amid the tail old trVes. Peg made straight for the open win dows and walked into the most won derful looking room she had ever seen. Everything in it was old and massive. It bespoke centuries gone by in every detail. Peg held her breath as she looked around her. Pictures aud tapestries stored at her from the walls. Beautiful old vases were arranged in cabinets. The carpet was deep and soft and stifled all sound. Peg almost gave an ejaculation of surprise at the wonders of the room, when she sud denly became conscious that She was not alone in the room, that others were there and that they were talking. She looked in the direction the sounds came from and saw. to her as tonishment. a man with a woman in his arms. He was speaking to her in a most ardent manner. They were partially concealed by some statuary. Peg concluded at ouce that she hati intruded on some marital scene at which she was uot desired, so she in stantly sat down with her back to them. She tried uot to listen, but some of the words came distinctly to her. Just as she was becoming very uncomforta ble and had half made up her mind to leave the room and find somewhere else to wait she suddenly heard herself addressed and in no uncertain tone of rolce. There were indignation, sur prise and anger in Ethel's question: "How long have you been here?" Peg turned ;iround :ind saw a strik ingly handsome, beautifully dressed young lady glaring down at her. Her manner was haughty in the extrema Peg felt most unhappy as she looked at her and did uot answer Immedi ately. CHAPTER XIV. Peg In England. "f |Off long have von been here?" I I again asked Ethel of Peg. J J "Sure 1 only carue in this mlnnit." said Peg innocently and with a little note of fear. Shu was uot accustomed to Hue looking, splendidly dressed voting ladies like Ethel. "What do you want?" demanded the young lady. "Nothin ." said Peg reassuringly. "Nothing?" echoed Ethel, growing angrier every moment. "Not a thing. 1 was Just told to wait," said Peg. "Who told you?*' "A gentlemnn." replied Peg. "What gentleman?" asked Ethel sharply and suspiciously. "Just a gentleman." Peg. nfter fum bling nervously in her pocket, produced the card Air. Hitwkes had given her. which Michael immediately attempted to take possession of. Peg snatched ii away from the dog and bauded It to the young lady "He told me to wait there!" Ethel took the card Irritably and read: "'Mrs. Chichester, Kegal Villa." And what do you want with Mrs. Chiches ter?" she asked Peg. at the same time looking at the shabby clothes, the hun gry looking dog and the soiled parcel. "I don't want anything with her. 1 was Just told to wait." "Who are you?" Peg was now getting angry too. There wag no mistaking the manner the Droud younz lady. Peg chafed under it. She looked up sullenly into Ethel's face and said: "I was not to say a -wurrd, I'm tell- In' ye. I was Just to wait." Peg set tled back in the chair and stroked Michael. This questioning was not at all to her liking. She wished Mr. Hawkes would come and get her out of a uiost embarrassing position. But until he did she was not going to dis obey his instructions. He told her to say nothing, so nothing would she say. Ethel turned abruptly to Brent and found that gentleman looking at the odd little straneer somewhat adrolrijiv jy. Mie gave au impatient ejaculation and turned back to Peg quickly: "YOll say you have ouly been here a uiiuute?" "That's all," replied Peg—"just a inliiuit." "Were we talking when you came lu'r" "Ye were." Ethel could scarcely conceal her rage. "Did yon hear what we said?"' "Some of It—not much," said Peg. "What did yon hear?'" '"Please don't-it's so hot this morn inV" said Peg, with no attempt nt Imi tation. Just as if she \'cre stating a simple, ordinary occurrence. Ethel dashed scarlet. Brent smiled. "You refuse to my why you're here or who you are?" Ethel again asked. "It isn't tne that's refusin". All the geutleman said to me was: 'Ye go to the place that's written down on the card an' sit down there an' wait. An' that's all ye do.' " Ethel again turned to the perplexed Brent. "Eh?" "Extraordinary!" And Brent shook bis head. The position was unbearable. decided instantly how to relieve it She looked freezing ly down at the for lorn looking little intruder and said: "The servants' quarters are at the back of the house." • "Are they?" asked Peg without mov ing and not in any way taking the statement to refer to her. "And I may save you the trouble of waiting by telling you we are quite provided with servants. \Ye do not need any further assistance." Peg just looked nt Ethel and then bent down over Michael. Ethel's last shot had struck home. Poor Peg was cut through to her soul. How she longed at that moment to be back home with her father in New York Before she could say anything Ethel continued: "If you insist on waiting, kindly do so there." Peg took Michael up in her arms, col lected once more her packages and walked to the windows. Again she heard the cold, hard tones of Ethel's voice speaking to her: ••Follow the path to your right until you come to a door. Knock and ask permission to wait there, and for your future guidance go to the back door of a house and ring. Don't walk un announced into a private room." Peg tried to explain: "Ye see. ma'am. I didn't know. All the gentleman said was. "Go there an' wait* "That will do." "I'm sorry 1 disturbed ye." And she glanced at the embarrassed Brent. "Thnt will do!" said Ethel finally. Poor Peg nodded and wandered off through the windows sore at heart. She went down the |>nth until she reached the door Ethel mentioned. She knocked at it. While she is wait ing for admission we will return to the fortunes of the rudely disturbed lov ers (?). Ethel turned indignantly to Brent as the little ligure went off down the path. "Outrageous!" she cried. "Poor little wretch!" Brent walked to the windows and looked after her. "She's quite pretty." Ethel looked uuderstandingly at him. "Is she?" "In a shabby sort of way. Didn't yon think so':" Ethel glared coldly at him. "1 never notice the lower orders. You apparently do." "Oh. yes—often. They're very inter esting—at times." He strained to get a last glimpse of the intruder. "Do you know, she's the strangest little apparition"— "She's only a few yards away if you care to follow her!" Her tone brought Brent up sharply. He turned away from the window and found Ethel, arms folded, eyes flash ing. waiting for him. Something In her manner nlarmed him. He had gone too far. "Why. Ethel." he said as he came toward her. "Suppose ray motbor bad walked In here—or Alaric—instead of that cren ture? Never do sucli a thine again." "I was carried away," he hastened to explain. "Kindly exercise a little more re straint. You had better go now." There was a finality of dismissal in her tone as she passed him and crossed to the great staircase. He followed her: "May I call tomorrow?" "No." she answered decidedly; "not tomorrow.'" "The following day. then," he urged, "l'erhaps." "Remember, I build on you." She looked searehinglv at him. "1 suppose we are worthy of each other." Through the open windows came the Kound of voices. "Go.'-' she said Imperatively. And she passed on up the stairs. Brent went rapidly to Ihe door. Before either be could open It or Ethel go out of sight Alaric hurst in through the windows. "Hello. Brent!" he cried cheerfully. "Disturbin" ye?" And he caught Ethel as she was about to disappear. "Or jroti, Ethel?" Ethel turned and seated herself with her little white lap dog clasped in ber bands, then answered coollv: "You've not disturbed me." "I'm just going." said Brent "Well, wuit a moment." And Alaric C. E. AUGHINBAUGH THE UP-TO-DATE PRINTING PLANT | J. L. L.
