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.

Do you think that your need for fresh air diminishes with the arrival of th» first cold wave? If so, , you are greatly mistaken. If the thought of wide open windows in zero weather is appalling, pluck up courage and try a small dose first. You • will find that it is far better to spend ! more money for blankets and comfort- j ables than for doctor bills and medi cine. and eight hours' sleep in cool, fresh, invigorating air is a far better stimulant than anything that comes in bottles. 110 matter what the claims on : the label.

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.

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.
