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. Vet there are thou
sands of persons making tea many i

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.

may be that your fe'low workers or
employers are not wise enough to ap
preciate the value from a business
standpoint of good ventilation in the
workrooms. 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.

(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
