Supper.

Nothing makes a tea-table so cozy as
bubbling kettle. The only wonder is that
any one shoulddispense with the luxury.
What with its shining copper sides reflect
ing your smile, its glaring fame, gas-fed
or alcohol-fed, its hiss of blue steam, its
hom"-like singing, everything about it is
suggestive aud delightful. And what
good tea it makes when all the old-fash-
ioned rules are observed the no: cups,
the drop in each saucer, the freshly
scalded pot, the water caught at the
happy moment of boiling, the judicious
stecping osefiihe lamp tOh There is
nothing like il. No Irish Biddy ever
finds the knaek. "Catch people making
good tea onttot the room where they are
going to drink it themselves" says
Charles Reed. Ard he Ia right.
And then il the kitchen fire is low or
the cook out or sulky, the same spirit
lamp or gas jet can bo made to do further
duty. For, in spite OF the laws of health,
people will sometimes grow tired OF
sweetmeats, and they demand "a morsel

consider il fan TO stir the scrambled egg
carefully about the shining dish, while
mamma pours tea, or to thicken the cream
for dipped toast, or frizzle the crisp slices
of dried beef with little butter And
small hungry noses all around will sniff
the appetizipg gale, and petitions will be
put in by small voices for little BIT,
