SUGGESTIONS ABOUT TEA.
Quaint Ideas Concerning the Cup That
Cheers, but Does Not Inebriate.


There are probably more quaint super
stitions woven about tea than about any
thing else in the world. II you put
cream in your cup before the sugar, II
will "oross your love- " so you must be
very careful. If, while the tea is being
made, the lid, removed to pour in the
water, is forgotten to he Replaced, it is
the sure sign of the approaching arrival
of stranger.
If tea stalk floss IN tba cap, it l.
called "beau, and WI % tlls i, s,'ea
unmarried women should = ta"ir IT,
very quickly round anl rou AL ia
hold the spoon upright in t.ir e.u.er
the cup.
If the beau" is at,acholtptaespa .a
and cliEgs to it, he Viii H. aufe To c1ls
very shortly, if not ON that yeHy eyeH=
ing, but if the s'alll eoos ~ the side %.
the cup, no will not come Ia s3mt
places this is aso said to denote the
coming Of n stranger, and if the stalk
Is soft the newcomer will be "a lady; If
tough, a gentleman.
II you want to know how many years
will elapse before you are married,
balance your spoon on the edge of your
cup, first noting that it is perfectly dry,
fill another spoon with tea, and holding
it above the balanced spoon let the
drops of tea gather to the tip Of the
spoon and gently fall into the bowl of
the ono below. Count the drops. Each
one stands for year
If the cluster of small air bubbles
formed by the sugar collect and remain
in thecenter - the cup, it is sign of
fair weather - they rush to the sides,
there will be rain very shortly.
