In preparing iced tea for luncheon or
dinner be careful that you do not have
It too strong. When tea is cold its
strength is not so noticeable as when
warm, and one is prone to drink too
much of it in warm weather. The very
best way TO prepare iced tea is to have
the tea moderate in strength and serve
with lemons and sugar a la Russo.
Two slices of lemon will be sufficient
to flavor glass of tea. For very nerv-
Gus people it is best to dispense with
this pleasant beverage altogether and
to drink lemonade in it's stead. This
latter is one of the most cooling and
healthful of drinks, and can not be too
strongly recommended. 1t is a vslua-

be tween the rows of bulbs, OF course

barons and princes, and were, more
over, exposed to the perpetual terror
of all-the everlasting hell fire. A
