Andrew II. Green, the president of the parent

sympathy with the lines Of work laid out by the

how strtfng- were the differences between the

was wide and red and sadly tumbed- He sat with
moody broWs at the gathering as if he ioathed its
frtvolty and scorned its simple diversions.
Another difference observed was in the refresh
nents. Men sat around the little tables drinking
tea other men drink beer whiskey, 10 the
obvious advantage of the jewellers. At some of
the tables women-their wives sweethearts-sat
with the men. and of course. drank tea, also cup
after cup. The Russian mode OF brewing is to
make strong essence by infgsIng a large qnan- qt

puts sugar into his cup. He bites piece he
sips his tea In all Russian households the eS-
cups are drunk through the day, every chance
