Gauging The Tea.

A belated society tale goes back
ward to the season when Harry Lehr
was courting the lady who is now
his wife, says the New York Times.
One day Mrs, Dahlgren accident
ally dropped "a ten-dollar bill into a
team urn which had just undergone
inspection in anticipation of coming
guests. When these guests arrived
Mr.. Lehr was among them. The
hostess had forgotten her bank note
in the urn, and innocently brewed
her tea. All noted the peculiar fla
vor, but drank it bravely. The cause
OF their secret mystifcation might
have gone politely undiscovered had
not the hostess proceeded to give a
lecture on the subject of brewing
tea. She removed the lid of the urn
to illustrate her point and revealed
not tea leaves, but a ten dollar bill.
She was appalled,. The urn and all
the cups were sent away. She made
profuse apologies and insisted upon
serving each Of her visitors with a
fresh cup when the new supply ap-
peared. When it came the turn OF
Mr.. Lehr she asked:
How will you have it? Strong?".
Not quite so strong as the last,
replied Mr.. Lehr. Make it So.75,
please"

Sa;iable desire to smoke and would
dive into the sack and replenish his

But she will go out on the hottest
