ter is left on the leaves is of the ut
most Importance, for at the end of
three minutes the theme is all in soIu-
ton while very little tannin or other
deleterious matter has escaped from
the leaves, as they are much longer in
dissolving. What little tannin acid has
come out in the three minutes is by the
addition of milk made harmless, form
ing a compound called tannate Of al
bumen.
Since no further quantity of the valu-
able theme can come from the leaves it
stands to reason that all other water
poured on the leaves makes a solution
of injurious properties very harmful
and entirely without value as a drink.
That is why the second cup Of tea. the
average hostess offers you is hurtful
to the system and is the principal cause
for the bad repute in which tea is held
by many persons.
If it is desired to make suf7cient tea
to supply each person with a second cup
this may easily be done by drawing of
the remainder of the brew after the
cups have been filed into a fresh, warm
teapot. An urn larger than the teapot
brings about this end in the easiest
manner.

Gaping the ground all round.
A delightful dahlia broadcloth princess
frock has an old fashioned trimming on
the skirt, consisting of three rows of
satin a shade lighter than the cloth,
arranged in knife plaitings caught
tightly about an inch from the bottom
These plaitings were headed with
stitched bands of velvet. The bodice
was adorned with the same plaitings,
arranged in a zouave about an enpieee-
ment of lace trimmed with tiny velvet
bows. At the bust this vest finished
with crossed ends of velvet, fastened
with rosettes of silk.
Hand embroideries are used galore
on semitatlored gowns, done on satin,
silk and gold gauze, which is the new
est material for this beautiful work.
Exquisite blendings of narrow silk
braid trim many of the dressy little
bolero jackets and frock bodices. One
charming afternoon gown Of deep wine
red chiffon velvet has its skirt disposed
in tiny tucks over the hips. The foot
trimming is an odd combination of mar
row coiored braids-deep red, pale yell
low, light blue and bIack-inserted at
wide intervals around the jupe in cone
shaped forms. The bodice boasts. as do
most Of the smart waists, q yoke Of some
thin white material In this instance
flet net was used, with a box plait Of
braid trimmed black satin running
down the front A tiny turnover COL
lar of satin run with lines of the braid
was a becoming neck finish. The short
| sleeves had turned back cuffs of braid
trimmed satin.
All the calling gowns Of the season
have slight "dips" in the back that are
very graceful and attractive. Cloth

style is first favorite. Paquin is show

shade of gray broadcloth. The skirt is
full and plated from the short bodice,
which has incroyabIe revers and a belt
OF white satin elaborately embroidered
in black and white silks, touched here
and there with gold braid. The effect
is simple and elegant, and the wrap is
not too important for a number Of day
occasions.

the tape with which it Is tied project
ing out of the pot. This bag can then
be withdrawn at the proper time, leav-
ing a pot of bracing, refreshing tea
from which to fill the cups.
Should there be any doubts in the
minds Of old fashioned housewives who
pass over any new notion as 'foolery''
a very simple experiment will convince
the most doubling OF Thomases- If a
glass is filed from a pot of tea at the
expiration of three minutes the liquid
is clear and amber colored, while an
other glass filed from the same pot
after a lapse of time gives an evil
smelling compound almost black in
color. If these two glasses are left
standing for a night the right and
healthful brew may be thrown from
the glass, leaving it. practically clear,
while the dark liquid win stain the
glass and cling about the Sides thus
giving one a very good impression Of
the harmful results from improper
brewing.
Mrs. Jones is right in saying that tea
is refreshing, but not as it is generally
brewed, and many a patient has to go

bad liver and disordered stomach. only

glass from cracking. The charm of the
crystal teapot lies not wholly in its
beauty. for there is the additional ad-
vantage that the teamaker can see the
exact quantity and quality she has on
hand.
The eonnoisseur in tea always pre-
fers to take it clear, holding that it's
flavor is too delicate to stand any ad-
mixture except the slice Of lemon our
Russian friends have taught US to use
Milk should never be used with tea
Cream and sugar are Just allowable
but the cream, and only a few drops
of the richest, should be put in the cup
and the tea poured into it instead, as is
too often the case, added after the tea
is poured.
A pretty maraschino cherry or a slice
of pineapple is a proved addition to the
afternoon cup of tea. The cherries or
pineapples are passed in an attractive
silver bowl with silver bonbon tongs
laid on top of the same tray with the
lemon, cream and sugar for each guest
to take his choice. No lemon is used
with pineapple, and the lemon served
with the tea is cut in slices, and the
slices are quartered. Other tea ahini-
ties are thin biscuits spread with cheese
or cheese straws.
