of everyday life that was at all out of the

The tea table, for instance, afforded ample
scope for the play of superstition in the feminine
mind. If when the tea was made the lid was
forgotten for a few minutes it was sure sign
that some one would drop in to tea.

with cup of tea she would be married within
