THE astringent property pos
sessed by tea leaves and their
quick power to invigorate the
system have been perhaps the
main causes in making tea pop
ular beverage the world over. The
tannin the leaves contain is the prin-
cipal quality on which the invigorat-
ing properties depend Yet in the or
binary woods there are plants whose
leaves possess these same properties
which in many instances have been
used as substitutes for tea. The won
der, indeed. is not that they have been
of such service in the past, but that
they are not more generally used at
all times.
The most noted of these wild tea
plants is the so-called New Jersey tea
or red root. which appears as a low
growing bush through many wood
lands. In June and July il bears its
delicate white blossoms in great abund-
ance. They grow densely in fat
topped clusters, while the leaves OF
the plant are oblong with three dis
tinct lines running through them.
Underneath they are slightly downy.
An infusion of these leaves turns

I is through watching the details of
new gowns that women with nimble
fingers are often able to give to
their old ones the cachet of smart
ness. This season it would seem that
any one with taste for fancy stitches
might delight in the various lattice
works which can be so advantageously
used in renovating old gowns. Simply
slash them into a new and desired
shape and put them together again
with lattice work instead of with un-
Interesting seams. Lattice work, in
deed, appears on gowns of both light
and heavy materials. while Doucet OF
Paris shows a preference for their be-
ing made of worsted instead of silk
thread of the stuff of the gown. Should
a hounce of fanciful shape be placed at
the bottom of the skirt its means of at
taching might well be the worsted lat
tice. The flare of the flounce can also
be accentuated by slashing it at gradu-
ated intervals and using the worsted
lattice to hold the cut cloth together.
The worsted used to make the lattice
is of the double zephyr sort. A slight
ly complicated catstitch makes an at
tractive lattice work, while those of
Louis XIV design are made by simply
tying the worsted where the slanting

to form another fiounce. The effect OF
this trimming is charmingly chic, while
at the same time, as it is of taffeta, 1t

the skirt. A straight row of them is

on the skirt itself
The taffeta skirt on which eyelet en-

wear with afternoon frocks, whether Of

mentation being wrought in the silk

During the Revolution, when owing
to political difficulties the drinking oe

Thrifty housewives had bags full OF
its dried leaves hung in their garrets

heighten its flavor.
