The Grand Duke-Bah! (Swears
softly on his way to the stables.)
But the princess had in her mind
a plan which, had it gone through
safely, would have added many gray
hairs to the dukes scanty collection.
It was a mighty ingenious plan, to5,
for a woman to figure out.
In his attitude toward the girl the
duke stood alone. Behind his back his
ministers wore out their shoes in wait
ing on the caprices of the girl, while
the grand duchess. half-blind and half
deaf, openly worshiped her willful but
wholly adorable niece, and abetted her
in all her escapades. So far as the
populace was concerned, she was the
daughter of the favorite son, dead
these IS years, and that was enough
for them. Whatever she did was right
and proper. But the hard-headed duke
had the power to say what should be
what, and he willed it that the Prin-
cess Hildegarde should marry his cid
comrade in arms, the Prince of Dop-
pelkinn.

TEA FROM THE FLOWERS.
This Product Little Known in the
United States.

Tea, not from leaves, but from the
flowers alone of the plant. is rarely en-
countered in commerce. The petals.
stamens, etc, are sun dried, and the
resulting tea is Of a rich, deep brown
hue of peculiarly delicate odor, and
gives q pale amber colored infusion
rather more astringent in taste than
that from the average fair grade leaf.
The taste for it is an acquired onS,,
and even if this tea could be made
commercially possible, it is doubtful if
it would ever become popular.
The American tea trade could adj
vantageously take a suggestion from
the brick tea of the far east. In our
country, the tea dust, some of which
is good quality, is not properly
utilized. In Europe it is regular
article of trade, and it is advertised
and sold as tea dust In America it is
sold to thousands of cheap restau-
rants, who make from it the mixture
Of tanic acid, sugar and boiled milk
which they sell as tea" IT, as in the
orient, this dust was compressed into
bricks, good tea could be made from

of American make, and the manufac-
t,,rers wrote to me personally that
they considered themselves grossly in
suited over the action of the duke.
Diplomatic notes were exchanged, and
| finally prevailed upon the duke to
state that he held the wheel harmless
and that his anger had been directed
solely against his niece. This letter
was duly forwarded to the manufac-
turers, who, after the manner of their
kind, carefully altered the phrasing
and used it in their magazine adver-
tisements. They were so far appeased
that they offered me my selection from
the private stock. Happily the duke
never read anything but the Fliegende
Batter and Jugend, and thus war was
averted.
Later an automobile agent viSited
the town-at the secret bidding of her
highness-but he was so unceremo-
niously hustled over the frontier that
his teeth must have ratified like a
dancers castanets. 1t was a great
country for expeditiousness, as you
will find, if you do me the honor to
follow me to the end.
So the grand duke swore that his
niece should wed Doppelllinn, and the
princess vowed that she would not.
The man who had charge of my horses
said that one of the palace maids had
recounted to him a dialogue which
had taken place between the duke and
his niece. AS 1 was anxious to be off
on the road I was compelled to listen
to his gossip.
The Grand Duke-In two months
time you shall wed the Prince of Dop-
pelkinn.
The Princess-What! that old red
nose? Never! l shall marry only
where l love.
The Grand Duke-Only where you
love! (Sneers.) One would think, to
hear you talk, that you were capable
of loving something.
The Princess-You have yet to
learn. l warn you not to force me. l
promise to do something scandalous.
