when it reached the hands of the
weary editor, who had been bonn

he promptly sent it back, with the
following terse and businesslike in

I advise those who consult me
upon the tired complexion to in
dulge in what is called the English
beauty cup. Mr.. Gladstone took it
each night Of his life as long as he
had health, and it is the cup which
keeps many an English beauty 60
ing. It is simply tea, but tea made
without the nerve destroying at
tributes. If properly made it in
vites sleep.
You take half a small coffee
spoon Of tea, and you scatter it in
the bottom of q very large cup.
The German coffee cups are best
for this purpose. Over this you
pour as much boiling, bubbling wa
ter as the cup will hold.
The saucer is placed on the top
of the cup in Chinese fashion. Now
comes the big wadded tea cozy,
which must be thrown over all. It
is an oddly shaped cozy, made to
cover cup and saucer. Itstands for
five minutes to steep.
Now comes the scientific part of
the cup. You take three very thin
slices of lemon, and you lay them
in a big hot cup. On top of the
slices of lemon you place a big
maraschino, and then on top Of all
you pour in the tea, putting it
through strainer.
The result will be a fine, weak,
hot, but healthful cup of tea with
just the right flavor of lemon. You
can have sugar if you want it, and
Gladstone's rule of three big Jumps
will do you no harm, for sugar is
great builder up of the muscles.
By the way, if you are tagged out,
day or night, try eating little
sugar. A lump Of sugar will re-
store the stomach and take away
that tired feeling. Sugar is recon-
mended to women whose cheeks are
hollow. 1t has way of building up
tissue.
A big cup of tea at night is ex-
cellent, but the trouble is that most
persons make it too strong. The
weaker the better. The same is true
Of coffee, which, if taken weak
enough and with plenty of good
sugar, acts as a nightcap. Not one
person in a thousand can make it
right. In Paris the French beauty
takes her foaming cup Of whipped
chocolate after the theater with
biscuit, or she sips her cafe au lait,
which is mostly milk. - London

Bright as the Fire.
When Crewe Hall was burning the
late Lord Crewe, father of the pres
ent earl, displayed a humorous
equanimity which St. James Bud
get deems worthy of preservation in
print.
When the historic mansion, with
its works Of art, rare manuscripts,
ar1nor and other treasures, was
blazing away Lord Crewe ordered q
footman to place q table on the
lawn and bring him IN inkstand and
some telegraph forms. he then sat
down and composedly wrote this
telegram to Street, the Royal acad-
emician:
Dear Street-C1ewe is burning.
Come and build it up again"
To his sister he sent anotker mes
sage by wire:
"You always used to say this was
q cold house. You wouldn't say %
Il you could see Il now"
