In the course of Mr.. Mltchell's off,

here, he has to taste cup after cup of
tea. AS a tea-taster, his decisions must
largely be made. There are various
ways In which tea can be tasted and

Consider the predicsment Of George
F. Mitchell, supervising tea examiner

courtesy and southern-bred traditions
of chivalry toward the gentler sex pull
him In one direction, stern sense Of
official duty in the opposite.
Mr.. Mitchell Is an important man in
the tea world. one of the most impor-
tant in the United States and all the
other countries of the globe. He is the
authority on tea duties in this nation,
and when he says thus and SO of the
quality of tea, 1t Is thus and so.
If Mr.. Mitchell thinks a given impop
tation Of tea is of such and such quail
ity and should pay duty accordingly,
the matter is practically settled. Va

none out-knows him about tea and his
say-so accordingly goes.
