II is such rare thing to be served a
cup of good tea In hotels and restaur-
ants that comment is made il 1t is
good, rather than If 1t is poor. There
may be several reasons for this
First-The tea may be of very in
ferior quality to begin with.
Second-The tea may be good but
spoiled in the making.
Third-The tea may be old and have
lost its freshness, strength and flavor
Fourth-The failure to serve a pitcher
of hot water with every pot or cup of
tea, so that If too strong, hot water
may be added to suit the taste
Fifth-1t is rarely IL ever served hot
and warm tea does not mean hot tea.
Where one has formed the tea
habit he is much more "finicky" about
the flavor of tea than the coffee drinker

Frederick means Princess of Peace.
Freda is q contraction of the longer
name come to us, apparently. all the
way from Friesland, where il is spelled
freda and pronounced Frada.
Freddie is the correct English dimin-
utive, though FRITZ has been taken
over from German or rather the Aus
TRAN vernaeular, ewing to the popular
ity of Il certain comic opera star.
fritzin is the more grammatical
German pet name, but like the other
not al all popular in the E'atherland.
Popular forms are: Rike pronounced
Reekel and Rillchen pronounced REX
PAM.

The original Frithswith was Lady

story is partly told in stained glass

was Lady Patroness of that edifice and
