TO SERVE SUMMER DRINKS
Dainty Sets of iced Tea and Other
Drinks Are Now Found
In Shops.

The shopkeepers are not slow to
realize that well-appointed services for
iced tea will tempt the housekeeper
who wishes to serve it correctly Even
if she does not indulge in a whole set
she longs for at least a set of glasses
or set Of iced tea spoons.
The set contains, first Of all, an iced
teapot, which Is shaped like tall
narrow teapot, and Is made of glass
with silver mountings. A lemon dish
a sugar dish and bucket for cropped
ices are made to match. The iced tea
glasses are made OF fairly heavy glass,
with handles attached we'll toward the
bottom.
A set consisting of a heavy Cister-
clan walnut tray, an iced teapot, an
Ice bucket, sugar dish, q lemon hold
or and six glasses, all in etched glass
with silver mountings. and six sterling
silver iced tea spoons cost over $92.
A similar set in Colonial glass costs
$82.
The set can be broken, however.
The Colonial glasses cost, for half a
dozen, $3.50. The spoons, which are
long and graceful and may be used for
other cold drinks as well, cost $3.50
a dozen in sterling silver. In the best
quality of plated silver they cost from
$3.50 to SIS a dozen. They are almost
a necessity for the summer hostess,
who realizes the inadequacy, of the
short teaspoon for the tall iced tea
glass.

Sense Of hunor is another strong
trait OF Emperor Franz Josef. One day.
unannounced, FAM Josef visited the
military academy at Wiener-Neustadt,
entered a classroom and, saying to the
officer hearing recitation: Don't let
me disturb you" took seat. On the
bench behind him he put his generals
hat, crowned with Its bush OF long
straight feathers. a boy eyed the
green plumes, then olviy stretched his
hand out and plucked one. EmboldeneG
by success, he took four, and would
have taken the rest had he not
touched his emperors arm in the
process
What are you doing that for?"
asked Franz Josef, viewing the de-
pleted bunch.
For a souvenir" the boy suffered
But why so many?"
My comrades would each want one,
too" was the frank response
Well, suppose there is no way out
Of it but to give you the whole lot"
said the emperor, by this time laugh
ing heartily as he tore loose the bush.
Turning to the teacher. whose frown
Of horror had been lost on the small
boy, his majesty remarked, But, cap
tain, you must kindly lend Sne your
cay to go home in. Pictorial Review.

not give up coffee, as cousin Of mine

But Mother was such slave to coffee

TIPS ON MAKING ICED TEA
TWO Methods, Both Of Which Have
Their Exponents, Are Fully
Explained.

There is probably no drink more re-
freshing and certainly none that can
be more attractively served than iced
tea. 1t can be made before 1T is need
ed and kept on hand. always chilled,
In the Ice box, or it can be made at a
moments notice, provided there is
plenty Of ice. plenty Of fresh boiling
water and the right sort of tea at
hand
There are two methods of making
iced tea, and both have their expon-
ents. One says to put cracked ice in
glass and then put In q slice or so
of lemon, and. if sweetness is liked,
sufficient number OF Jumps of sugar.
Then make tea, rather strong, with
freshly boiling water. After the wa
ter has stood on the grounds for four
or five minutes, pour the tea on the
Ice. safeguard against broken
glasses is to put spoon in each glass.
The spoon serves as a conductor OF
heat
The other method for making iced
tea is more economical, for, according
to it, the tea is made and poured into
big bottle, fruit jar or covered jug
or pitcher, when 1t is sufficiently
strong, and then stood in the ice box
until it is thoroughly chilled Slices
Of lemon and sugar can be added be-
fore or after it is served, and little
chopped ice adds not only to the deli
ciousness, but also to the sound of the
tea-and nothing is more suggestive
of refreshment when the mercury is
climbing than the sound of tinkling
ice and glass

interesting and instructive viciss-
tudes of Persian in the Cellars
of the opera-The Persian's Mar
rative.
1t was the first time that | entered
the house on the lake. l had often
begged the 'trap-door lover" as We
used to call Erik In my country, to
open its mysterious doors to me. He
always refused. l made very many
attempts, but in vain, to obtain ad-
mtttance. Watch him as | might,
after | first learned that he had taken
up his permanent abode at the opera,
the darkness was always too thick to
enable me to see how he worked the
door In the wall on the lake. One
day, when l thought myself alone, 1
stepped into the boat and rowed to-
ward that part of the wall through
which l had seen Erik disappear. 1t
was then that l came into contact
with the siren who guarded the ap-
proach and whose charm was very
nearly fatal to me.
| had no sooner put off from the
bank than the silence amid which l
foated on the water was disturbed by
sort of whispered singing that how
cred all around me. 1t was half
breath, half music; it rose softly from
the waters Of the lake; and | was sur
rounded by 1t through l knew not
what artitice 1t followed me, moved
with me and was so soft that it did
not alarm me. On the contrary, in
my longing to approach the source OF
that sweet and enticing harmony, |
leaned out of my little boat over the
water, for there was no doubt in my
mind that the singing came from the
water itself. BY this time, | was
alone In the boat in the middle of the
lake; the vOice-for it was now dis

Then a stone gave way. leaving a

Then stone gave way. leaving q
hole in the wall
This time, the Persian took his
pistol from his pocket and made a
sign to Raoul to do as he did. He
cooked the pistol.
And, resolutely, still on his knees,
he wiggled through the hole in the
wall. Raoui, who had wished to pass
first. had to be content to follow him.
The hole was very narrow. The
Persian stopped almost at once
Raoul heard him feeling the stones
around him. Then the Persian took
out sis dark lantern again, stopped
forward, examined something beneath
him and Immediately extinguished his
lantern. Raoul heard him say, in a
whisper:
1--WE shall have to drop few
yards, without making a noise; take
off your boots"
The Persian handed his own shoes
to Raoul.
Put them outside the WALL" he
said. eve shall find them there when
we leave"
He crawIed little farther on his
knees, then turned right round and
said:
Il am going to hang by my hands
from the edge of the stone and let
myself drop into his house. You
must do exactly the same. Do not be
afraid | will catch you In my arms"
Raoul soon heard dull sound, evil

Persian, and then dropped down.
He felt himself cIasped In the Per-
slams arms.
Hush" said the Persian.
And they stood mOtionless, listen

The darkness was thick around
them, the silence heavy and terrible.
Then the Persian began to make
play with the dark lantern again,
turning the rays over their heads,
looking for the hole through which
they had come, and falling to find it.
OH" he said. The stone has
closed of itself"
And the light of the lantern swept
down the wall and over the floor.
The Persian stopped and picked up
something, sort of cord, which he
examined for a second and flung
away with horror.
The Punjab lassoi" he muttered.
What is it," asked Raoul.
The Persian sh1vered. 1T might
very well be the rope by which the
man was hanged, and which was

And, suddenly seized with fresh
anxiety, he moved the little red disk
of his lantern over the walls In this
way, he lit up curious thing: the
trunk Of a tree, which seemed still
quite alive, with its leaves; and the
branches Of the tree ran right up the
walls and disappeared in the ceiling
Because of the smaIlness of the
luminous disk, it was difficult at first
to make out the appearance Of things:
they saw corner of a branch /.
and a leaf and another leaf
and, next to 1t, nothing at all,
nothing but the ray of light that
seemed to reflect itself. Raoul
passed his hand over that nothing,

Persian, in a tone Of deep emotion.
