One need not have an elaborate tea

who wait for those things never enjoy
doing nice things for friends. Anyone

Tea drinking Is said to be on the in

beverage, but when made In that hap
hazard fashion 80 often demonstrated
in the average home, 1t results in the
discomfort Of headaches, sleeplessness
and nerve troubles Of various kinds.
Where, then, 10 the science I'm tea
making, you will ask. There are -
many as 20 different ingredients
found In tea, but those that concern
US chiefly are theme, alkaloid, tannin
and an aromatic oil. Theme Is the
brain stimulant which causes the &C

gredient which gives the bitter, AZ.
tringent quality, which, II taken in ex'
cess, proves harmful. The aromatic
oil, Of course, gives the flavor and
pleasant aroma which to q large ex'
tent determines the value Of the tea.
The one fact that must be borne In
mind ID that tannin will not dissolve
In hot water az quickly az theme. SO
that after an infusion of from four to
six minutes most ofythe aromatic oil
and theme will have been drawn out,
but little tannin. This is what Is
wanted to produce drink that Is
wholesome and soothing. II allowed
to brew longer than six minutes far
too much tannin Is extracted, and the
partaker will suffer in some way,
either with indigestion or some such
indisposition.

rule. II the wife is high-spirited, do
nestle clashes are the inevitable re-
suit. Would each but try to conciliate
the other, there would be fewer cases
Of going back to mother.
There are two sides to matrimonial
grievances. A woman may, and un-
doubtedly does, marry for love, but
that does not say that love will con-
tinue to smile If the husband does
his best to checkmate her affection.
It's a good thing for q man to recol-
lect that the woman he has welded
needs attention paid to her wants.
Because she is a wife that is no rea-
SOD why she should have to sit home
all the time, Just to save money, pr
because he does not want to go here
and there.
The trouble is they do not study
each others moods. It should be q
pleasure for him to give her her own
way just as often as he can. Many a
sacrifice a wife makes for her hus-
band and never thinks Of boasting
that he imagines she is in duty bound
to do It. .:
., II her beauty fails through illness,
It is most unkind Of him to let her
know that he has discovered It. Men
who make the most successsof welded
life are thesones who continue to COM

The wife needs her little book, too.
