and wiped her eyes, and the light

Miss Purcell started in round eyed
amazement as her richly dressed Gus

in her arms. "Oh, mother, We've
searched everywhere for you. When

thought to ask: But jim? Isn't he

car and such lovely clothes? All these

Her daughter laughed happily. Poor?
It's evident you don't keep up with art,

The little white haired woman nestled
back in the soft cushions with a sigh
of happiness and patted her daugh-

Europe is at war, and the winter is on,
the commissary department of every
warning nation is bending its every
energy to keep the Soldiers in the
trenches well supplied with tea. Tea
may be useless. may be even harmful.
but. nevertheless, it is wonderful
thing.
While it is being used in the trenches
of Belgium. France and Poland to keep
the soldiers warm for their bloody
work. in the United States ii is more
and more coming into daily use as an
excuse for an afternoon let-up in the
ceaseless drive of life-an introduction
into the American hurry Of a new note
of rest and leisure. For among the
many advantages that tea boasts over
4 highball, not the least is that it must
be drunk slowly and with decent leis-
ure. A cup of tea at o'clock is a
grateful thing and reStful.

TEA DRINKING.
By Frederic ]. Haskin.

Are We Americans about to become a
tea drinking people? For a generation
we have drunk more coffee than any
other people, but our coffee consump-
tion is falling away and our tea con-
sumption is increasing, as coffee is
dropped from the evening and midday
meal and confined to breakfast, and as
tea is being introduced at lunches and
as the piece de resistance of a new
meal-afternoon tea.
Time was when we took coffee, and
sometimes two or three cups of it. for
We abolished supper. moved dinner up
to the evening, and invented a new
midday meal which we called luncheon.
Coffee was a central feature of the
luncheon menu, but at dinner it
dropped to the small post-prandial cup.
Gradually. We began to leave off cof-
fee for lunch in hot weather, and 1t
was then that we took the English
mans cup of tea with Russian slice
of lemon and put ice into it, evolving
distinctly American use for tea.
When the weather got cold again it
seemed easier to have hot tea than
to go back to Coffee and thus. slowly,
slowly. tea has been pushing coffee out
oi tne way at all the meal times but
break akfaSt.
But for long years we laughed at
the Englishman who insisted upon his
tea at or 4:30. we couldn't
understand the custom, and we COW
cred with ridicule any Anglomaniac
American who so much as dared to
follow at home the custom he had
picked up in Britain.
But as the dinner hour was gradual
ly pushed from 6 to to $50, and then
to O'Clock, real need for "a little
something around 4 or ) o'clock was
felt. AT firSt-and this has to do with
the Atlantic seaboard cities, where the
dinner hour was first pushed up-the
American demand for a little some
thing meant cocktails or "highballs,' -
ham or cheese as might appertain to
the particular free-Iunch counter of
the particular barroomI of the particu-
lar day.

But it is only since electric cooking
utensils came in and the tea dansant
became popular that American office
men have had the courage to make
and drink tea at 4:30 in their offices.
The whole thing is so new. and
Americans are so much inclined to
make fun of anything new, that it
would be cruel to name names. but in
Washington alone there are not less
than fifty government offices where tea
is served at closing time. 4:30. as reg
ularly and as naturally as it turns up

With a decline in the cocktail habit
and the highball habit. We must look
for a great increase in the tea habit.
Its visible evidences are already nu-
merouS. In almost every city little tea
rooms are springing up like mushrooms.
and, while many of them soon perish,
there are more and more successes and
fewer and fewer failures. 1t is not too
much to say that, in ten years we may

for little something. And if any
body had had the nerve to tell him
that five years later he would be TAX
ing tea the consequences probably
would have been fatal.
But now the same man leaves his Of
| flee at 4:30 and deliberately goes to a
tearoom and drinks tea and eats lady
like sandwiches with lettuce garnish-
ments without the slightest shame or
embarrassment. OF course, he is not yet
willing to admit that it is the tea he
cares for-it is the dancing that goes
with the tea. But everybody doesn't
dance, contrary to the dictum of a late
popular song, and, as a matter of fact,
more people are drinking tea in the
afternoons with dancing for an excuse
than are dancing.
The insidious growth of the cult of
the cup that cheers, but not inebriates,
is to be traced through the great office
buildings of the eastern cities. In
London, as every one knows, tea is
served at ones desk at tea time, quite
regardless of any other considerations.

Orientals Drink Tea
All Through the Day

ers of China furnish water thatis death
to drink in the raw state. 1t must be
boiled. Boiled water is fiat, but boiled
water with a few tea leaves in it is
most palatable. Hence, in China, no
native ever drinks water, but be drinks
tea the whole day through. The same
thing is true to a large extent of India
and Japan, so that in the orient a
great population, comprising more than
half of the people on the globe. drinks
tea regularly all through the day
The next greatest nation in numbers
is Russia, and Russians lag but little
behind the Chinese as consumers of tea,
for. while they nay not drink it as
often. they drink an infusion so much
stronger that they actually use more
tea per capita than the Chinese. For
centuries before the Transsiberian rail-
way opened up communication between
the orient and the occident, huge cara
vans of camels marched across the Cobb
desert carrying tea to Russia-tea CON-
pressed into bricks just like plug to-
bacco. Even the railway has not stop
ped these caravans.
In the damp climate of Britain the
warm and cheering cup of tea found n
hearty welcome, and there it has
reigned supreme against the unavail-
ing assaults of coffee, and in spite of
the national taste for beer and spirits
1t is impossible to conceive of Britain
without tea.

forbids such words as sucking" or

to move out where we can raise hens
