movement this interruption OF my qulet
hour and nap I had been much upset the
evening before over the discovery that
Katie, the maid whom I had just engaged.
had once Kept house for n group of artists,
OF whom Dicky was one, acting as a model
when she was not busy with her kitchen
work, As consequence my sleep during
the night had been 1tfui.
Dicky had not added to my peace OF mind
In the morning when, after eating the really
excellent breakfast OF Katie's cooking he
had said heartily:
Well Katie, as long as you keep this up
you may be sure OF home here"
TO me later, as he bade me good-by In
the hall' he had added in an undertone:

HOUSEHOLD HELPS
About Tea and Tea Service

THERE are probably as many ways of
making tea as there are varieties of
tea. Although each houseSeeper has her
own pet way of preparing tea, not every
one has the correct way of getting the
most in flavor and fragrance by her method.
Here are three rules about tea making
that are easily remembered and will in
sure correct preparation:
Keep hot the pot in which the tea is
to be made.
Use freshly boiled water.
Serve the tea Immediately. The tea in
fusion should not be allowed to stand
longer than five minutes before 1t is served.
IL the tea leaves are permitted to re-
main in the hot water longer than FIVE
minutes. moro tannin Is drawn out, and
the more tannin that is developed the
more does the tea harm digestion, and the
less fragrant flavor does IL contain.
To make tea after the Russian method
add four teaspoonfuls of tea to one quart
OF boiling water. Let stand for two min
utes, then stir with a spoon and let stand
two minutes more. Serve Immediately, ad-
ding a thin slice of lemon which may be
stuck with a Glove. II desired
The teapot should be of china, silver
or earthenware, but never of tin, as the
tannin in tea combines sometimes with
metal elements like tin.
II tea Is to be served for only one or
two persons. possibly the best arrangement
is the teapot with a tea-ball The pot and
ball should first be heated, either by pouring
boiling water over them or by placing i'm
a hot oven Very often the tea.ball will
be allowed to remain In the water in the
teapot during the course of the meal and as
a consequence some one gets a cup of tea
In which tea leaves have been brewing for
ten or fifteen minutes and more. 1t is
therefore, necessary to make sure that the
tea-ball is not inside the boiling water in
the teapot.
Pour the water into each tea cup, then
drop the tea-ball into each cup for a few
minutes or until the color shows the desired
strength of the tea
The choice of tea depends on personal
taste for fiavors The tea we know In
this country comes in many varieties,
but the most generally used are black,
English breakfast, which is really n
Souchong and, as a matter Of fact un-
known by that name in England; mixed
tea which is a blend of black and green
leaves; Ceylon and India. which are black
teas; oolong. which is green-blacl, green
or "gunpowder" Young Hyson and a light
green Japan tea known as Japan. Then
there are the fancy varieties such as Pekoe.
Orange Pekoe Cthe choicest and tenderest
leaves) and a large variety of scented teas.
Teas are scented by placing the leaves with
flowers A special Chinese flower with a
fragrance similar to our American Jasmine
Is preferred.
oddly enough, we in this country re-

tradesmen who so evidently needed the
money?
There must be some mistake" I said,
looking at the man. II am sure Mr.. Ora
ham cannot know about this or he would
have paid II long before this"
Il am sorry to say IT, Mrs. Graham, but
Mr Graham does know H. In fact he
stopped sending his clothes TO me to be
cleaned and pressed last summer because
asked him for the bill You see l didn't
know he had guests when I came TO his

me then could walt till--well--ma am,

But Mr.. Touraine was looking at the

SLOWLY, or perhaps you wouldn't mind
giving me part of the money. You see,
collections are 20 bad and times are so
hard / have very little ready money, and

The embarrassed flush on his face was
not as deep as the one on my own. Here
Dicky and | had every comfort and many
or the luxuries, and this poor tradesman,
to whom DiclSy owed money long due was
reduced 10 such straits.

him. and, indeed. the very sight OF the
money was hateful to me. Give me the

bills and put them in his pocket and made
me an old-fashioned bow.
