Holland tea Is served in almost every
household. just before going to bed.
In the Orient, when you attend a
formal dinner you will find that when
the hostess wishes to bring her party

In America tea lovers have been
protected from impure and unwhole-
some tea since 1897 Last month a
party Of seven met met in New York
to test tea. They brewed many kinds
in order to test the odor and flavor
Of each. After a week of this they an
nounced to the Secretary of Agricul-
ture the results and their ideas on the
matter.
These seven men constitute what is
known as the United States Tea
Board. Each member is an expert on
this commodity, with a fine sense of
what makes for quality. One is a
representative of the Federal Gov
ernment, the other six are from the
tea trade.
Ten types Of tea were selected by
the board last month as standards for
all types Of tea to be imported into
the United States for the year be-
ginning in May, 1888. This isn't all
the protection an American gets,
either, for the same Federal act that
sets up this Tea Board also provides
for inspection at all the principal
ports Of entry. These inspectors have
to test samples Of all tea imported,
to see that they meet the standards
set by the board.
Each year the tea board meets to
set the standards. making any neces-
sary changes from year to year. The
Bureau Of Home Economics of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture says that this program Of tea in
spection has become so effective that
very little has to be rejected each
year. For the fiscal year ending June
80, 1887, this amounted to less than
one-tenth Of per cent Of the total
tea examined. The chief reason for
this small percentage of rejected tea
is that tea importers and shippers see
to it that their tea meets Government
standards before sending it to the
United States.
\ X \
II Asst year the total tea imports Of
the United States were the Sec
ond largest since 1929. This was more
than 81 500 900 pounds of tea, classi-
fed under about 40 different designa-
tions referring to varieties or geo.
graphical names.
Since all the tea in this country
is imported, the shopper may rest as
sured that any tea she buys Is pure
and wholesome. 1t has passed the
minimum Government standards for
cup quality and purity.
But the wise shopper will want tea
that is something more. She'll want
it to have favor and odor appealing
to her taste. About the only way to
make sure of this is to try various
kinds of tea.
"All teas are classified into three
general divisions-the black or fully
fermented, the green or unfermented
and the oolong or seml-fermented.

"HERE used to be q popular

Beautiful Cloak Model in
Il which, after the villain had
beaten and thrown knives and taken
potshots at the heroine; set fire to the
house in which she was sleeping !;
thrown her off Of a railroad bridge
into turbulent river, and tied her on
the railroad track in front of an ad-
vancing express train, he asked: Mel
lie, why do you mistrust me?"
was reminded of Nellie today by q
letter received from a woman. She
says she has been married for 20 years
to good, kind, generous, faithful
man, but that she has high temper,
she flies into RACES, says mean and
cruel things to him every time he
crosses her. Also, that she Is so jealous
that she cannot endure for him even
to pay any attention to his own moth
er, and when she sees him talking to
q pretty girl she snatches him away
from her and makes scenes that great
ly humiliate him. She just can't help
buying pretty clothes and expensive
furs and things, so they are always in
debt and he is worried over the bills.
She loathes cooking and housework,
and he has to help clean up when he
comes home and cook the dinner.
Then she asks: why does my hus-
band no longer love me?"
MUCH better might she ask: Why
A should he love me when have
done nothing since our wedding day
except to make his life hell on earth?
How could he love me when all have
done is to earn his hatred instead OF
his affection? How could any man love
a woman who is shrew, a spendthrift
and a tyrant and who doesn't even
make him a comfortable home?
The answer is, Of course, that It
isn't humanity possible to love the un-
lovable, or to yearn to kiss the un-
kissable; that If we wish to retain the
affection Of our mates we have to do
our best to keep them glad we married
them. We can't trust 1t to luck, or
habit, or a sense Of duty, or some
magic in the wedding ceremony. You
can put out the fiercest fire by keep
ing cold water turned on it.
The greatest exhibition of unfound-
ed optimism in the world is that Of
fered by the married couples who
treat each other with . lack Of con-
sideration; q lack of even common
politeness that they show to no one
else; who never lift a finger to make
each other happy, and yet who expect
their husbands and wives to stay mad
" in love with them and feel them
selves ill-used when they don't.
It would work a great domestic
revolution and stop about nine-tenths
Of the divorces If all Of the disgruntled
husbands and wives, who complain 30
bitterly that their mates have grown
cold and Indifferent to them and that
their marriages have turned into
nothing but an endurance test, would
sit down and have a heart-to-heart
session with themselves and ask:
why should my husband or wife love
me? What have I done to endear
myself to him or her?"

OUTSTANDING among a galaxy
of smart models were the two
photographed above. The navy blue
crepe with gaucho blouse in vivid
Roman stripes has a number of
counts to its credit. Most important
of all is the fact that it is suitable
for immediate wear as we'll as being a
distinctive spring model. The skirt
is cleverly designed to give a pencil
slim silhouette, as the pleated effect
at the front is separate apron panel.
This affords pleatS without too much
swing. The smart coolie hat from
the same shop seems to be the exactly
right complement to the dress. The
mushroom brim is faced with a bril-
liant pinky red that harmonizes with
one of the stripes in the blouse.
The ensemble shown in the other
photograph is in most luscious shade
of pinky beige-one of the new Chi
nese colors that we have mentioned
before as Sung beige The coat is a
novelty tweed with huge blond wolf
collar. The dress is of crepe with
unusual detailing through the dia-
phragm. The stunning Mexican bowl
hat is of felt in matching pink beige
and ties under the chin This cos
tune is equally good for the blond
or the brunette

late home building was announced

ers' Association, Washington.
This sales development program for
lumber and building material dealers,
which was originated by the dealers
themselves and is the result Of more
THAI two years Of work and planning.
marks the first concerted effort by
such typical small business men" to
improve the business Of an entire in
dustry. Its purpose is twofold: First,
to increase volume by Offering home
buyers the benefit Of economies that
result from sound selling methods:
and, second. to give lumber dealers
throughout the country q definite
means of helping to stimulate build
ing activity.
To BE Launched In Fall.
The program has the backing OF
manufacturers, we'll as retail asso-
Citations, and sufficient funds have
already been collected to insure its
being launched this fall and being
carried through as planned. 1t will
be available to all lumber and build
ing material dealers at nominal cost.
To supervise its operation. a special
organization, the Merchandising In
stitute OF National Retail Lumber

formed, with the active work OF di-
rection in the hands Of an Executive
Committee of officers and directors.

w. Wilbur. president Of the Merchan-
dising Institute, said in part:
This plan has developed into what
is really joint industry EFFORT. in
which the manufacturers and retail
ers' associations are participating on
an equal basis. From our knowledge OF
conditions In the industry We are
convinced that the key to better busi-
ness lies in helping the dealer sell
more goods We propose to accom-
plish this by giving him something he

More than s4,5O0,000 was received
by Government agencies as dividends
on their investments in 1,343 savings
and loan associations during the first
half of 1898, the Federal Home Loan
Bank Board reported today A tabula-
ton showed that practically every
association paid a dividend for the
six-month period.
The board announced that l078
Federal savings and loan associations
paid average annual dividends of 356
per cent while 265 State associatlo
paid an average of 342 per cent. Since
Government agencies were first au-
thorlzed by Congress to invest in
qualified thrift associations which
sought funds to expand their home
financing operations dividends paid
the Government have totaled approxl-
mately $17,793,000.

ing the first half of 1888, amounting
