SEhIE.S---No. 1 Teaasa everage Tea first became known in China nearly 3000 years before Christ. hi that country tea was greatly prized, both for its remark- able qualities as a beverage and for ` the almost religious ceremony attached to the drinking of 'it. Up to the sixth century, tea was used only for medicinal 'purposes Even in tiie seventeenth century it cost $25.00 to $50.00 per pound. All tea caddies were constantly kept under lock .and key. Today when even fine quality like t` SALAAA" costs less than. one-third of a cent per cup, it is not surprising that the consumption of tea is increasing tremen_: clOusly.

All that you did was to ,show Alan where he stood, and I do believe that, perhaps in the end, it will .be quite a good thing for us all.". "You can say that—YOU?" cried Carlotta in a choking voice, "though you just know that perhaps you will have to leave this heavenly place!" "There is no `perhaps' about it. Alan has gone to -day to make final are rangemients and to empower the law- yers to find a tenant. I shan't like that, my dear•. It would be useless to pretend that I could like it, but it has to be endured like .the other unpleas- ant happenings of life. And it won't last forever.

And Alan says that 1 can take. away enough of things to furnish the little Cal:nbridge house. That will be interesting and amusing as far as it goes," Oarlotta's eyes seemed to darken, and she allowed Judy to meander one without interruption, Suddenly she clasped her hands and leaned for- wards, with a sort of intense look on her race.

Now, what is Judith Rankine doing? 'Why, just Preaching for all she is worth!" Carlottarose suddenly, and, kneel- ing by Judy's side, 'raised her beauti- ful. face, all instinct with feeling,, to the plain one whom suffering had taught, Ylxu wonderful creature, you have spoken the truest words in the world. The melting pot! That is what it is going to be: and since I am honored by being allowed to go into it with you, please heaven, 'I may contribute something which will be worth while." "You are going to help Alan to wait, and work, and win," said Judy, wist- fully. "I am not sure whether yours is not going ,to be the biggest bit of. all.". Carlotta was unable for, a moment to speak, for unutterable thoughts were upon her, like' an overwhelming flood. But a great gladness, born of the consciousness of power, was in her soul. Trying to describe that =moment to. her brother afterwards, Judy," on whose observant eyes nothing was lost or thrown away, Said quite simply: "Something shone in her face like a light from: behind or beyond. She is a lovely woman, ; Alan, and there is somethingthere which is not' hi ordinary people. Even if --even if" and her eyes grew tender and wistful again—"even if you . have nothing, after all,, but the struggle . and the waiting, it will be all worth while,. both for her and for you; and for me, -too, who have to stand by and look on."-' In these words- Judy expressed; without knowing it, the poignancy of herown position.. For can there be a more difficult role for an active, living woman to fill than' just to stand by and wait, torn with desire to help, yet wholly at a loss which way to turn for the purpose? • Judy, made to be the guiding light of a home, possessed none of the gifts. for which the world will pay in hard cash. This was not Judy's hour! But it was Carlotta's, and bad Judy been able to probe just a little more deeply, andto grasp the stupendous scheme already forming in Carlotta's heart,' she would have been held in complete thrall Presently they came down to 'More mundane things, and when. the stream of Judy's intimate talk was stemmed a little; she suggested a ramble though the house. An enthusiastic guide, she had no reason to complain of lukewarmii'ess on the part of her Whom ehe thus chaperoned. It was• at once Carlotta's introduc- tion and fairwell to:Mair, until, per haps, some happier day should dawn for her and those whose deepest re- grets and hopes she now ` so fully shared. a • "I 'am sure you must be most fright- fully tired," said .Judy impulsively as the afternoon wore on and they were wandering about the park ,• 'within sight of the loch and the sea.. "And I have nothing to offer you the way of conveyance back to Ayr. You must comeirt and rest awhile, -and, after tea, `alk down quite quietly, and I will convoy you part of the way." "I am not tired at all! How could I be? When one is alive, as I am to- day, every, faculty strung tothe high- est pitch—there is no such thing as tiredness in, the world." "I have felt like that. But just late- ly I don't. seem to be so.willing or so able to go on. Bobbie Sanderson calls it a reaction, but I just laugh at him. Do you know Bobbie Sanderson?" "Only by sight, though' I hear of him sometimes, nay, very oftenam- ong the poor people." • � Do you visitpoor people in Ayr?" asked Judy, in swift surprise. "Sometimes, because it -is necessary, I ain sure, for all of us to realize now and again that we are really quite well off, and that others would give all they -possessed for the privileges we despise. s In these words. Carlotta revealed herself, and part of the divine discon- tent of her life. "I started' out to say that Bobbie is a dear!" said Judy.y"When one, gets Bobbie Sanderson's nature, allied to his other gifts, . then the man him- self is a, gift/to the world. He is a healer, and surely there can't be any- thing finer in life than just that!" Carlotta's face indicated that the; words had aroused a fresh train of j thought "Now you are getting back into the clouds again! Shall we go in now?". said Judy quickly. , "Presently. Is it very far to the side of Barassie Hill from which one can see The Lees?" "Not far at all. We can easily go --just ` throug „the little • wood and round by the Vali, and there we are." Judy led the way, and as they' left the pleasant purlieus .of the park be-" Vinci, and came to the •sparsely -covered spur of the hill, they :talked :less. To `the march dyke did Judy bring Car- lotta, and forgetful of the fact that she might not know what had happen- ed there, she stood still, pointing to a big boulder.' ` "It was just there I found lupi, and if he had fallen an inch or two nearYr he might have been. killed by that boulder!. And Peter never even Wait- ed, or came . back 'to sae whether he had been killed. He had murder Ili his heart. Oh, forgive me!" she cried, then, stricken by the look on Carlotta's face, : "I forgot that you might rebind! 1t .is just like my foolish` tongue to Wander on like that!" Carlotta stooped clown, broke a lit- tle green shoot from the heather clump against which Alan's head had rested, and put it in her breast. And, in that simple act, she took a fresh vow for Stair: •• . • . Clothes ��st lQng�er. wh�r� washed �rrcrperl�= says Mrs. Mcperience, who tells how to wash t&ietn.

When .will 'you come again to takeyour full share of talking? There are so many things I want to know about you?" "You want to know them yet, even after we have,. spent all these :hours together?"

Hertford Castle, in the middle of the town of that name, is to-daythebentre of municipal activity, since it has been converted. into civic offices for the use of the old borough. .As in many other cases where a castle is now' used for a Ino •e modern i mo din Purpose than formerly, the old-time- courtyard and the spaces around the various buildings have be- came public gardens and pleasure grounds.

Winchester Castle; ' or the - Great - Room that is all thee. remains -'of it, was bought many years ago as a public hall for the county.

Seine > one . defines punctuality to be "fifteen minutes before the time. At any rate, it is not one minute after the time. „ T must tell you an anecdote of the first 1VIarquis of Abereorn. He invited a number of friends to dinner. Tle. hour for -dinner was five, and all .those invited knew it, :of course. Well, the hour arrived, and but one of the guests had .come. Down sat the marquis and his ane guest to. table. The marquis was punctual, if only one of the others was. By and by another dropped• in, and was very. much mortified to find dine ner being eaten. And one by one all the rest came, and were likewise • mor- tified. But' the marquis had taught them all a good`less-on, and T venture to day that the next time theywere invited none of them got in to the cof- fee only, but were on hand for soup. General Washington was so very punctual that, on one occasions some. friends.. who were expecting him at a certain hour, on finding that he had not arrived, all concluded that their -. watches must have got wrong; and sure enough theyhad, for Washington soon came, and was not a minute late. No doubt his habits of punctuality • helped to make him the great man that he was. Nor is any one tooyoung to begin the;cultivation of habitsef punctuality.
