The Finished Bez'erage—In the making there are just three essen- tials, very simple ones and easy to attain, and too often they are all ne- glected. First have freshly boiled water. a jumping boil; watch the. tea -kettle as a cat watches a mouse hole and when it "surges wildly" as the Orientals say, jump for it! Second, use an earthenware, porce- lain or china pot—not metal, and pre- heat reheat it by rinsing in hot water. Third, pour on the water (one cup to each teaspoon of tea let it steep not less than three nor more than five minutes. Tea that steeps too long or boils (horrible thought!) is a tannin stew of bitterness and unwholesome ness that one dislikes to contemplate. Its fragrance is gone, its delicacy has lied, and the whole party is completely spoiled, for either health or pleasure. "You had just found it out your- ( there's no evidence against." eeee self?" KEEPING BABY WARM.. In severe weather every mother knows that it is extremely difficult to keep the baby's hands frdin pushing. down the covers andgetting almost b1'ie with the cold. We can put stock- ings on his feet or let him wear the Iittle sleepers with feet in them and thus protect his Iower Iimbs, but those lively pink fingers are a problem. A. very simple solution for this is to take his old white cotton stockings, which he will not wear in cold weath- er and which would very likely be too small for hint next summer, cut out the feet and stitch across firmly on the machine. These make nice elastic mittens that can be pulled upover his hands and pinned to his sleeves, in such a way that he cannot pull- them ulpthem off. Then mother will not shiver ancr refer to - his fingers as icicles when morning comes. Where a house is not heated by al furnace it is often a good idea to haver the baby wear a little nightcap, as hist little bald head is apt to get. very cold and there is sometimes danger of ear; 4604.
