ON "THE CT.JP THAT CHEERS."
• 1There is black tea and green tea—
do you know why? The black leaves
have been fermented and are milder,
• the faimin is changed and made less
soluble, so you get less of the bitter
Princifai in your beverage; arid then
the leaves must be carefully fired cir
exposed so the sun, to check the fer-
mentation, and the heat must be just
right, so as to remove the moisture
but riot drive ofr the volatile oils.
All along the line, from the hand
picking by women and children, the
curing, the shipping and the blend-
ing, your tea calls for ddlicacy, care
and Judgment. That is the reason it
is such a culinary crime to abuse it
when it is handed over to you for the
final making and serving.
The Raw Material ---The little
green leaves of the first harvest are
China
the finest, picked in April in unina
and Japan they spell delicaey; suc-
cessive pickings give somewhat lower
,quality. In Ceylon, where many of
your best known brands originate,
tea -picking goes on the year round at
ten-day intervals. The tea from dif-
ferent "gardens," as tea •plantations
ai-e picturesquely called, varies in
character, so you see that you linnet
trust your tea merchant for the care-
ful blerxding of the final product. Ad-
venture till you find what suits your
taste and stick to it. The blending of
teas calls for experts along the line,
and "tea tasters" must have all the
skill, and more, of the connoisse,ur of
fine vintages to produce a product of
•even quality and the same character-
• istics from the varying teas received.

APPLE LOLLIPOPS.

a part of the noontime lunch, give
them a delightful surprise by putting

uIated sugar, one tablespoonful of
vinegar and two cupfuls of water.i
Boil this till it spins a thread, but do I
not stir or it will get sugary. Add a
little red calee coloring if you have Iti
on hand. Insert thin sticks about-fouri
inches long in the stern ends of bright;
red apples. Next dip the apples intol
the hot syrup, holding them b thel
sticks; then set them on waxed paper
to cool. You have transformed corn -
mon apples into lollipops, which will
make an instant appeal to the imag-
ination and palate
If yellow apples are used drop a
bit of butter color into the syrup and
pretty golden glazed apples will be
the result.
