About the House ON "THE CUP THAT CHEERS There. is black tea and green tea do you know why? The black lea have been fermented and. are mild the tannin is changed and made 1 soluble, so you get less of the bit principal in your beverage; and th the leaves must be carefully fired exposed to the sun, to check the f mentation, and the heat must be ju right, so as to remove the moistu but not drive off the volatile oils. All along the line, frons the ha picking by women and children, curing, the shipping and the blend- ing, your tea calls for delicacy, care and judgment. That is the reason is such a culinary crime to abuse when it is handed over to you for final making and -serving. The Raw Material—The lit green leaves of the first harvest a the finest, packed in April in Chin and Japan they spell delicacy; su cessive pickings give somewhat to quality, In Ceylon, where many your best known brands ,origina tea -picking goes on the year round ten-day intervals. The tea from di ferent "gardens," as tea plantatioi are picturesquely called, varies character, so you see that you mu trust your tea merchant for the car ful blending of the final product. A venture till you find what suits you taste and stick to it. The blending o teas calls for experts along the lin and "tea tasters" must have all th skill, and more, of the connoisseur o fine vintages, to produce a product o even quality and the same character lstics from the varying teas received "Orange pekoe" is a general quality designation, not a kind of tea, an alone is not enough to designate th sort of tea you may like best. Flower pekoe, orange pekoe, and just pekoe mean the three smallest leaves fro the top of the plant, size and qualit varying in the order named. Bu teas also vary according to climate the time of picking, the curing, an with the altitude at which they ar grown. Like humans, the plants tha grow on the heights have the bes character! The Finished Beverage—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 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 Iong 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 fled, and the whole party is completely spoiled, for either health or pleasure.

We can put stock- ings on his feet or let hint wear the little sleepers with feet in them and thus protect his lower limbs, 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 hien next summer, cut out the feet and stitch across firmly on the machine.

So tiny seemed the little house, Scarce room for bed and board; Yet here were love and happiness In heaping measure poured.

When children tire of the custom- ary and wholesome apple which forms a part of the noontime lunch, give them a delightful surprise by putting in a candy -coated one. Make a syrup of one pound of gran- ulated sugar, one tablespoonful of vinegar and two cupfuls of water. Boil this till it spins a thread, but do not stir or it will get sugary. Add a little red cake coloring if you have it on hand. Insert thin sticks about four j inches long in the stem ends of bright, red apples. Next dip the apples into the hot syrup, holding them by the' sticks; then set them on waxed paper to cool.
