Merriam was used to gay times. Her last year's trousseau was far more trig than the clothes her neigh- bors wore. Most of them were envi- ous of the petite red-haired pérson who dashed about in expensive sport things or frilly .organdles. They didn't know that her former friends were the kind who played about with yachts and airplanes. The suburbanites invited Merriam to their parties. She honestly tried to enjoy them. “But I am a snob, Johnsy,” she con- fessed. “I can't endure more'n about one more of those awful porch bridges. ‘Whate cute score cards,’ ™ she mimicked. “You don't think I'm having a heluva time, do you?"

He had seen them on their way to the far north in the early spring, and many times he had won- dered about them and if he ever would see them again. Now here they were, with their six children, in the pond of Paddy the Beaver, and how good it was to see them again. Mr. Quack was as handsome as ever with his green head and white collar. Mrs Quack wore her usually modest brown suit. “HAVE YOU HAD A PLEASANT JOURNEY?"

That is why we have hurried. We must get down to_the sunny south before it gets too cold for comfort.” Paddy looked at Peter and his eyes twinkled. “What did I tell you about the winter?’ said he. “Didn't I tell yol‘lli'gh.t it will be long and hard and a7y “That {s what everybody in the far north says,” spoke up Mr. Quack. “Everybody who can is moving south earlier than ever I have known them to, and those who stay there the year round are getting unusually warm coats.

SOME POLKS MAVE CONSCIENCES LIKE ALARM CLOCKS () able person is supposed to have an infallible conscience, just as you're supposed to have your own teeth and hair. If you haven't, it's the correct thing to lie about {t. But I'm not going to lie—for perchance what is troubling me may be _troubling others, and frankness may find a cure for us ail. I'll admit that there's something inside of me that does a lot of talk- ing. But it always ks on both sides of the question—that's the trouble. Yes, it very quickly shows me the cautious, safe and profitable way to act If I'm considering my personal welfare. But then it imme- diately switches around and shows me how contemptible it is for me to conslder my personal welfare In such | a crowded world, and how little my | soul's salvation is worth if it be pur- chased at the price of another's pain or loss. It shows me sin; then it perversely shows me the beauty aof sinners. It shows me righteousness and along with it the frequent mean- ness of saints. It utters judgments, and straightway ridicules my ego- tism and hypocrisy in thinking that T am fit to judge. 8o what am I going to do? Some folks have consciences that go off with the accuracy of alarm clocks. They boast of them. But usually you wouldn't trust such peopie.to be de- oént to a sick dog.

We judge tea by its looks as bought by the color, flavor and odor of the infueion, and by the out-turn of the leaves after infusjon. When bought tea leaves should be uniform in color and in size. A.black tea should be graylsh, rather than dead black. The trained tea taster can quickly grade tes by its flavor and infusion. The leaves turned out after infusion should be dark and of one color, no bright green leaves present. As to taste, that is a matter of indi- vidual preference. From the polnt of view of health, black tea is less in- Jurious than green tea. i Tea is adulterated chiefly with old | infused leaves, with willow and other leaves resembling the tea leaf, and with many tea stems. Facing—that is, coloring—is also an adulteration It consists in treating inferior leaves or very old onea that have lost their aroma, with a mixture of Prussian D] Stores, - ‘ If health and vigor mean any- thing to you—or to your family —then get free of constipation!
