FACTS ABOUT TEA SERIES-No. t Tea as a Beverage ^mw^inip»9"cm ""•^^^^emt Tea lirst became knuwa in China tjearly .<000 years before Christ. In. that country tea was greatly prized, both for its remark- able qualities as a beverage and for the alniost religious ceremony attached to the drinliing of it. Up to the sixth century, tea >^as used only for medicinal purposes. Even in tlie 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 •' SALADA " costs less than one- third of a cent per cup, it is not surprising that the consumption of tea is increasing tremen- dously. H SALAM II PENNY PLAIN BY O.

' "I do think Staili's a fool," said Jean bitterly, wrathful in the rettctioh from her fright. ''He does no damage on the road, and of cQursc I'm .glad of that. I've seen him stop dead for a hen, and the wayfaring man, though a fool, is safe from him; but he cares nothing for what happens to the poor wretched people inside the car. As nearly as possible he had us over the parapet of that brldsre." And later, when they f6und from the bill at lunch-time that Stark's luncheon had consisted of "one min- eral," she thought that the way he had risked nil their lives must have taken away his appetite. The car ran splendidly that day â€" David said it was getting into its stride â€" and they got to Oxford for tea and had time to go and see David's rooms before they left for Stratford. But David would let them see nothing else. "No," ho said; "it would be a shamo to hurry over your first sight. You must come here after Stratford. I'll take rooms for you at the Mitre. I want to show you Oxford on a May morning." It was quite dark when they reach- ed Stratford. To Jean it seemed strange and delicious thus to enter Shakespeare's own town, the Avon a- glimmer under the moon, the kingcups and the daisies asleep in the meadows. The lights of the Shakespeare Hotel shone cheerily as they came for- ward. A "boots" with a wrinkled, whimsical face came out to help them in.
