To Brew  Nice Hot Cup'of Tea It Needs an Autumn Fire, a Ket- tle Just on the Boil and A Well-Rinsed Tea-pot to Make It Right The tea-table needs autumn and 'the tire-light. It is only a ghost of itself in summer. A wasp-infested ghost. No one takes it seriously then. A cup ot tea is something to be swal- lowed between games, but in aut- umn it becomes the game itself. Here are the few simple rules for making tea. Heat the teapot with some hot water. Then pour off the water and thoroughly dry the pot. Allow heap- ed teaspoonful for each person, and an odd one for the pot. Ose water which lifts only just come to the b-oil. Long boiled water simply does not work. Let the tea infuse for at least four minutes. Made With Hard Water Hard, chalky water is a bad of- fender The technique .of making tea with it becomes a trifle differ- ent, If it is made according to the rules laid down above, it must be allowed to infuse for six minutes to get the right flavour. Another way of making tea with hard water is to pour the boiling water into the pot first, and then sprinkle the tea on to It, allowing it to infuse for seven minutes.

White, of Har- vard University, not to believe “the jig is up." They may attain old age, and die of something else. Furthermore, such persons won’t necessarily al- ways suffer because nature often corrects heart trouble without any treatment. Aid To Recovery “Heart cases” often are imagin- ary, and “freedom from fear” is one of the greatest aids to recovery. “Narrow-minded publicity about the seriousness of heart disease has sprouted tens of thousands, of cardiac neuroses in otherwise heal- thy people," he said. Is Good and Tough “The heart has been too much set on a pedestal as the esseiitial organ of the body, when it is only one in many, and among the very toughest, most resistant, and most capable of recovery after serious disease." â- mmssasssim i The Goose Woman by REX BEACH CHAPTER XV Vogel had made her bring her scrap books of old clippings and her photographs; he had also ar- ranged for press photographers and camera men from the news week- lies, for here was a subject suitable for the screen reviews. When Mrs. Holmes left the building, she faced a battery of still and moving-pic- ture cameras, and a way for her had to be cleared through the cur- iosity-seekers. Word quickly spread that an ac- tual eye-witness of the Ethridge slaying had come forward with an incredible story and a mob follow- ed Mrs. Holmes to her hotel. It swarmed into the lobby, and up to the elevator gates, reminding her of the crowds that followed her in Paris, in Vienna. She would have liked to step out of her room to some balcony, with her arms full of roses, and throw kisses to the street below. In a surprisingly short time ex- tras were out and Mrs, Holmes heard them being shouted. They contained little but. headlines and a brief statement of facts, but she read them avidly and could scarce- ly wait for the fuller accounts and for the arrival of the big Chicago dailies the next morning. It fed her vanity to. realize that in many quar- ters upon typewriter keys and tele- graph instruments fast-flying fin- gers were pounding out her life story and that it was being cast into molten metal for the world to read. Those old photographs which had lain so long In the dark were now being reproduced. and new ones finished! Mary Holmes, “the goose woman” had set the presses of the country a-spinning; Maria di Nardl, the forgotten darling of the grand opera, was being reborn. Made Herself Over Sustained emotion such as she had undergone today, demanded re- lief, and again she appealed to the matron for some whiskey. Rut the latter was firm. Mrs. Holmes was too excited to eat any supper, nor could she sleep when bedtime came. Habit had become fixed, res- traint had only whetted keener her desire to drink, and her outraged system clamored fiercely for its accustomed anodyne. She paced the floor until long after her compan- ion had retired. She wondered why Jerry did not communicate with her. He must have heard those newsboys bawl- ing “extra" by this time and â€" but of Course he was mad at her for getting into print; he abhorred no- toriety. A shrinking violet, that was Jerry! Bah! He had offered to make her over if she’d let him! Well, she had made herself over. She wished lie could see lier to- night, Mrs. Holmes rang for a bellboy and asked him the earliest possible moment he could secure for her the morning papers. The boy volunteer- ed to go to the offices and fetch the first copies off the press; that would probably be about three o’- clock. This gave the woman an idea, and she inquired if by any chance, he could at the same time secure for her a little stimulant, preferably whiskey, although gin would do. The boy.assured her that he could. He did. “The Man In The Robe" Mary 'Holmes found pictures of herself on the damp front pages. The stories that went wi:k them were all that she could have desir- ed. She smiled, to be sure, at Vo- gel’s positive asertion that he was out of communication with any- body. Even while the evening ex- tras were in process of printing he had been taken to police headquar- ters and there put through an ex- amination sufficiently rigorous to be termed the “third degree," At first he was humiliated and bewil- dered, although scarcely alarmed; he answered questions frankly and fully, not realizing In the least that every word lie uttered closed the net more tightly about him. The police began by asking him about his relations with Hazel Woods, and lie told them of his en- gagement to her. He also admitted ownership of an autombile and he identified a linen dust coat as his property, although why the police had taken pains to bring it here he could not imagine. With equal read- iness he admitted, having driven out to his mother’s farm on the ev- ening of the murder and having left the car in the pine grove near the entrance to the Ethridge lane. Yes, his right headlight had been on of commission. To Gerald it seemed inconceiv- able that these men could actually suspect him of complicity in the crime. Not until he had gone over and over the story , of his trip out and back and had detailed his ev- ery action on that night without in the least impressing them did lie begin to appreciate the seriousness of his situation. Why should they suspect him of the murder, he de- manded to know. Why should he wish to harm the man who had al- ready done more for him than any- body in Westland? What possible motive could he have for destroy- ing his benefactor? They told him why, in language so plain, so brutal, that he was just stricken dumb. Miss Woods had been Amos Ethridge’s sweetheart and the cottage she occupied was their love nest. She was the writer of that “Thursday” note which had been found on his body, and, after the show on the night of his slay- ing, he had called upon her, as was his frequent habit. He had gone directly from hèr arms to his very death. Gerald leaped to his feet. “That’s a lie!” he shouted. In a fury he struck at the speaker. No attempt was made to quiet him; cn the con- trary, his inquisitors undertook to capitalize his agitation. They goad- ed him; they taunted him with be- ing a fool'; they told him things about Ethridge and the girl that would have driven any lover fran- tic. Vogel came in while this was going on, but ho took no part in the proceedings. When Jerry refus-.: ed to be convinced, when again he called them liars and defied them to. shake his faith in his fiancee, they shifted their tactics and read him his mother’s deposition. He lis- tened while incredulity changed to despair.
