TEA MAGIC
'FEA in the morning, tea in the evening, tea in the afternoon —for refreshment, gossip, or fortune. Time never matters, as long as the beverage, which is the inspiration of the latter two, is tea. As a restorative tea is imbued with powers seldom suspected by the average doctor—headaches, tired feet and nerves need only the one cure, prescribed at home, and to be taken immediately. There is a significance, too, in the clatter'of teacups, a distinct change in conversation that has languished a little for lack of a stimulant. There is nothing that serves better to lubricate the feminine mind—and very often the male—than a dish of tea. Reading the tea leaves in an empty cup, by “one who knows,” carries excitement with it renewed hopes, despair, who knows? Surely the sober mind of man does not realise what fortune lies in the depths of the man-size cup, or he would ponder awhile before considering the material benefits to be derived from an immediate refill.
