YOUR FORTUNE

. TOLD IN THE TEACUP. Tea-leaves in your cup indicate that the water wasn't boiling when you made the tea. Let the water come to a bubbling boil before pouring it on the leaves.

Beware of the dark stranger who teacup foretells a domestic storm. It means that the tea has been standing over-long after making, or that you have been too generous with the leaves.

Beware of the dark stranger who tries to persuade you that you "pay for the advertising" when you choose a reputable tea, and that an unknown brand is "just as good.” Families have left home for less.

When your tea has a dull, almost muddy, appearance in the cup, prepare for a disappointment. Your beverage will almost certainly be flat and tasteless, due to a cheap quality of tea, which is dear in the long run. A good tea goes twice as far and provides a stimulating drink.

A shallow cup is the forerunner of quickly chilled tea. A deep and reasonably straight-sided cup, on the other hand, suggests a hot, inviting beverage. Riches in the future are indicated when your cup contains a clear, fragrant infusion of tea, since this means that you are an intelligent buyer, with an eye to quality. The wise shopper saves much money. An offer of marriage is likely in the near future if you serve your male acquaintance with tea in a sensibly sized cup and place it on a firm table. If the tea bereally hot and strong, the offer is definitely nearer. There’s a letter in the post accepting your invitation by return if your tea is always made in a heated pot and poured off the leaves into a second pot, also heated, after three minutes (not a second more!) You’ll be known as the perfect hostess. A long journey is ahead of you if you want to find a better cup of tea than your own. if you take these hints to heart.
