THE LITTLE TEA BOOK 



We are pretty prosaic tea-drinkers 

 in America. Is it because there is 

 not enough " touch and go" about 

 the drink, or that we are too busy to 

 settle down to the quiet, comfort, 

 and thoughtful tea- ways of our con- 

 temporaries ? Wait until a few things 

 are settled ; when our kitchen queens 

 do not leave us in the "gray of the 

 morning," and all of our daughters 

 have obtained diplomas in the art 

 and science of gastronomy. 



However made or taken, tea at 

 best or worst is a glorious drink. As 

 a stimulant for the tired traveller 

 and weary worker it is unique in its 

 restful, retiring, soothing, and ca- 

 ressing qualities.
