When black tea is desired the leaves are withered by partial drying on racks exposed to drying Leaves are then rolled; next comes fermenting in cool, humid air, during which the color changes from green to a bright copper color. The final step is drying or firing with air. Leaves are then sorted according to size before packing.

In the United States tea standlards are very rigid and only the best kinds are used. These come to the tea-packing plant in foillined plywood boxes. Samples are checked by expert tasters who are said to be able to distinguish differences in some 1,500 to 1,600 teas. Boiling water poured over precise amounts of the tea in special cups with lids.

Recently she told the Eagle reporter her story of how she heeded the early symptoms of the dread disease and is today in perfect health. Given the opportunity, she said, she would like to give the following advice to one and all: "The minute you have the least suspicion that you you might have the disease--if feel extreme fatigue, lose appetite and weight-go have an X-ray taken and have a complete checkup." The pleasant young matron had an advantage over the average person in discovering the disease in time.

She was a student nurse at Bellevue Hospital at the time. Her cure was effected in one year's time at Stony Wold Sanitarium. Then came another crisis in the victim's life the comeback into everyday life. Describing the utter despair she felt at this point, she said: "You've been living in a world apart during your treatment. You feel that you've lost that time in your life, and you have got to learn things all over again.

You must learn to walk again, to conserve your energy. In a sense, you are coming back to life." But here again the Brooklyn Tuberculosis and Health Association came to her assistance, in the form of its rehabilitation Committee.

He enlisted as a drum major with the 56th Regiment, New York Volunteers. Before the Civil War he was a member of Hooley's Minstrels, most unique musical aggregation in borough history. The minstrels' headquarters was the gas-lit Hooley's Opera House at Court and Remsen Sts. The famous Hooley's Minstrels gave their opening performance on Sept. 29, 1862, according to old records.

Wrote an old resident Mr. Hooley and his opera house: "I can recall seeing R. M. Hooley, handsomely dressed, with his long and waving beard carefully combed and scented, standing in the entrance every night while the performance was going on, occasionally stepping in with an acquaintance to take refreshments at Cap La Fiura's saloon next door.

He occupied a fine dwelling on Montague St. near Clinton where he dispensed a lavish hospitality to the friends he was pleased to gather about him, and in that house more than once have heard him play the violin in a way to surprise those who thought him a manager only." Ah, those dear, lush days in Brooklyn! Nothing left but yellowed and crumbling newspaper clippings. Use Glassware Every Day Almost every piece of stemware and tumbler can serve two or more purposes.

Disturbed by Recent Events The other evening we were going to the theater and as usual for 28 years I put out his tuxedo, tie, handkerchief, shirt (with studs inserted), his overcoat and hat. I did everything but shave for him, and then when we got downstairs and he realized he hadn't got change for the taxi, he said, "You should always check me on that." I was ready to scream.

Rearannounce the daughter, RearClark Jr. Teaneck, N.J. DEAR K. Henry (let's call him) has been perniciously fussy in all the years you've lived with him, I can understand that your patience might be overtaxed at times. As I see the picture, Henry is something of a hairshirt, but then I think you are something of a trial to Henry, too--and even more an unsuspected problem to to to yourself.

to For neurotic reasons all your own, you've figuratively knocked yourself out from the start of marriage, trying to please Henry, and need I remind that a doormat wife usually gets treated as a convenience after a time, not as an object of chivalrous appreciation. Husband's Fretted Heaven only knows how much your slavish exertions have contributed to making Henry impossible at home, and in my opinion it is no wonder he yawns as he enters the door. He is entering an atmosphere and situation that somehow connote suffocation to his sensibilities, so that instantly he feels wearied and fretful--a reaction caused by your smother love tactics and his unconscious awareness of their objective, namely, to "hold" him. I think his supposedly cranky disposition might improve remarkably if you would relax your excessive striving, for his approval. What if the grapefruit is too small and the prunes too large, the mattress too hard or too soft for Henry's taste? Well, so they are, or so he says.

But you aren't the grapefruit or the prunes, the mattress, the tailors, why take it personally, as if you were maligned, when he turns on his daily output of complaints, For advice, cultivate self-esteem and self-acceptance, and stop acting "unworthy," frightened and supplicant, M. H..
