Once he had been in a Scottish lown on a "Games Day," and be- cause so many country folk were in town the owners of the local res taurants cut the ordinary luncheon off the menu and served instead a steady stream of "high teas" of fried Ash and chips and tea! The ten tra- veller-a most warthy Engilshunan-- was horrified. My American friend would have said: "I told you so!"

But if we are a nation of mighty teu-drinkers, how some of our an cestors must turn in their graves!

Less than a hundred and fifty years ago, this tea habit was nothing more than a stupid modern notion "which couldn't possibly Inst." In 1790 the wise men of Scotland were much concerned over the immoderate use of tea and they kept on assuring themselves that at the price (ten was a pound in Scotland in 1790 and sug was 1114 a pound) it could never become a fantonable beverage.

Even enclier in the eighteenth cen- tury it was publicly condemned, as "un improper diet, expensive, waste- ful of time, and calculated to render the population weakly and effemin- ste," In 1744 a body of Ayrshire farmers entered into a bond against ten and swore to leave it to those who can afford be weak, indolent, and useless."

But tea! Like time, tea marched on, out of the exclusive circle of the laird's drawingroom and the stylish salons of Edinburgh, Into the kitchen and bothies of the forthest parish, Strong inen drank it, and women and children. There are now women In Scotland who drink tea as often as a dozen times a day,

Yes, maybe the American is right. Ten could not be called a historic Scottish drink, but we seem to have adopted it pretty thoroughly.
