SOClETY'S SUMMER DRINKS
American Champagne, Mineral Water
sugar and Bcrries, Mixed with
Ice, Wake Popnlnr ncNcrnRc.

! The summer drinks that are now claim
/ ing the attention OF the fashionable world
are not only delicious to the taste, but are
| quite unusual in their combinations To be
J refreshing, delicately favored and to contain
so little stimulant that they can be drunk
. in almost unlimited quantities, seems to be
| the standard Of their excellence; or to
be more explicit, mineral waters, fruits and
American champagne are their principal
| ingredients.
/ one Of the best OF these summer drinks
is combined in the following proportions.
( To one quart Of ice cold sparkling mineral
water, add one pint OF American champagne
and as many pieces of cut sugar as will
sweeten it to the taste. Three tablespoons
full OF pineapple, cut in small triangular
/ pieces, two tables2oCnsful Of Strawberries
and few slices of orange peel cut so thin
! that they will float upon the surface Of the
| punch. This is one that may be recon-
mended to give unmitigated delight
When it IS not desired to use champagne
| weak solution OF Ceylon tea may be sub
stituted and marachino cherries used in
stead Of the strawberries. The Juice Of
| grape fruit, with just soupcon of Santa
Cruz rum. is also used as the basis of this
| punch. 1t is considered particularly re-
! freshing
light red wine punch Is made by adding
a pint of California claret to a quart of the
| sparkling water and the juice of four or five
| lemons. 1t should be sweetened with cut
sugar few stalks of mint are of inestima-
! BILE value to give 1t a pleasant flavor. Straw
! berries are the only fruit that really go
| we'll with this punch. When Slices of cucum-
bers and bananas are seen floating about,
| they appeal more strongly to ones sense of
| the grewsome than to the palate.
The once famous guava jelly punch has re-
| established its claim to popularity 1t is
commonly made after an old recipe which
recommends using one part Of lemon juice,
two parts of sweet guava jelly and white
sugar that has been dissolved in boiling
water; three parts of old rum and four parts
of water. Although excel1ent, the punch is
much heavier than is desirable for sum
| mer beverage.
| Individuality and the artistic sense enter
| largely into these punches, and there seem
| to be almost as many ways Of making them
| as there are individuals. A fair woman,
when asked for her especial recipe, is apt
| to answer, as the old cooks are said to
| have done, that she puts in a pinch of this
and toss of that, and that after a twirl or
| two the best punch ever known is the result
| From such one the following recipe for
home made root beer was extracted: big
three and half quarts of lukewarm water,
| little one-haf yeast cake, very big one and
! a half pounds of sugar and rather big one
| third of a bottle of root beer extract" She
| graciously added that it should be corked
| tightly.
| Cafe frappe and iced tea are seen on many
Of the tables at o'clock instead of the

The month OF June, ever famous for Its
roses and it's weddings into which the gay
world OF society will soon be plunged,
gives ample promise Of living up to It's
reputation this year.
IT would hardly be any eXaggeration to
say that the number of weddings on the
social taps seems to be ever on the in
crease and certainly with all due regard to
the truth, 1t may be asserted that never did
Cupid put to better use the magic arrows
entrusted to his tender care. 1t is devoutly
to be hoped that the supply of orange bios
SONS, rice, old satin slippers, and all the
various raraphernalia which are the neces-
sary adjuncts to every society wedding will
prove fully equal to the demand.

pleasure, and he was the social center at
all Of the receptions, dinners, theaters ana
other functions which he attended. His

FERTILIZERS
the Rise as Following Naturally the
Upward Trend of Raw Materials.

In view of the fact that the prices
of all manufactured fertilizers had
materially advanced recently, reporter
for The News and Courier called on
Messrs. H. NJ. Tucker e. Co., brokers in
fertilizers and fertilizer materials, and
obtained the following statement re-
garding the situation:
1.-The probabilities are that there will
be a sharp advance in the general
prices of fertilizers. The prices of fer
tiliZer materials have materially ad-
Vanced and will advance still more, in
consequence of which the manufactu-
rers of fertilizers will be compelled to
advance the price of the manufactures
article to meet this advance of raw
material.
1.-The prices of fertilizers have for
several years been on q very low ba-
sis, but the cost of the material has
responded to the general advance in
the cost of raw material in all of the
industrials, andthat will necess-Cate
an additional cost of the manufactur-
ed article, as, for instance, phosphate
rock is now from $3.50 to $1.75 per ton
higher than il last year, and the
sulphur in pyri- , is also from $1.25
to $3.50 per ton higher, and the same
applies to the cost of all ammoniated
ingredients, as we'll as sthe advance
that has been made in the price of
labor, and of the general running sup
plies, machinery, etc, necessarily used
in the manufacture of fertilizers. This
altogether would mean that the cost
of manufacture and of material would
average over the cost of last year from
1928 to $40, and this will necessitate
a proportionate advance in the cost of
the manufactured article.
The trade may look therefore for a
continued average higher price for fer
~tilizers this year than last of over 81
per ton.
"Tt is fortunate for the up-cOuntry
that the advanced prices Of cotton and
other articles of production should
more than compensate for this %increas-
ed cost in fertilizers
