A LADY was asked to make the punch
for . reception here the other day.
She said she had two recipes. one for a
mans. the other for a ladys punch. One
she called a dry punch and the circus
lemonade for the ladies' she called a wet
punch Both punches demanded the same
liquors. but the difference lay In the length
Of time in which the punch reposed in the
| Ice basin. The ladies punch was put IN
| ten minutes before II was needed. On the
mans punch quick action was taken and
no time for leakage allowed
But the funnies, thing about drinking
| thar I have heard lately Is this: In Ke~
wnukee. IT,. the members OF the African
| Methodist church were told by the rresid-
| ing elder that the communion cup had been
| filled with whisky instead Of the usual
| communion wine. He said how sorry he
was that the whisky was OF so strong a
| character that 1t could set Are to wood
| Pile. Some OF the members thought 1t
| was the usual thing. and only took a sip
| but others took enough TO determine the
| quality 81 the beverage
| The concluding hymn was sung with
| great salrit--"Ai my heart this night re-
| iosces." NANCY LEE
