Wine Etiquette

Dear Deborah RHSIl--wlll you please make
teW remarks on the etiquette, rather custom,
n the serving Of wines and liqueurs? What is
the ''EOnemian' idea of dinner with wine at
drinks mixed or straight. are served with lunch
con At "A restaurant and at homer Appreciate
!Hg the courtesy of your reply. L. de c.
There is much 10 say about the etiquette
of serving wines, so perhaps I had better
answer your questions as they come. The
Bohemian idea of dinner with wine means
that with dinner n bottle of some simple
white or red French or Italian wine Is
taken.
At n formal dinner it is customary TO
serve cocktails first before going into the
dining room. Cocktails are mixed drinks.
sherry is usually served with soup and
champagne or sparkling moselle with the
meat courses. After the dessert and coffee
liqueurs which are sweet cordias, such as
creme de menthe, white mint. peach brandy,
chartreuse and others are served in tiny
glasses.
With luncheon it Is proper to have a
cocktail first and some light wine. such as
sauterne or claret. For formal luncheon
Srarkling moselle or champagne is appro-
pirate At dinner if champagne or
moselle is not desirable a heavier wine
such as n Hook or a Madeira may be served
Champagne cup and sauterne cup are
mixed DIR nks which are very refreshing
and may be served at luncheon or dinner.

MRS. MONKEY, MIND-READER
BY Farmer Smith


One afternoon Jimmy Monkey was SO
quiet his mother went up and peeked in
his room to see what was the matter.
Jimmy was in front of the mirror look
ing first this way and then that lie was
evidently trying TO look into his ear
When Jimmy came downstairs his mother
said:
rs anything the matter with your carp"
How did you know had anything the
matter with my carr" asked Jimmy in
great surprise,
Il always know what you are doing"
replied Mrs. Monkey. My love for you
is so great that can even SEE what you
are doing"
Mercy me !" thought Jimmy
Just now l saw you looking at your
ear"
This was too much for Jimmy. so he
hoped out the front door and over to
see the Baby Baboon.
He MUST tell some one. He felt as
though his head would burst IL he held
his secret much longer
He gave the Baby Baboon's bell a short
ring, and, without even waiting for an
answer, rushed in
"oh, Baby! I have something wonderful
70 tell you. Just now l was looking in
the mirror TO see II l could see my mind
through my ear, and when l came down
stairs mother asked me what was the
matter with my ear Mother must be one

Indeed, she must" answered the Baby
Baboon thoughtfully. The fact Is, you
were so quiet she tiptoed up to see what
you were doing and"
How did you know that?" asked Jimmy

MODERN LOVERS ANTICS SORRY
SPECTACLE, M'LISS WRITES
Has Forgotten Art of Graceful Love- Making and
Has Not Yet Learned That Women Like
Courtiers or Cave-Men

The telephone and the telegraph have
been blamed for the passing OF many
of the amenities Of life Certainly they
have made Of the love letter a sorry thing.
What shall we do when we grow into
old ladies without the solace of neat lit
tie yellowed packages of sentimental
missives tied with faded blue ribbon? Shall
we be forced to stand before our grand
children without this most important of
all proof that we have not led love-
less life? Shall we have to content our.
selves with reminiscing over a few brief
dispatches, or, failing this to depend on
abstract memory to rejuvenesce our
aging hearts2
l rise to protest against the modern
lover. He is neither a courtier nor a
caveman. He knows not how to domi.
nate or to supplicate. He is on the verge
OF letting the initiative of the courtship
pass out of his hands altogether and into
those of women. He does not summarily
marry the woman of his choice with
vlgor and aggression that would keep
her enthralled for the rest of his life,
nor is he practiced in the delicate art of
love.making that could Undue the most
average woman with the feelings of
queen and angel.
Fancy your modern lover sending
posy to his tickle sweetheart with these
words:
go. lovely rose
Tell her that wastes her time and mo
That now she knows
When l resemble her TO thee,
How sweet and fair she seems to be !"
No; your modern lover would say,

let them do 1t with grace and charm.
Otherwise we want the cave.men.

Had he kissed her on the lips he would

All of which brings me to point that
I have been considering for some time.
Love-making as an art, except In a few
isolated instances, has become dead. SO
long as there are men and women in the
world they will love each other-that is
surely a safe prophecy-but all evidences
that their affection will be beautified and
mystif1ed with the hundred and one

Il may be from excess of emotion, but
