CIDER TIME
IN ID. G..

MIXED drinks are in such a
lV1 complicated stage these days
that many a hostess preparing
for the holiday parties will be
glad to be reminded that there is
At least one drink which she won't
have to try on her cocktail
shaker. The time. the place and
the manner for it's use are now
upon US. And what it is-weIl.
you've guessed it-cider.
Just why cider has been neg
lected these latter years in favor
OF far less delicious connections is
A question quite unanswerable.
Just why chubby beings who as
pire passionately to angles, go on
drinking gin and ginger ale. when
cider, which is famous for it's re.
ducing virtues. is not used, pre-
ssnts another one Of these riddles.

To Clean Cane Chairs

DRUSH with a stiff clean
- brush. Colored wickerwork
should not be cleaned with soap
and water, but rubbed with a
buster moistened with parafin. A
little furniture polish sparingly
rubbed on will help to get rid of
the smell. White cane chairs may
be washed with salt and water in
the proportion of four table
spoons OF salt to a gallon of
water. Use a nail brush and do
not make the cane work too wet,
or it will crack. Rinse. wipe, and
dry in a current of fresh air. The
use of lemon juice and water,
thoroughly rinsed off afterwards,
will restore the wilderness to

make it yellow.
