The perfect hostess IS one
VINO knows not only how to
prepare an excellent dinner.
gastronomically. but who also
knows Just what wines to serve
with each course. and the
proper temperature Of each
wine.
The following is q list Of Just
what wines should 60 with each
course:
With the oysters, caviar or
any fish hors d'oeuverS or ap-
petizer-Dry sauterne or White
Burgundy.
With the soup course
Sherry.
With the fish-white Bur-
gundy, Sauterne, Rhine wine
or MoSelle.
With the entree-Claret.
With the roaSt-Champagne.
II there Is game-Burgundy.
II there Is q cheese course
Port wine should be served.
With the coffee. Of course
Liqueurs.
A real German will always
enjoy a stein or glass Of excel
lent beer, like Pilsener, after
the entire dinner is over. This
1S o custom Of his country.
The Correct Glass
It Is very important to see
that each wine Is served in the
proper glass; there are glasses
so named for each wine. The
Sauterne should be served
preferably in a red glass;
sherry, in the so-called sherry
glass; Rhine wine, usually in q
long green glass called q
Roemer; claret always in q
white glass; Burgundy in a
Burgundy glass, white crystal
but slightly different in shape
than the claret glass. Port
wine can be served in q sherry
glass If regular port wine
glasses are not available, and
GQueurs always in the small
pony or liqueur glass.
To Chill or Not
An important part in serving
wines is to know the proper
temperature Of each. Sauterne
and MoSelle should always be
served quite cold; Sherry should
always be Of a moderate tenn
perature, Claret should be Of the
temperature of the room. A
good general rule is white
wines cooled; still red wines,
natural room temperature.
Champagne can be served
very cold. Some prefer their
champagne trapped" Amer
leans always like their cham
payne well.iced, while Europeans
usually prefer the champagne
the temperature Of the cellar.
Red still Burgundy should be Of
the temperature Of the room in
which it is served, but white or
sparkling Burgundy cold like
iced champagne, and of course,
everyone knows about liqueurs.
They should be served at the
best temperature of the room
unless served trapped" with
shaved ice.
# the hostess is fortunate
enough to possess some real old
vintage brandy, it is served in
the large, long-stemmed inhaler
goblet, to permit the aroma to
aSsail the nostrils.

derwood, county coroner estimated
that Litham had been dead 10 or
IL days.

that he learned the man had been
subject to heart attacks and it is
thought he had gone to bed on the
night of his death, arose and wan
dered about outside for few
moments before stricken by the
fatal attack. The body was entire
ly unclothed when found.
Litham who was a painter and
cook by trade, worked for Carl

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 9. U.H =
The California legislative act which
created the Imperial Irrigation
District was unconstitutional, it
was charged in a suit on file to-
day in federal court by the New
Cal Electric Securities Company of
Nevada.
The company, which has home
offices in Tonopah, owns large
acreages within the district, the
complaint set forth, and would
suffer through the districts plan
to create electric power from the
Colorado river because the assess
project would be ''confiScatory."
The suit demands that directors
of the district be restrained from
any further steps toward generation
or distribution of electrical energy.
The government was asked to
void the act OF the 1919 Cali

district was created, insofar as the
act authorizes the defendants to
operate any plant generating
electricity.

were served on members Of the

the future.
The President went on to explain
that confidence was returning to
agriculture, bringing in spite of the
drought, practicable planning in
