(Health and money! — A Spanish toast) The daily menu for a Spanish caballero, or gentleman, might as well be put down under drinks, for the Spaniard rises late and has a pony of liqueur with his chocolate, wine with his lunch, manzanilla (light sherry) before his late dinner, wine again with that, a nightcap of brandy and so to bed. Desayuno, early breakfast; chocolate or coffee, usually with anise liqueur, of which the French anisette is a sweeter imita- tion. There are a score of brands of anise, each with its in- dividual flavor, but Anis del Mono, with the monkey grinning on the label, is an old standby likely to best please the American palate.
