No. 11. — Spanish Chocolate. — One pint milk; one
square chocolate ; vanilla and sugar. Put all together
on the stove and beat with an egg beater the whole
time until it comes to a boil; then serve. It pays one
for the trouble.
No. 12. Pineapple Lemonade. — Juice of three
lemons; one can shredded pineapple; two lemons cut
in round slices. Water and sugar to taste✪ Chocolate. Mix all
well. Serve in glasses with cracked ice. A few straw-
berries can be added when in season.
No. 13. Broma. — Rub one tablespoonful of broma
smooth in a little cold water; add to one cup of boiling
milk, salt, sugar and vanilla to taste. Serve with
whipped cream. This quantity makes one cup full.
No. 14. Oolong Lemonade.— Make the same as
Russian tea, using Oolong tea and plain lemonade.
No. 15. Celebrated "Fish House" Punch. —
Enough for forty people. One quart French brandy;
two quarts Jamaica rum; one quart lemon juice; four
gills peach brandy ; two pounds sugar✪ Celebrated 'Fish House' Punch. Dissolve sugar
in as much water as there are quarts of liquor; add
lemon juice and liquor, and pour over fifteen pounds
of ice. Stand aside for three hours, then serve.
No. 16. Fruit Punch. — Juice of five lemons ; juice of
five oranges; one pint strawberry juice; one can grat-
ed pineapple; one quart apollinaris water; one pound
sugar; one cup water; one cup strong tea✪ Fruit Punch and boiling
water. Make a syrup with the sugar and water by
boiling five minutes; add the fruit juices, apollinaris
water, and cup of freshly made tea and weaken with
boiling water to desired strength.

No. 17. Egg Nog. — Six eggs; two cups sugar; one-
half pint of brandy or whiskey; three pints of cream✪ Egg Nog
whipped to a froth. Beat yolks of eggs and sugar;
add liquor, next whites of eggs beaten stiff, and last the
whipped cream. Season to taste with nutmeg and
serve ice co1d.
Right here a word may not be amiss regarding the
serving of wines at dinner. The rule, I find, is, imme-
diately after the soup, dry white wines are offered,
such as Marsala, Sherry, Madeira, dry Syracuse, etc.
With fish, dry wines are also served. With oys-
ters, Chablis is preferred. With the roast comes Bor-
deaux or Champagne, or both.
With the entrewets, champagne only, which is also
served with the entrees and reveles. With dessert, liq-
ueur wines, such as Frontignan, Sunel, Port, Tokay,
Lacrima-Christi, etc.
But the drinking of many wines at a meal is a gross
form of luxury, and a fine Bordeaux, Burgundy or a
dry Champagne is far more acceptable, and will be
much more enjoyed. Champagne should be served cold,
but not with ice. To my mind, a long dinner, of many
heavy courses and wines, is tiresome and lacking in
good taste.

paste, which is formed into balls. Lay the balls on
greased paper, and as they are cooling press on the
top of each a small nut, or half of a large one.
