A
BACHELOR'S
CUPBOARD
What
to
Pay
for
Wines
$2.00
the
bottle,
with
Bourbon
and
Gold
Seal
close
rivals.
When
it
comes
to
ales
and
beers,
most
men
have
their
tastes
as
w^ell
developed
as
in
the
w^hiskies,
and
vv^ill
choose
their
favorite
brand.
The
imported
Ger-
man
beers
are
quite
worth
while,
but
it's
hard
to
beat
our
own
Anheuser
Busch
and
"
the
beer
that
made
Milwaukee
famous
"
—
Schlitz.
"To
drink
and
love,"
said
Daphnis,
"is
my
plan;
For
life
is
short
and
I
am
but
a
man."
THE
The
judging
of
wines
is
an
important
JUDGE'S
part
of
every
bachelor's
education.
To
STAND
judge
properly
is
as
fine
an
art
as
painting
a
picture
or
composing
a
poem.
The
connoisseur
des
vins
should
be
able
at
once
to
detect
the
faults
of
a
wine.
Wine
is
like
women
and
song
—
it
has
its
faults,
and
is
occasionally
off
the
key.
That's
why
the
three
go
together.
When
a
man
says
he
is
an
expert
judge
of
wines,
look
out
for
him.
The
chances
are
that
the
only
brands
he
ever
tasted
are
Mumm's
and
Grandma's
Grape
Juice,
claret
lemonade,
Near-Stein-mit-Sizzler,
and
Hock,
and
that
he
wouldn't
know
sherry
from
Cheret.
Nine
points for
a
bachelor
to
remember
in
judging
the
juice
of
the
vine
are:
(i)
The
color.

at
the
beginning,
roseate
at
the
ending,
and
yellow

the
