class

equipment

is

desired

:

Cordial,

three-quarter-ounce

glass

;

Port

Wine,

two-ounce

glass;

Burgundy

Wine,

three-ounce

glass;

Claret,

four-ounce

glass;

small

goblet,

seven

ounces;

rég-

ulation

goblet,

For

Champagne,

the

old-style

saucer-shape

bowl

is

displaced

by

the

hollow-stem

round

bowl

glass

of

from

four

to

six-ounce

capacity.

The

bead

and

sparkle

given

to

the

wine

by

the

hollow

stem

is

obtained

in

no

other

shape,

therefore

leaves the

other

style

glasses

out

of

considér-

ation.

The

Khine

wine

glass

should

be

the

round

bowl

shape,

but

standing

on

a

somewhat

higher

stem.

The

Brandy

or

Pouss

Cafe

in

the

three-quarter-ounce

size,

and

the

Sherry

in

the

two-ounce

size,

should

have

long

stems

and

taper

bowls,

with

straight

sides,

neither

flaring

or

cupped.

The

Cocktail

glass

has

its

own

particular

shape,

standing

on

a

high

stem,

with

a

low,

wide

taper

bowl.

The

Hot

Whisky

is

a

four

and

a

half-ounce

or

five-ounce

stem

glass,

with

a

flaring

or

bell-top

bowl.

Bar

bottles,

bitter

bottles,

cordial

cruets

and

decanters

should

conform

in

quality

and

pattern.

Pages

can

be

written

on

this

subject,

and

still

leave

uncov-

ered

many

other

détails

that

should

receive

full

considération

in

the

matter

of

equipment

for

bar

service,

but

a

close

observ-

ance

of

the

requirements

for

a

jjroper

equipment

of

glassware

cannot

fail

to

increase

the

popularity

of

a

liquor

dispensary.

A

glass

for

every

need

should

be

the

constant

rule.
