MEASURES

I

wish

to

emphasize

the

absolute

necessity

for

accurate

measuring;

to

be

a

successful

mixer

of

drinks,

one

must

measure

as

carefully

as

one

should

when

cooking.

I

use

the

measures

I

have

in

my

kitchen,

and

have

used

them

in

making

these

recipes.

Surely

one

has

a

quart

cup,

a

half

MEASURING

SPOONS

pint,

or

one

cup,

measure

and

a

set

of

spoons;

the

table-

spoon,

dessertspoon,

teaspoon

and

half

teaspoon.

Some

sets

have

the

quarter-teaspoon

too.

These

sets,

made

of

aluminum,

may

be

purchased

in

any

hardware

store,

or

in

the

housekeeping

department

in

the

large

shops

at

very

rea-

sonable

prices.

The

glass

cup

is

marked

for

quarter,

half

GLASS

MEASURING

CUPS

and

three-quarters

on

one

side,

while

on

the

reverse

the

marking

is

for one-third

and

two-thirds.

The

quart

cup

is

marked

for

quarter,

half

and

three-quarters

;

each

quarter

being

equal

to

one

cupful.
