What Shall We Drink?

Into a goblet one-third full of shaved ice pour equal parts

of Claret wine and seltzer or carbonated water, sweetening

with "gum"to suit taste and stirring in some grated nutmeg

as desired.

MIXING A RHINE AND SELTZER

This simple drink is much hked by the Germans. Fill a

wine goblet half full of Rhine Wine,add two ice cubes and fill

glass with very cold seltzer. Stir and drink.

MIXING A RHINE WINE LEMONADE

Use wine goblet and put in juice of a half lemon,a table

spoon of "gum," cracked ice to fill at least a third of glass,
