After using up all my energy ami spending two whole days in the jostling crowd I bought a poker set. Aunt Hetty was ready to criticise, as a matter of course, but when I explained, with what patience I could command, "(hat Jack taught me to play poker, that our lovemaking then be gan and as partners we progressed in it until Jack declared himself on the golf links.” she was silenced. "Senti ment and association.” She grudgingly admitted, were both included, and "al together it was not such a bad buy.” I'm really proud of my purchase.

These recipes, like old wine, improve with age and, tradition hao It. became famous some 50 years ago, when Dinah collected all the pickanin nies on the plantation to shell walnuts and almonds, chop raisins and pulver ise spices with mortar and pestle and chefs and their assistants were an un known duality. In those good old ante bellum day* mint Juleps ami eggnog held imperious sway. Like the super annuated circuit rider preacher, they've outlived their usefulness, and newer j drinks tickle the risibilities. ‘ Fltz-Hugh punch" Is a good Chrlst ! mas drink for my southern friends, and ) to my northern constituents I w'ould suggest "Hancock high balls.*' The former Is made of the following Ingre dient;: Crush half a lemon, add a teaspoon ful of fine sugar, a big lump of Ice, one Jigger of whisky. Mix well. Trim with fruit and add sellers. It is considered clever to brew drinks upon the arrival of each guest. The "Dewey high ball” is particularly adapt ed to the method, as a shaker is brought Into play. Put the juice and rind of 1 half a lemon into a glass partly filled with finely chopped Ice. Pour over this i one-third of a jigger of Santa Cruz and : two jiggers of whisky. Shake vigor ously, and serve in a long, thin glass, i with n dash of carbonated water. Here's an eggnog substitute which is a great find: Beat up the yolks of two eggs with two tablespoonfuis of fine sugar, add juice of half a lemon and two jiggers of orange brandy. Serve in mugs, dusted on top with grated nutmeg. One mix Is enough for two. Jack has tested the merits of tfiis drink. He smacks hts lips and says. "There's nothing wanting In quality, but It lacks in quantity."
