In the wintertime these make excel- lent punches, hot or chilled, spiced or livened with lemon or vinegar. Iced Tea is always best and clear- est made and poured hot over the ice. It should be made almost double strength and the glass filled three- quartors full of chopped ice. With the usual lemon, try adding several whole cloves to the steeping tea. A most refreshing flavor as well as aromatic fragrance makes it a choice drink for hot weather. Blackberry Mint is one of the fav- orite "coolers" at our house. Take a few mint leaves and crush in the bot- tom of the glass. Allow two table- spoonfuls of blackberry syrup of the consistency and sweetness of unboiled jelly juice. Fill with half a glass of cold water and chopped ice. Pineapple Spice is easily prepared and served nicely for either home re- freshment or at club or social. Cook together one shredded fresh pineapple with the juice and rind of two lemons, two sticks of cinnamon, a half tea- spoonful of ground ginger and two cupfuls of sugar. The syrup should be quite sweet and more sugar may be used if desired. Simmer an liour, drain through a bag and bottle, using one- third glassful of the juice over cracked ice and fill the glass with water. Iced Coffee is made a number of dif- erent ways, but a most satisfactory one is to make the coffee double strength and, like the tea, pour it over a three-quarters filled glass of ice, serving a heaping tablespoonful of whipped cream on top. When stir- red into the coffee the color is just right and the flavor excellent. Chocolate Whip is not only a cool drink but a nourishing food as well. Make a rich cocoa and chill. Beat an egg for each glass. Mix into the-chill- ed cocoa and pour over a small quan- tity of chopped ice. Top with whip- ped cream in which cherries have EASIER UPSTAIRS WORK. By keeping on the second floor a carpet sweeper, a small basket con- taining dusters, cleaning brashes, bathroom cleaners, polish and any- thing likely to be needed, much run- ning up and down stairs will be saved.
