"FINE PICK-UP DRINK"

AMERICAN ICED COFFEE San Francisco is famous for its coffee, and in addition, the care San Franciscans use in preparing coffee is reflected in the quality of the iced drink (states a writer in the San Francisco ‘Chronicle’). Iced coffee, with or without sligar or cream, is a pleasant variation from hot coffee, and is a delightful beverage during the day. Its stimulating quality makes it a fine pick-up drink. Those who enjoy a glass in the late afternoon will notice the r,ii>k energy it provinces. To servo iced coffee at its best, the beverage must be made with the same exacting care as used iff preparing hot coffee, always remembering to use good coffee, make it well, and have it strong enough. TWO GOOD METHODS. Here are two ways of making it: 1. Prepare regular strength coffee beverage and set in a refrigerator in a covered container for three to six hours to chill thoroughly-' When this is.done the delicious flavour of hot coffee is retained; And when the! cold beVerago is added to cubes of ice in the tall serving glasses, there is little or no dilution of'the coffefe. 2. Tf there is not time to follow this procedure, simply make double strength coffee, I ’using four let el trtblespOOnfuls of coffee to each cup of water and pour the hot coffee over the ice in tall glasses. Variations of the above are:

Coffee Cooler.—-Place a scoop of vanilla ice cream in each tall glass of thoroughly' chilled coffee. Top with a spoonful of whipped cream if desired. Mocha Float.—Place two tablespoons whipped cream in bottom of each glass. Add a scoop of chocolate ice cream. Fill glass with thoroughly chilled iced coffee.'

With flavoured whipped cream.— Fofl ‘ variety, top iced coffee with whipped cream flavoured with sweetened chocolate folded in _ (or cinnamon ahd nutmeg or grated bitter chocolate folded in; or with grated'orange peel folded in). . Coffee Cubes.—Freeze single strength coffee in mechaniral refrigerator. Them use these coffee ice cubes and single strength coffee made in your regular way for all the above recipes.

are found in some of the paler, cicar shades.

Frosted glass looks cool and pretty, especially when it is combined with very fine bands of plain silver or gold. Sherry sets, including glasses and decanters, are made of it, and there are also sets of tumblers as well as wine glasses made of this frosted glass and decorated here and there with tiny gold stars. Golden ships in full sail are depicted on some of the glass receptacles—notably a sherry decanter, with glasses decorated with gilt waves to match. There are also sets of tumblers in clear glass, each tumbler being decorated by a different animal painted in colours upon it.
