Ono of the best of these summer drinks Is combined In the following proportions : To one quart of Ice cold spirkllng mineral water , ndd one pint of American champagne and as many pieces of cut sugar ns will sweeten It to the taste. Three tablespooim- ful of pineapple , cut In small triangular pieces , two tables ocnsful of strawberries nnd a few slices of ornnco peel cut so thin that they will float upon the surface of the punch. This Is ono that may bo recom mended to gl\o unmitigated delight. When U U not desired to use champagne n weak solution of Cevlon tea may be sub stituted and ninrachlno cherries used In stead of the strawberries. The Juice of grape fruit , with just n soupcon of Santa Cruz rum. Is also used as the oasis of this punch. It Is considered particularly re freshing. A light red wine punch Is made by adding n pint of California iclaret to n quart of the sparkling water nnd the Juice of four or five lemons. It should bo sweetened with cut sugar. A few stalks of mint arc of Inestima ble value to gl\o It n pleasant flavor. Straw berries nro the only fruit that really go well with this punch. When sficos of cucum bers nnd bananas are seen floating about , they appeal more strongly to one's sense of the grew some than to the palate. The once famous gttn\a jelly punch has re established Its claim to popularity. It Is commonly made after nn old recipe which recommends using ono part of lemon Juice , two parts of sweet guavn jelly and white sugar that has been dlssohcd In boiling water ; three parts of old rum nnd four parts of water. Although e\ccHont , the punch Is much he-avler than Is desirable for a sum mer beverage. Individuality and the artistic sense enter largely Into thcso punches , and there scorn to bo almost ns many ways of making them as there are Individuals. A fair woman , when afcked for her especial recipe , Is apt to answer , as the old cooks are said to have done , that she puts In a pinch of this and n toss of that , and that after a twirl or two the best punch ever known Is the result. From such a one the following recipe for homo-mado root beer was extracted : "Dig three and a half quarts of lukewarm water , llttlo one-hart jenst cake , very big one and a half pounds of sugar , nnd rather big one- third of n bottle of root beer extract. " She graciously added that It should bo corked tightly. Cafe frappe anil Iced tea are seen on many of the tables nt 5 o'clock Instead of the chocolate and hot tea that were customary durliiR the winter There Is no doubt , how ever but tint the punches nro their success fill rUals In the eyre of fashion One of the prettiest of these afternoon tables recently soon wa.s decorated with peach blossoms. At Us side was placed n large hospitable lookIng - Ing punch bowl , and It was filled with the cool , delicious drink that is hero flrot men tioned. Over the edges of the bowl hung Ko\cral largo bunches of white grapes. In n i meet remarkable stateof presemtlon They were sprinkled here and there with powdcro < l sugar. The whole effect of the table was charming , and It seemed that It had the power to dispel much of that tired feeling that COMICS along with the spring.
