-THRILLS!-- "
All Part of the Day’s Work
Back at the turn of the century “Isn’t It Thrilling?" was one
of the feminine hon mots of the day. The girls were usually talk
ing about a nete hat, a trip to Europe, or forthcoming wedding
festivities. But in 1940 unsung heroines are taking thrills in their
stride as part of the day s work. For instance—

COOL DRINKS ARE REFRESI

Even on the stickiest, hottest sum

will reiresn you.

particular, are

actually ward off the heat of sum
mer.
Fruit beverages provide the min
erals and vitamins the body re
quires, and, because of the sugar
added for sweetening, are fairly
high in food energy.
It’s very easy to serve "soda foun
tain specials” at home. Any combi
nation of fruit juices makes a de
lightful and refreshing beverage—
provided some of the more tart
juices, such as those from lemons,
slightly sour oranges, or rhubarb—
are used to keep the beverage from
tasting too sweet and flat. Use slices
of orange or lemon, mint leaves,
whole, fresh or canned cherries or
berries, for garnishing. Ice cubes
for chilling fruit drinks or iced tea
might be frozen from orange or lem
on juice, to avoid diluting the bev
erage. Mint leaves, bits of lemon
peel or cherries can be frozen into
the cubes. For iced coffee, pour
some of the coffee into the freezing
tray of your refrigerator, and
freeze. Then use the coffee cubes
for chilling the drink.
Sugar syrup, used for sweetening,
is easily mixed throughout the whole
urintt, ana mattes
a smoother tast
ing, smoother tex
tured drink, than
when unmelted
sugar has been
added. To make
the sugar syrup,
boil 4 cups of sug
ar with 4 cups or water, for 10 min
utes. Pour into clean, hot jars, and
seal. Store in refrigerator, and use
as needed.
Serve crisp cookies or dainty
sandwiches with iced drinks for sim
ple afternoon or evening refresh
ments.
Lemonade.
Follow these three rules If you
want to make perfect lemonade: Use
fresh lemon juice and plenty of it;
sweeten to the taste of each—not
too much sweetening for folks who
like it sour—sweeter for those with
a sweet tooth; use ice and more ice.
For each person served, allow:
1 lemon
1 to 2 tablespoons sugar or honey
1 cup cold water
Ice
Extract lemon juice. Add sugar
or honey to taste. Stir to dissolve.
Add wgiter. Serve over ice in large
glasses. Garnish with lemon slice
on rim of glass. To make lemon
fizz, make lemonade with carbon
ated water.
