EVENING: ---
When the day's duties cre over, body and mind demand rest and diversion. So whether you are at home in the society of chosen friends, or dining out; whether at the club, the theatre, the dance or the concert; no matter where you are, if you take a bever- age, it must contribute properly to your enjoyment. Therefore, choose it with the greatest prudence. De- war's the superb old Scotch Whis- ky is a true and delightful aid to an evening's recreation. It is praised everywhere.
