“ WHAT SHALL WE DRINK ? "
The great question of these tropical days is "What Shall We Drink!" I think all media! men are agreed that the less alcohol we consume in hot weather the better for us.. Eren light. beer will be preferable in this sense to ordinary ses, and stout is not to be thought of if we wish to keep moderately cool."
*
For those who are engaged all day let me recommend a novel combination--I mean a little Bertil (cokt of course), nude in the ordinary way, and added soda water. I have found this drink staining and pleasant."
