THE RITUAL OF WINE
DRINKING.
SUBTLETIES OF A RARE ART,
The poets and proso poots who have been celebrating the glories of the wine of Franca this week have had science come to their aid at to-day's mosting of the National Congress, writes The Times' Paris cor respondent on March 17th: Dr. Louis Matheiu, Professor of the Faculty of Science at Bordeaux, bas explained scientifically the subtle art of tasting good wine-the "psycho-physiology" favouring it.
There are three factors to be considered in this scienfile examination-the wine, the taster, and circumstances which suround him. For the wine there are its colour, its clear. nose, its bouquet. The taster's capacity of appreciation depends upon his ancestry, age, sex, education, temperament, health, and mood. The variation in delicacy of sensation produced by a particular wine upon all these factors in the taster is, declares Dr. Mathieu, a mere matter of mathematics to be reduced to a tahle of formula.
ezen
But Dr. Mathieu's science changes to lyricism when he considers scientifically how wines should be drunk at dinner. The great principle is to have a crescendo of effect upon one's sensory appartus. For this THOR the stronger wines should be kept till the last-frst, because
wines the weaker weaker after strong ones, and, secondly, because as the dinner progresses one's sensi» bility diminishes. It would, therefore, be heresy to drink port.after soup, as that would kill all the wines that followed. It would also be an error to end a meal with dry champangne. Bat, Dr. Mathieu com plains, no one any longer knows how to drink or to eat..
According to this authority, the proper order of wines at dinner should be Chablis or Ponily with oysters and fish; with the entrée, Beaujolais, light Burgundy, or Bordeaux; with the raist, and above all with game, the grands crus_should he chosen, & château wine, & Vougeot
With a Chambertin.
rosst veal Beaune or Pommard should be drunk, or, perhaps, dry champagne, sweet or demi-sec, should be taken with dessert, and before coffee a glass of port in the Eaglish fashion. Afterwards cogane or Armaguas.

And, of course, you cannot appreciate the savours of these wires unless you are delibe Fate and degan in sour lasting. The room, the table, the company, the shape and quality of glasses, make a diffe ence; and also, though Dr. Mathieu does not weation is, the- sound of the names of the wines. Could any liquid bearing such a name as Margaux, Latour, Chanibertin, or Clos du Roi taste wholy ill?
"CONSTRUCTIVE BIRTH
CONTROL".
The Constructive Birth Control Society held, nt Essex Hall, Strand, on March 16th, a meeting to which they had invited op position. Dr. Marie Stopes, who prraided, declared that they advocated their views 'in the interests of a common humanity. The Roman Catholic Church was the only Church that had shown definite and or ganised opposition to them.
Mr. Halford Hewitt stated the views of members of the Roman Catholic Church on the matter, emphasising the fact that marriage was a sacrament, and they be lieved that artificial birth control was .& violation of the law of God. Those who practised it were guilty of sin. This view, ibe believed, was also held by 95 per cent. of members of the Church of England, and it was also held by the Greek Church, the Mahammedans, and the Jews.
Mr. Aylmer Maude, replying, said that to be fruitful and multiply in the early days of the Church might have been i wise admonition, but it was not so to-day. In this matter Protestants appealed rather to reason, but Catholics to authority.
Among the subsequent speakers a gentle man who said that he felt what the Con- structive Birth Society advocated was wrong. Birth control was worse than a pestilence, and would mean the death of the race, and sooner or later the effects of it would. come back upon them. The movement simply meant selfishness masquerading as piendo- science. Other speakers followed, and some warmth characterised the proceedings throughout.
-GIRL STUDENTS CHOICE. COOKERY PREFERRED TO FREUD.
Opponents of advanced feminism are chuckling overthe sequel to the venture of Edna Taylor, a girl under-guate who dis- appeared recently from Chicago University.
The girl was eventually discovered in a private house in the city," where she had taken a position as a servant. At the univer sity Miss Taylor was engaged on the study of philosophy and other varieties of what her father described as "advanced rubbish." After she was found her parents gave out a statement that the girl was suffering from reaction from over-study and was tam- porarily not responsible for her actions.
The girl herself now announces the abandonment of her university career, She states that she no longer reeks "the expan sion of her soul." She believes that the best place for a girl is home. "Instead of Fread," she told an interviewer, "I'm going to study the cookery book."
Progress, according to a report from New York, is being made by Mr. Henry Ford with experiments to make motor- cars out of a mixture of formaldehyde, glue, and cotton. The idea is to reduce weight. It the substanca can be made sufficiently tough, Mr. Ford proposes to
stamp" his cotton lizzies,
