Italy are not teetotalers, but they have always been abstemious in the matter of stimulants. The Kaiser, indeed, has done everything in ‘his power to encourage ‘temperance, because, as he declares, “thenext war will demand healthy men; war calls for strong nerves, and victory will crown the colors of the nation which consumes the least alcohol.” The Crown Prince of Germany does not drink, and while a «student at Bonn he gave offence to the uniâ€" versity by protesting vigorously against the drinking of an exagger- ated quantity of beer as part and parcel of the procedure 0} the old- estvablished student societles.

It was in King Edward’s day that the cellars at Buckingham Palace were worth considering. His Ia/te Majesty was as particularahout his wines as about everything else. He drank steadily, yet no one ever saw him the worse for liquor, and he ‘prided himself on being a, great judge of all food and drink. His favorite hostesses were those who gave him well-chosen meals with just the right wines“ He was not in any sense of the word a. gourmand, but he was. a, gourmet, and, his peoâ€" ple rather admired him for it, just as they secretly admire-d hind for having the best of everything all his life. Queen Alexandra is not a tee- _tot,a1er, and her favorite wine, which is served at lunch and dinâ€" ner, is a, rather heavy burgundy. Occasionally she has champagne; but'not as she did in King Ed- ward’s day, when a; very fine brand of champagne was always served. A very good-natured ' lady, who frequently assisted a, very extrava- gantrelative, having one summer lent her a, considerable sum of mon- ey, was surprised and annoyed a few months later to be asked to make a further advance in order that some pressing debts might be settled. “I am very sorry,’l"said the kindhelertâ€" ed'lady,‘ “but I can’t possibly help you again just now. In order to lend you that money some time.ag0 I was forced to go without a. motor- car this season.” “Dear me,” was the reply, “if I had only known that I should have been delighted to lend you mine I” A Lady Finds Help from Simple Food.
