Take Your Choice,

The m issu s — w ho w rite s our
Woman's Column in the Clarion
under the name of "Nancy (Isle"—
gets letters about recipes, advice on
etiquette, home management, etc.
"Any beverage your gu ests prefer.
You don't hare to serve cider — any
more than you hare to serve beer
...b u t it’s often courteous to let
guests have a choice.”
One letter she got last week was
about a recipe she published for
Welsh Rarebit—made with tart
cheese, Worcestershire, and a cup
of sparkling tangy beer. “ Turned
out great," says her correspondent.
“ But you didn't mention what bev-
erage to serve w ith it. Should I
serve beer? Cider? Iced tea?"
The missus' answer was simply:
From whore I sit. that simple
answer applies to more items than
Welsh Rarebit. In a world where
everyone has different tastes and
ideas—we should recognize those
inferences and never deny the
right of choice to anyone 1
