WE COME now to the experiment. ¥or security reasons some of the details must be left out. It's no secret that drinking out of a woman's slipper dates back to the 18th Century, The Hungarians ~. started the cute custom: ig . s It wasn’t enough in Hungary'to be a gay blade in order to hoist a slug in a young lady’s boot. ‘You had to be a bridegroom.

Tennis shoes should be avoided like the plague when one is searching for a vessel. I say that even though in my memory there isn’t one occasion where after a game of tennis I felt like toasting anyone. But, different people like different things. : All in all, friends, glasses are to be preferred over shoes in spite of the fact that so many people use glasses. Not as romantic, perhaps, but when you raise a glass you're pretty sure it's an olive instead of a corn plaster that fell in. Evenings at home are so much fun, don't you think?
