"1hE GREEN HOUR"
When All Paris Sits Down For Its Sip of
Absinth.

Absinth.
Your American tourist, fitting through
Paris In his summer jog to the Riviera or
to Rome, with his palate accustomed to
the favoritc tipplcs Of New York, finds
food for curious reflection in the Parisian's
absinth. The Frcnchman's green hour"
is to him an unknown quality. The alb
smith outfit in Paris is n tall carafc OF ICED
water, a full sized goblet, u fiat spoon with
pierced bowl and cake Of beet sugar.
From a bottle OF thick, oily, green absinth
the garcon pours into tho goblet lnycr
whose thickness grows slowly until your
upliftcd finger warns him you have
enough. Two fingers is Il good beginning.
After that you are likely to take more.
When the garcon has departed, you lay tho
silver spoon across the top of the goblet,
place the fiat cake Of sugar In its bowl,
which is nude exactly to hold it, and rour
a tiny stream of iced water from the carafc
slowly upon II. The water tricklcs down
through the howl, dissolving the sugar rs
1t comes, and by the time the goblet is
full the water has turned from the deep
green of the pure absinth to the murk-
ish ycllowish green which one forever
aftcrwartl associates with the drink.
Now sip it slowly as you would IN egg
nog and feel your temperature rise, bring
ing with it mild thirst and n gnawing
appetite This is the green hour" from
s to in the evening, and you are now
part of it. AS you grow deliciously warmer
and your thoughts come quicker and the
atmosphere grows rosier, look at the COB
let, and, watching it's changing dolphin
colors, think how like this drink is to the
Frenchman himself, who has made 1t his
own. 1t is soft and milky, like his man
ners, seasoned and sharply spiced like his
taste, pcrfumcd and fragrant like his fop-
perry, exquisitely sweetened like his polite
ness, bitter like his philosophy, green like
his jealousy, yellow like his morality and
infaming like his passions.-New York
