which nas lately been taken MP by
,,',rops of soft DRINKS establishments
a that uf using strsws through wnien
10 drink. This 10 new idea "nlen
mas taken bold az sOda founts the past
few wears. How il started no one
knows. Il tnlnk the straw destroys
70 q great extent the pleasure OF tne
arink said a well known caterer the
other day. because in using the straw
the drink goes down the center OF tne
mouth and does not touch any portion.
To get the full pleasure Of tne drink u
should go Into ali parts OF the mouth.
The taste is not confined alone 10 =
small strip IN the center. To me tne
straw simply ruins the drink, ana l
would not have it A good NUMBER oI
people are Just Ms | am ABOUT tne
straw, ana will not use ii at ALL put
nearly all the young people use IL,
simply because it is a sort or tad, ana
the Young felix's are great on fads, you
know. 1t does not make so much
difference in drinking a dope.
because that has so much gas IN II,
and has such a peculiar flavor, that
one has to sip it, and then the straw
does very we'll II is impossible almost
for nerson TO drlns a glass OF coco
cola by putting the glass to the mouth
one, two or three times. II must DC
sipped or at least drank very slowly.
But any of the SOFAS, which have
really delightful havors. should De
drank without straw. Then the
drinker gets the full benefit OF the
drink, and 1t is much more enjoyable
There is a great difference In how
and what people drink. AS stated
before, CLERKS and Office people drink
the COCO cola TO a very large extent
They also drink good many phos-
pnates. which are also very refresh
ing. The reason IS that they are at
work; and shut up IN offices and bust
ness houses, where they are cut off to
a great extent from the fresh air, they
become depressed And then. being
pusy, they waste no time at the fuunt.
They drink and get out. Not so with
the society girl She has all the time
she is looking for, ana when she goes
into a soft drink establishment she
goes for a stay. Usually she has two
or three friends with her, and they sit
down for good time. No dope goes
with them. They usually take some
SOfU OF Ice, UT tIutb, VI Sdt lVO SAOoA4,
drink orange tufts, 'portsangeree,
ice cream sodas, etc. Frequently the
society girls at one sitting will take
three or four drinks. But the sittlngs,
you see, are so much longer, lasting
sometimes more than half an hour.
They discuss last nights functions.
and what is going on in society, ana
what is on the boards for next week,
etc.
1t is not strange that the greatest
enemies in the world are the soft
drinks ,aan and the weather man. Of
course. one might imagine that cool
weather is not good for the soda
founts But did you know Just the
least change in the weather affects the
soda fount? On hot day, when the
sun is pouring down heat and every
BODY is making break for the soda
fount, Just let black cloud get over
the sun. and instantly you will notice
a lull at the soda founts. The worst
DAYS OF all on the founts is rainy
day. 1t is worse than cool weather.
The season is now drawing to close,
but 1t still has two good months
ahead of 1t yet. In his season. the
soda fount man In INDISPENSABLE TO
humanity, and If 1t were not for his
cooling beverage life would hardly be
worth living when the Thermometer Is
Jumping around the 100 mark In the
shade.
