DRINKING in Berlin and Paris

The population of Berlin verges on
2,O00,000; that of Paris is about o.
100000. Native Frenchmen drink
very little wine. One small glass OF
claret suffices for a meal. Native Ger
mans will hover over stein of beer
a whole evening, whereas an English
man or American will guzzle twenty
stems. Paris transient population is
enormous, and they think 1t a duty to
drink wine when in the City of Light.
Upper class Germans in Berlin drink
enormous quantities of Rhine wines
and but little beer. Bismarck drank
porter and champagne mixed. Visi-
tors in Berlin think they must drink
beer, but not like the natives.
