FASHION IN DRINKS
Change Noted in New York Where
Million Dollars Per Day Is
Spent.

New York. Feb, O.--Fashions
change in drinks as in everything
else and nowhere are these changes
more evident than III New York as Is
natural in view of the fact that the
citys drink bill amounts to nearly n
million dollars a day. A few years
ago the various mixed drinks in
which gin figures had great run aud
there was q famine in lines, caused
by the consumption of gin rickeys.
This fashion was succeeded by great
demand for Scotch whisky, coincident
with the srpead of the highball habit.
Now the barkeepers in the big hotels
and other places of liquid refreshments
along the Great White Way reports
that the highball is passing into de-
cline and attribute 1t to the man who
drinks for taste rather than for in
tcxication. Rum highbalIs now have
the call according to these same au
thorities who have the best of oppor-
tunities for observing the changes of
fashion in drinks. IN fact rum. the
drink of our grandfathers and more
remote ancestors, seems to be renew
ing Its popularity for all sorts of
mixed drinks, The reason given Is
that this is about the only form of
spirits that has not been attacked on
