For the past two years there has
bee ma silent revolution in progress
at the different fashionable clubs in
this city. 1t is one which will delight
the hearts of the total abstainers.
Gradually less and less alcoholic bev-
erages are being consumed; the calls
for different wines to serve at dinner
are so far and few between that sew

lars have been quietly disposing of
their stock.
The cocktail is one of the drinks
which is going by the board, and one
seldom sees a man partake of a
straight whisky, and it is yet more
rare to find him indulging in brandy,
except now and then a liqueur glass
of cognac after dinner. Those who
are of that leisure class that are able
to remain up. town and to get their
news from Wall street by way of the
ticker, lunching at their clubs, rarely
indulge in any strong drink with their
MONDAY repast. At best they may
have a little whisky, which they

Many E~nglishmen in winter have
called for tea and toast and some
times for toasted mullins. Iced tea
is taken and soft drinks are used by
the Americans who have not gone

with much water. At luncheon dur
ing the dog days there has been a
wide consumption of buttermilk and
iced coffee.
But the popular British Temperance
drink, and the one in greatest favor
in the best London clubs, is just be-
ginning to be adopted here. 1t is
barley water. This was introduced
by the military contingent, especially
those who had been in the Soudan,

and very wholesome.
There are numerous recipes for it

In fact, there have been as many dis
cussions as to the best way to pre-
pare it as there are directions for
making a Welsh rabbit.
For many years 1t was included in
the menu for invalids and was pre-
scribed for those who had equity and
rheumatic tendencies. This is why,
perhaps, it has been revived by the
descendants of siX-bottle men and the
goo dhard drinkers of the days OF
the regency, and the reign of Will
lam Nv. and the early Victorian era.
The orthodox recipe is to take two
ounces of pearl barley and boil for 20
minutes In some water to extract the
coloring. That water must be thrown
away and the barley put into a jug.
Then some boiling water must be
poured over it and 1t should stand
for a short time. Peel a lemon very
thin, pou some boiling water v it,
with a little sugar and mix it with
the barley water, adding the lemon

three of the Fifth emu clubs, and
at each it has been concocted by en-

for it there. With its almost univer-
sal adoption in London, there is no
doubt but that by next winter it will
be obtained at many of the hotels
and cafes in town where for the last
few years buttermilk has been sold
over the bars in large quantities.
