4choios Bouquet"

An interesting story of Horace
Greeley, the famous journalist, has
been revived for new generation.
He was presiding at dinner given
by the press in 1868 in honor Of
Charles Dickens, and, while Dick
ems partook freely of the wines,
Greeley did not turn his glasses
down, but thrust them out of his
way with single exception, and in
that he placed beautiful red rose
that had been furnished for his
boutonniere. During the dinner he
lifted his glass to his nose as often
as others raised glasses to their
mouths, and the fragrance Of the
rose was all the stimulant he
needed.
