That is, Saloons Where Soft Drinks Now Reign Are Civ

 Tnyestiostors,

GLOBE. Feb. With the reckless
 abandon of printers, cowpunchers or railroaders, eighteen ladies reputed to
 be a delegation from the Civic League
 invaded the soft-drink emporiums a.
 iong Broad street Saturday; that is to
 say those places that were formerly saloons. However, there were no Car rie Nation proclivities in evidence: in- stead the tour was evidently a result
 of the paramount evil of the gentler sex, curiosity
 First the ladies waited on the sher- if to secure his consent to the "slum-
 ming" expedition and to obtain his in valuable services as guide. Fortunate ly for him, the official was in Miami
 and thus thwarted an enterprising newspaper person who had secured a photographer and made other 'elabor- ate preparations for feature" story
 Undeterred, the feminine phalanx executed a masterly offensive move ment upon the Wellington, capturing the former stronghold of the Demon Rum, horse, foot and dragons without suffering a single casualty or deser- ton. The consternation that prevailed in the popular headquarters for the cattlemen was laughable. Some of the habitues were frozen to their seats with astonishment while the married element hastily retreated en masse through the rear doors.
 Fixing the amiable Chuck" Rogers with a piercing glance, the leader of the invaders, inquired if ladies were permitted to slake their thirst there, what was on tap and how per tap Blandly, the bartender" replied that the fair sex was always welcome, named the different brands of liquid excitement and stated the considera- tion, ending up by recommending a special brand of beer" Instantly a mortified chorus of eighteen voices protested, "Oh. my gracious, mol"
 Cider also was taboo among the wis itors. who wooed the grape through the harmless medium of Deleware Punch or explored the acid wilderness of lemonade. Reinforcements of odd assortments of children were taught the iniquity of these dives" through liberal objecS lessons in the shape of chocolate bars and other confections. When the party was "all set" the he roic eighteen lined up to the bar and downed their poison" manfully while the younger generation enthusiastieal- ly delyed into the mysteries of their mothers treats. with the result that hitherto immaculate youngsters pre- sented countenances over which streaks of chocolate, traces of peanuts and happiness sublime, blended har- moniously adding wonderfully to the general color scheme. 1
 After the last of thearefreshments had disappeared, the women dug down in their pocket-er-books paid the reckoning and inspected the mural decorations. One younger and more member of the party suggest ed, we go back and shoot a little pool but was promptly squelched by the cold, questioning stare of the staid chaperon.
 The Smoke House was the next place on the calling list However, the obnoxious presence of a large quantity of the vulgar male in this re- sort caused the ladies to continue on their quest of the elusive soft drink elsewhere. The same procedure was adopted at the Coney Island as the advance guard was signaling for an attack on the St. Elmo.
 By this time the novelty had rather | worn off and the ladies languidly en-
