Of the violation of his principles was
when he came to the table with his
guests. As 10 was too late to have the
liquor removed he contented himself
with leaving the glass at his own plate
untouched
Meanwhile his humorst friends, who
had previously seized upon Fairbanks
occasional use Of buttermilk as a
source Of funmaking, seized upon the
cocktail incident for more merriment
at his expense. They dubbed him
