NAPKINS NOT JUST SUITABLE
But Man Meant Well, and Fortunately
the Teachers Had a Sense
of Humor.

The parents Of the pupils of large
Indiana ward school decided to give
the teachers a surprise dinner party.
Accordingly they, took charge of the
building one evening, herded the
teachers in one room and made ready
the table for the dinner But Just
as everybody was about ready they
found that they had forgotten nap
kins. One of the hostesses accord
ingly telephoned her husband who
worked in department store. "The
colors are pink and white so bring
something appropriate" she told him.
He bought them-pink and white.
But when they were opened they dis
played storks holding in their mouths
the time-honored new babies. The
hostesses were horror stricken but
the teachers, ready to grasp the awk-
wardness of the situation, led in laugh
ter. But that man says that he will

Didn't Look Like Police.

Sport is making great strides In
France, but the police occasionally
make strange mistakes when they see
long line of runners sprinting along
the roads and across country.
Not long ago at Vincennes number
OF young athletes from the military
school Of sport were indulging in a
paper chase through the woods when
they were arrested by gendarmes for
being improperly dressed. They were
all in white vests and running shorts.
The gendarmes, however, had appar.

A few days later, however, when the

ICE CREAM SODA

PARIS.-After making some
what disappointing start the ice
cream soda is slowly gaining ground
in Paris in competition with the
whole category of French and Ameri-
can alcoholic drinks, ranging from
vermouth chassis to the kick-produc.
ing martini and Jack Rose cocktails.
1t is bit too early to make any
predictions, but it seems likely that
the number of soda fiends will have
at least tripled before another year
rolls round. For the first time in
history Paris is really taking to the
tall glass of fizz and syrup and seven
soda eporiums now sport themselves
upon the boulevards.
The first soda fountain to open in
Paree hid itself modestly in the
shade of the famous old Madeleine
church. It's patrons were chiefly
Americans and a few Englishmen
who had acquired the habit in one of
the drug stores on the Strand.
A daring Frenchman opened a big
soda parlor in brand new building
on the Boulevard DIES Italiens, three
blocks from the Opera, with a marble
fountain, regular soda jerkers and
all the paraphernalia that goes with
regular American place. The first
Sunday a few brave souls seated
themselves at the sidewalk tables,
dragging sodas thru straws and
drawing laughs from the thousands
of passersby. For the average boule-

cream soda with the same amused
air we used, to turn upon the slit
skirt.
Now that same place is crowded
every Sunday afternoon, inside and
outside upon the sidewalks, and
other soda fountains have sprung up.
One is even located in the heart of
the "badlands" district, where
painted ladies may be seen eating
strawberry sundaes by the hour.
e The vast majority of the patrons.
it must be confessed, are women.
1t is quite an ordinary thing to see
a family seated around one Of the
tables with mother and the girls
drinking sodas, brother having
beer and father polishing off a glass
of whiskey Of cognac.
The prices are a bit steep-the
equivalent of fifty cents for a good
soda, not counting the tip.
