Ice Cream Soda Got
Bad Start in Paris,
but It's Rage NOIU

PARIS, Sept. 14.--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 American alcoholic drinks,
ranging from vermouth chassis to the
kick producing martini and Jack Rose
cocktails
1t is a bit too early to make any pre-
dictions, but 1t seems likely that the
number Of soda fends will have at least
tripled before another year rolls around.
For the first time in history Paris is
really taking to the tall glass of izz and
syrup, and seven soda emproriums now
sport themselves on 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.
daring Frenchman opened a big
soda parlor in a brand new building on
SASN%-0
from the Opera, with a marble fountain,
regular soda jerkers and all the para
phernalia that goes with regular Amer
lean place.
The first Sunday a few brave souls
seated themselves at the sidewalk tables,
dragging sodas through straws and
drawing laughs from thousands Of pass
ersby.
For the average boulevard promenader
looked upon ice cream soda with the
same amused air we used to turn on the
slit skirt.
Now that same place is crowded every
Sunday afternoon. Inside and outside
on the sidewalks, and other soda foun-
tains 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.
The vast majority Of the patrons, II
must be confessed, are women. 1t is
quite an ordinary thing to see family
seated around one of the tables with
mother and the girls drinking sodas
brother having a beer and father pol
ishing off a glass of whisky or cognac.
The prices are bit steep--the equiv
alent of 90 cents for good soda moi
counting the tip.
