The other day the pence conference
undertook to rebuke the newspaper.
It iHBUcd an official note HayinKt "The
press has published certain information
on the peace negotiations, especially
the financial negotiations, which docs
not aurco with the facts, but is entire
ly erroneous."
The note was acknowledged by the
Faris Temps with this pointed ro
mark: "The above contradiction con
stitutes the sole official information
BUppticd to the French presa with re
gard to the important deliberations of
tho heads erf. the allied tfovcrnmepts."
It was a dijrnified and deserved re

Not the least interostinsr thing
about sueh temperance emporiums' in
the appearance of numberless -jocular
and reminiscent terms for innocuous
drinks. Tho familiar cream pnr
lor'' terminology is outdone. Among
those already risen to some repute arr
"Prohibition CorktailH," Water Wag
Fizz," "Arid Ale," ''Dry Marti
nette,"? "Old Oaken Bucket," "Oram? -Fizzade"
and "Airplane Dip."
Incidentally, there haB appeared an
appropriate ornament for the new
type of bar room. It appears in what
one of the bitf hotels calls its "bone
Iry room' and is nothing more nor
less than a fountain in tho middle of
the room containing a fine, big fern
tho "prohibition plant,"' whjcb
thrives on water.
Here, then, nre the lntest tips on
saloon styles. They may bo improved

them.
