Feeling Their Way. "Of coursoijou wouldn't sell your vote for anything." "I certainly wouldn't." "But if you wero to sell 'it how much would you take?" "If I wero to sell It how much would you give?" Only Way Ho Knew. "Where did you get that umbrella?' "Bought It" ' "Bought It?" "Yes. Do I look liko a captain of In dustry?" Delicate inquiry. "My dear, I understand we are dolns light housekeeping." "Yes; that is whnt they call It." "Don't you think wo ought to have everything elso to match with the gen eral scheme of that manner of llTlng?" "But It does.

CHERRY BANISHED FROM COCKTAIL Edict Sent Forth By Men Who Mix Drinks in New York. , NEW YORK, Dec. 17. Through somo mysterious mental line of communication that passes between intellectual bartenders, tho doom of the cherry in the cocktail has been sounded. Likewise Is sounded the doom of the ollyo In tho cocktail. None but "hick" wine clerks drop cherries or olives Into cocktails now, unless, some rubo asks for thorn, Tho practice of putting a slice of lemon In a Scotch highball was dis continued somo time ago. Expert drink mixers -no longer squeeze a piece of lemon peal over tho top of a cocktail. Thus step by step the drinking classes are making for sim plicity. The decllno of the cherry and ollvo In cocktails has probably been brought about by tho growing pop ularity of tho Bronx cocktail. As this Is trapped with a slice of orajge thcro is no necessity for additional fruit. Anyhow, you could not seo a cher ry In a Bronx cocktail unless it was a large cherry.
