JUDGES OF COCKTAILS.
A SEVERE ORDEAL. London, December 3. “Sober as a Judge” is no longer a true phrase when Judges make the acquaintance of cocktails with such awesome names as “Knock-me-down,” “Six-cylinder,” “Lyddite Lucy,” “Satan’s Sting.” These are only a few of dozens of new concoctions which were served up at a fashionable Paris Hotel, where 400 guests had to judge a cocktail competition organised by two Parisian newspapers. It was no light ordeal, and it was not surprising as the afternoon wore on that some of the judges became hilarious) and others green and pallid, while women discreetly vanished. When the last mysterious mixture, “Kill-me,” was quaffed all sense of discrimination had gone. Nobody was able to give a coherent opinion, so decision was postponed.
