DRINKS.
consequently,
to
be
presented
separately,
if
it
is
desired
on
your
guest's
part.
Very
different
it
is
when
you
have
a drink
in
which
the
ice
is
to
remain;
in
this
case
use
plenty
of
fruits,
as
it
is
pleasing
to
the
eye
and
allows
your
guest
to
eat
it
if
he
likes.
Reasons
Why
Men
Drink.
MEN
drink
to
quench
thirst,
on
account
of
a
drink's
effect,
to
get
an
appetite,
to
promote
digestion,
to
en-
joy
its
taste,
for
curiosity,
from
habit,
because
of
dis-
couragement,
on
account
of
ambition,
to
forget
poverty,
to
show
their
riches,
because
of
sickness,
because
they
do
not
feel
well,
for
the
purpose
of
learning,
to
dispel
sorrow.
This
one
wants
to
warm
himself;
that
one
is
overheated
and
wants
to
get
cool;
one
has
lost
in
Wall
Street;
another's
shares
have
gone
up;
one
man's
best
girl
went
back on
him;
another
is
going
to
marry
the
best
girl
in
town;
one
drinks
behind
the
door,
another
in
a
public
place.
Some
men
will
drink
out
of
pure
style;
they
want
to
show
their
diamonds
and
jewelry,
their
costly
clothes,
and
mainly
their
money.
But
most
men
will
drink
because
it
is
"
business."
I
remember
a
cir-
cumstance
that
occurred
between
a
diamond
broker
of
Maiden
Lane
and
myself.
One
fine
morning
a
custo-
mer
entered
his
store
to
buy
goods,
but
the
broker
did
not
succeed
in
selling,
when
all
at
once
the
idea
struck
him,
"
A
nice
drink
might
bring
him
to
terms."
He
in-
vited
his
customer
and
up
they
came
to
the
bar.
