A CLOVER LEAF. In genuine old fashioned American hot weather nothing seems to tickle the palate like a good American drink, and the kind selected generally indicates the characteristics of the person drinking. In winter a man will take almost any- thing that happens to be the fad for the moment, whether highl}- flavored or not, but in summer the demand is for something that will quench the thirst, whether beer, lemon- ade or gin rickey or some other beverage. The Clover Leaf is said to be popular in the city of brotherly love. Certainly it is decorative, for it has a soft orchid color, with a rim of white. Drink is made of: i sprig of mint.
