> S^^^A HEN the first edition of !5Jcveragcs ~2)e~Cuxe was Km m published, the editors expressed the hope that ^^^^^^ the book would serve as a guide to connoisseurs and those who serve them. That this hope was realized is attested by the demand from those who enjoy the good things of life all over the United States and those who have to do with the preparing and serving of these good things, necessitating and culminating in the preparation and publication of this edition. Since the publication of the former edition there has been no diminishing of the agitation against the traffic that legiti- mately supplies the demand for beverages, but the increased use of such beverages, which use is still growing, along with the greatest abhorrence of over-indulgence, demonstrates that more and more of our people are using beverages moderately and properly as they are intended to be used, and, therefore, that a book of this kind fills its own peculiar niche and has interest for the thousands and thousands of good citizens who visit clubs, hotels and such places where the monotony of life is broken. Much that was good in the former edition of !!^cvcragcs ~S>^~i.\x\^ is retained in this edition, but there is sufficient new matter added of the same high class to make this edition practically a new work. The editors will feel amply repaid for their efforts if this edition meets with the same favor ac- corded the first edition of leverages ~3!)c~Cuxc.
