they tell me, and
unaccustomed as I
am to public speak-
ing, which reminds me of the
story of the two Irishmen. . . .
Like the orange, I owe my suc-
cess to Prohibition, and like a
great many other people I never
thought of taking a drink before

was pretty young then, but I can
rememb.e r one of my favorite
childhood verses was "Old King

read to me in the old Knicker-
bocker Bar . . . after that we
always used to pick orange blos-
soms at the Astor. . . . In fact
my father said, only the other
day when we met one of his old
cronies, "why I can remember
Junior when he was no higher
than the Waldorf Bar I" .••
But speaking of Prohibition, I
sincerely hope this little volume
will bring cheer to those of you
who try these concoctions and no
headaches, and, though we may
never meet, I say "Shake l"
