The name "JOanoike" comes trip
pingly to the tongue. It has caught the
public ear; has beccme firmly entrenched
in the cf the day and "will

that followed the introduction of "Tril

Klondike strike. A prcepercos venture
is a Klondike. "He is rigliS in Klon

"He fires on Easy street."
The Klccdikc neckties, Klondike

The Klondike cocktail has made its
surearance in a dozen first cisfs bars
down tot.n It is made preferably of
gin, with vermouth and orange titters
really on the lines of the Martini, but
the "Klondike suggestion" is given by
a floating piece of lemon or orange peel
cut into a disk and just the size of a

Street fakirs are selling the Klondike
nuzzle. It is a new form of the many
nuzzles, or. xeallv. tests of nerves and
patience by which a little ball is made to
roll into a certain compartment. In the
