What next! The Royal Smile is the name. of a new cocktail. It is concocted thusly: First you take a half-glass of gin liqueur, then comes a half-pony glass of Madoc liqueur, upon which is poured a half-glass of Crome Tratte; again comes a full glass of Cremo da Vanillo and then a half-glass of brandy. A spoonful of cream is stirred into these cordials and then it is brought to your table and a match sets the whole aflame, After the fame dies out the cocktail is poured into a champagne glass and you drink it and amite and smile till there is the Royal Emils. It sounds better than Dan Clifford's motor cocktail: A glass of petrol with
