HE LIKES ICE CREAM SODA.
Maurice Denaiffe Enjoying First
Experience With Iced Drinks.
When Maurice Denaiffe came to America from France several weeks ago he had never tasted the ice cream soda, the nut sundae or the seltzer lemonade. Neither had he partaken of the delicious watermelon nor known corn on the cob. He was a guest at the Hotel Baltimore yesterday and declared that now he is "crazy" about them.
"I do not care so much for the sweet corn," said he, "nor am I overzealous in praise of the famous watermelon, but the ice cream soda -- ah! that is where my words fail to find adequate expression for so exquisite a delicacy. It is grand, delicious, supreme; it is the pleasure par excellence."
M. Denaiffe is in America studying the manner and method of growing beans and peas. He is the junior member of the French firm of Denaiffe & Son, which for years has been engaged in raising garden and flower seed.
At Carignan, France, the firm owns a farm of more that 5,000 acres which is devoted exclusively to the culture and production of seed. According to M. Denaiffe, France furnishes the United States with nearly three-fourths of all the garden and flower seed used.
M. Denaiffe says he is favorably impressed with America and the people here.
"Next to France," he asserted, "America has more pretty girls and beautiful women than any European country. They are much superior to the women of England or Germany.
