The ice cream cone is supposed to have originated at the St. Louis Expo sit ion, in 1904. The ice cream soda is supposed to have been introdhuced by Robert Ml. Greenr and Sons, manufacturers of soda fountains in Philadelphia, who added ice cream to plain soda wvater. The first dlemonstration of the new b)everage was made at the Semi-Cen tennial at Franklin Institute, Philadel phia, in the summer of 1874.

There wasI always a wvaiting line to use the phones. "Yes," saidI "Mia" D)ugan, wvith a far away twinkle in her eyes, "when we opened up, we just could not keel) upl with the calls. A telephone system wvas something newv and novel. Miost of the stuidents had never seen one work and it was a mystery to them how wve knew which bole to phlg into. They would come by the windowv and slyly flirt, not knowing that I had been mar ried for sonme time. You see, I just weighed about a hundred and ten and wvas in my early twenties. I had b)obbed hair and some of them took me for about 18. Some even begged for (hates until they found out that I had "Red" Dugan and "Sonny" at home. They've always been a sweet bunch- I love everyone of them."
