Show New Fruits. "New and strange fruits from equatorial equa-torial Africa and the Amazon valley figured In a sumptuous dinner that was given to Lady Arthur Paget in New York," said a fruiterer. "Many of these fruits I saw and tasted. "There was the star apple. It Is like our apple, only in its center is a thick, white oream, that tastes like whipped cream beaten up with stewed pear juice. "The iamrosaj looked like a peach, it smelt like a rose, and it tasted like a very sweet and luscious apricot Iamrosaj is my alias. "The mamo-mosho is the finest equatorial fruit. It Is actually like a lemon, but its taste is a kind of commingling com-mingling of grape fruit, powdered sugar and iced champagne. "Then there were the mannah, the no-chee and the mangosteen, all too delightful for words, and all worth, on account of the cost of shipment, from 20 cents to $4 a bite." |
