Question 1.  Does anyone have a reasoned opinion on whether a "milk shake"
as cited in the 1880's  resembles the 20th century milkshake?

Question 2.  At the end of Barry's second cite, the final line is "...Within
the Kaffe Klatch."  I assume that isn't an antedating of the phrase?  Else,
Barry would have mentioned it?
