RED INK

ARGONAUT LETTERS
by Jerome Hart
San Francisco: Payot, Upham & Company
1901

Pp. 309-354:  OF EATING AND DRINKING

Pg. 328:  Doubtless many a bookmaker, drinking his noisy pint of champagne with all its pomp and circumstance of effervescence, cracked ice, and wine-cooler, looked with ill-concealed disdain on the quiet persons near him drinking "red ink" out of a bottle without any label.
(OED has 1919 for "red ink"--ed.)

Pg. 330:  If you follow up the "ole mammy cook" through the South, you never find her.

Pg. 345:  At the _caffes_ wines, liqueurs, malt liquors, tea, coffee, milk, and chocolate are served, together with simple cold luncheons, such as ham, cold chicken, sandwiches, boiled eggs; this they call the _buffet-freddo_, or cold buffet.  A third class is the _pasticheria_ or _gelatteria_, where pastry and ices (_gelati_) are served, together with tea, coffee, chocolate, and fequently wines, cordial, and liqueurs (the Italians drink almost no ardent liquor).

JINKS=DEVIL

IN OUR SECOND CENTURY
FROM AN EDITOR'S NOTEBOOK
by Jerome A. Hart
San Francisco: The Pioneer Press, Publishers
1931

Pg. 356:  While a member of the Bohemian Club, Humphrey Moore painted a cartoon for "The Devil" Jinks; Doctor Martin Luther, seated as a table reading the Holy Bible, was represented as tempted by two lovely girls in ballet costume, one of whom is bearing wine, while the other points a provacative toe at the worthy doctor's nose.  The Devil himself is seated in the window casement, strumming a lute for the dancing girls.  (...)  This picture I always found one of the most interesting in the Club--partly on account of its intrinsic charm, and partly by reason of the painter's individuality.

(The Bohemian Club ran many "jinks" events, "hi" and "low"--ed.)
