coffee pot. Pour over half pint boil
ing water. Do not allow the coffee to
boil After it has run through into
the space below pour of and run
through the top second time. This
should be done four or five times.
Always be sure to have a cover for

carefully scalded before it Is used and
be kept bright and free from grounds.

START FAD IN
DRINKING CUPS
.COmmedienne Emma Carus
Has COIIapsible One.

Emma Carus, the commedienne,
who opens in "Forty-fve Minutes
From Broadway at the Delmar Gar
dens, in st. Louis, on Monday, after
a successful engagement at the Critic
rion Theatre, in Asbury Park, has
started a new fad, which bids fair
to attain great popularity among the
maids and matrons of New Jersey, if
the new law against public drinking
cups, recently put in effect in that
state, is not repealed, or some ar
rangement made whereby individual
drinking cups may be readily OBJ
tanned by the thirsty. The innova-
ton sponsored by Miss Carus is moth
ing more or less than a tiny colltp-
sible cup made of silver, gold or
aluminium, according to the tastes
and purse Of the wearer, enclosed in
a case to match, and worn on a long,
slender chain, instead of the Gus
tomary vanity box now in vogue.
The chain, which may be as or
nate in design as the wearer desires,
is worn around the neck, and Is of a
length sufficient to pass beneath the
belt. The case containing the cup
Is but little larger than a good sized
watch, and makes an attractive or
nament.
On her way to Asbury Park a few
days ago, Miss Carus, who had the
cup made especially for her use when
travelling, found It's services in
great demand among the other pas
sengers, owing to the fact that the
Jersey law has compelled the rail
roads to remove all m drink
ing cups from the water coolers.
There vas plenty of iced water but
nothing out of which to drink 1t.
The day was exceedingly hot and
the inconvenience suffered by the
passengers was great, one lady being
almost overcome, before Miss Carus
placed her novel trinket at their dis
posal When the cup was finally re-
trned to her, many ladies asked her
where she had obtained it, express
ing a desire to duplicate it, and dur
ing her stay at Asbury Park she re-
ceiYed many letters asking similar
information.
81 never dreamed that my little
cup would attain such popularity"
said Miss Carus, when asked about
it, nor that an emergency would
ever arise where it would prove so
useful. All the ladies who have seen
it during my stay at Asbury, are de-
termined to get one. 1t is quite orna-
mental as you see, and might save
their lives some time, should this
ridiculously inadequate law continue
in force.
Personally, while recognizing,
with all intelligent persons, the dan
gers of the common drinking cup, 1t
seems to me that some proper substi-
tute should have been provided before
it was banishcd for good. In some
states, I understand, where q similar
law is in force, the railroads furnish
a folding cup of parafine or some
similar material, to each purchaser
Of a ticket. Why shouldn't New Jer-
sey do the same?"
