MISS CAllfSTa O'NEAA

Something new in the way of fur
coat for young woman arrived in
New York recently, entirely surround
ting Miss Callsta ONeill. of st. Louis,
a passenger on board the Kaiser VIII
helm der Crosse, of the North German
line.
Quite irrespective of the fact that
the day was sultry, the coat attracted
attention due anything so unusual as
that particular coat.
Miss O'Neill described herself as an
art student and the garment as the ex.
preston in fur of the most impressions
ist1c conception in art She said she
had been compelled to design 1t her
self, having been unable to find a fur
rier equal to the task of making out of
the whole fur (or of the composite fur.
the coat being made of many speci-
mems of the mole) anything which was
lot exactly like every other coat from
the dawn of history down to the pres
mt day
Il fashioned it," said she. ''in imita-
ion of cloud floating, and therefore
he least part of it is nearest the
ground. More than a score of women
nave asked me this morning how | get
In or out of 1t. l replied that cannot
tell except while am putting it ON or
taking it off,"
And as Miss O'Neill wore it ashore
and was last seen still wearing it into

something more substantial than the
ordinary o'clock refreshments is de-
sifGble Hence cook will send up some
thing dainty in smoked salmon, chick
en- mousses and sandwiches, which Will
meet all requirements in a satisfactory
n amer. Meantime the breadwinner will
find what he requires in the city and
after the entertainment there can be
a CHEEKY supper. The restaurant is in
itself proof that no inconsiderable pro
portion of their patrons have not had
a late dinner, as the people who want
a supper after this heavy meal are
certainly few and far between.
one of the reasons alleged against
any addition to the usual bread and
butter mullins and cakes of the aft
ernoon repast, is that heavier fare, in
conjunction with tea is indigestible
But the majority take tea at break
fast, when fish, both salt and fresh.
ham, bacon and sausages, kidneys and
cl ops, may, together or severally, be
provided and the average person in
good health suffers no i'll effects from
doing so. On this point, however, a
medical authority points out that,
While the general public have a han
kering after something a little more
substantial than ordinary afternoon tea
fares. there is no reason that they
should not enjoy it, always provided
thet the tea be freshly infused and not
over drawn, and that, indeed. there is
much to be urged in its favor.
The city clerk and the girl typist
may certainly be recokened as adher
cnts to the principle of high tea" A
glance a the attractions offered by the
tea shops and at what is ordered by
tscir patrons is quite convincing on
this point. Potted meats, German saus-
ages. patties, cold fish rissoles
poached eggs, and various trifles that
a former generation would have called
"relishes" are all ordered with the cup
CT tea or coffee and the meal undoubt-
eoly fills a real want in the domestic
economy of those who live in lodgings
and want their evenings for recreation
for classes, or for any of the interests
now open to young men and women. A
satisfying meal Is secured at min
imum of cost in this manner, while the
temptation to alcoholic drink is, of
course, entirely absent at such places
