SingerDrops Pounds,
But Hangs On To
$1,000; Is Sued

NEW YORK, Oct. 26. - Being,
called the "baby star of the Metro
politan" implied certain obliga-
tions to her public, Nanette Gull
ford, soprano, felt, including a
maximum weight of 14O.
And so one day in May, 1882,
DR.. Joseph Safian says, the baby
star walked into his office weigh
ing 158, and danced out tipping
the scales at 140, having left in
his operating room not only 18
pounds of flesh, but also a 90-day
promissory note for $1,000.
Now, says the medico, he finds
himself unable to collect from
Nanette. Through his attorney,
Samuel FeinStein, he has brought
suit in Municipal Court against
the baby star, and gained permiS-
sion to serve the papers on her by
tacking them on her door at the
Hotel Croydon.
The conclusion of the physician
is, that he reduced Nanette so well
that she's too slim to be found to
accept service.
The singer was inclined to be
peeved and cryptic about DR..
Safian'S action. She said:
II don't owe DIR. Safian $1,000
don't owe him a cent. I'm
daily going to a reducing studio
now. to have done exactly what
he claims to have accomplished
for me. When this case comes
up in court, you'll see I'm right"

Attorney Henry A. Uterhart, of
New York, counsel for Mrs.

"The entire Sierra gold re-

Divided on Way
to Brew Coffee
Cooks Not in Accord as to
Proper Formula.


In the old days when coffee was
expensive and hard to get, cooks
kept their methods of brewing 1t 8
deep dark secret. Coffee brewers
fell into two schools: The boiling
point advocates, and the below boil
Ing point advocates. The Boiling
point group was composed of those
who drank coffee for the stimulation
1t imparts. This method includes
the old-fashloned boiling formulas
where the water is kept bubbling q
few seconds Or minutes after the .ad-
dition of the coffee, after which il
Is set on the back of the stove to
steep for fifteen minutes or so. This
procedure gives a stronger flavor and
extracts a larger amount of caffein-
The below boiling point advocates
were composed of those who drank
coffee chiefly for its aroma and fla.
vor. Taste and smell are more close
ly connected than the average per.
son suspects. You easily can prove
1t for yourself by holding your nose
when you eat or drink. The only fla
vors you can taste without the help
of your nose are sour. sweet, bitter
and SALT Every other flavor Is not
tasted, but smelled. Try holding your
nos when you drink a cup Of cof-
fee, and you will be surprised to find
that you can taste nothing. unless,
of course, you use sugar. Then YOU
car taste the sweet. but not the cof-
fee flavor. Now release your nose
and G how quickly you recognize
the taste OF coffee.
The below boiling point method
gives a liquid with more of the nat
ural aroma and flavor of the roasted
coffee bean. These cooks bring the
water to a full boil, but take 1t off
the fire a moment or two to stop its
bubbling before the coffee is added.
The beverage is then kept hot until
1t has acquired the right flavor. but
1t Is not allowed to come to the boil.
Coffee made by either method had to
be cleared with a dash Of cold water
or the addition OF egg shells.
Today the best coffee cooks have
turned their backs ON old-fashioned
methods because of the difficulty of
extracting just the proper amount Of
flavor from the elusive bean. Again
they divide into schools: The perco-
lator advocates and the drip coffee
advocates. The former make their
coffee by a device that passes the
water up a central tube to descend
through the coffee, the main body of
which never ONE to q boil. The
drip coffee lovers use the French
