COFFEE SERVED IN ORANGES

Idea Is From New Orleans, Where They. Claim to Make the Best Beverage ill America. A young hostess recently pleased her dinner guests with a new way of serving after-dinner coffee, which she said was learned at a famous New Orleans case. The entire rind of an orange is used as a cup. It is cut with a sharp knife, and the lower half is turned back to form a standard for the upper half, which is the cup. The orange remains between the two and unites them. The cups are filled with boiling hot black coffee and sweetened by a lamp of BUgar dipped in cognac. A match applied to each cup before serving ignites the brandy and the flame so produced is aided by the oil of the orange rind, so that a charming effect is produced by a tray of these brightly burning cups. Each orange is placed on a Bmall plate or saucer.
