A bit of ice is often desired in the
night. A good way to keep it is to cut
piece of white flannel about 10 inches
square. Place this over the top of
tumbler, pressing the flannel down half
way or more into it. Then bind the
flannel fast to the top of the glass with
string. Put the ice into the flannel
cup and lay another piece of flannel or
6 inches square upon the ice. Arranged
thus Ice will keep many hours.
