The vases used by the japanese in

plants and flowers. The vase must be
subordinate to the flowers and always
remain in the background.
The central idea in each flower ar

growing plants. The thought of life
must be suggested by each wavering,
glowing, inspiring blossom. Study the
outline and studiously avoid all stiff
pyramid bouquet effects. Never place
several kinds of flowers together. Only
red and white blooms may be put in
the same vase. With the Japanese
the sex in flowers is marked in color,
red meaning male and white female.

Ice Cream with Variations.

ice cream on a hot day, and once the
habit of preparing it is established it
Is the easiest of desserts to make, and
the varieties obtainable are endless.
The plain cream is liked by most peo-
pie better than the cooked custard. To
make it use three pints of cream to one
pint of milk, and one and three-quar-
ters cups of sugar. Scald the milk, melt
the sugar in it, and when it is cool add
the mixture to the cream. If vanilla is
the flavor required, add a tablespoonful

to that obtained in the old fashioned
way. Sugar was added to the berries,
pound for pound or nearly so, and al

OF course, like other things that de-
pend upon sunshine, there is an ele-
ment of uncertainty in this treatment
of the strawberry. Sudden showers,
or even clouds, interfere with The
work, and in this case the berries have
to be transferred to the stove and fin
ished according to the old fashioned
method. Moreover, insects, especially
bees, are likely to be attracted by the
sweet stuff, but a piece of glass over
the dish prevents their getting at it
and does not interfere with the eff
cacy of the sun. Greedy small boys
are less easy to guard against, but ma
ternal restraint must be depended upon
in their case.

Woman Suffrage Unconstitutional.

A dispatch to the Chicago Times
Herald from Ottumwa, Ia, says that
the cause of woman suffrage has suf-
fered reverse by decision handed
down by Judge Frank w. Eichelberger
in an injunction case recently brought
by citizens of Ottumwa against the
city council and city officers of that
city. Some time ago Andrew Carnegie
offered the city $4,000 for public
library on the condition that the city
guarantee $1,000 annually for its sup
port. According to the statute, women
were permitted to vote on the PROPOSE
tion to accept or reject the offer. By
the womens vote it carried. Oppo-
nents of the measure began injunction
proceedings, and Judge Eichelberger
has announced his decision, as above
stated, on the ground that the consti-
tuition does not recognize as voters any
except male adult citizens. The deci-
sion is an important one, and as it is
the first case of the kind in the state it
may be carried to the supreme court.
