DON'T LIKE ARTIFICIAL ICE.
Some Housewives Declare 1t Is Of
Little Account for Refriger-
ating Purposes.

A new grievance has arisen to annoy
the housewife. A few years ago. when
I artificial ice came into vogue. she re-
garded it as an unmiNed blessing that
would greatly lessen her tribuations.
To-day she complains that it lacks the
one essential property of ice-cooling.
, says the Chicago Chronicle. 1t does
not cool things. she says. Even though
the ice box be kept full to the lid with
solid cakes the cream sours and TIE
strawberries shrivel. the bottled beer
remH;rs tepid. the butter meIts anG
the salad willis. uSt as they would were
there no ice in the refrigerator. At
first this puzzled the housewife She
thought Maria was at fault. But Maria
, called the saints to witness that she
had placed the beer bottles all around
the cake of ice, the butter and berries
on top and the cream and lettuce close
by. The housewife was still doubtful
She spoke of it to a neighbor. Its the
ice" said the neigh Dor. Il had the
some trouble. There is a big-worded
scientific explanation of it, which !
can't give you. But it's something to
know that artificial ice won't keep
things cool. as the Jack Frost kind
does. It's bad enough when one has
nice. cool cellar in which TO keep
ones refrigerator. but when it is one
of the hardwood set-in apart ment kind
in a passa@eway between the kitchen
and the dining-rOCm and one expects
company TO dinner and the blanc
mango won't jell-"
Just my experience. We had straw
berry custard for dessert-at least we
were to have had one. 1t turned out
something between an eggnog and a
very fluffy Omelet SOutfie. We drank it .
Of course | blamed poor Maria. ScolG.d
her for not ma king the custard in time
and for putting too much milk in il.
She said that it had been made in time
and that she had put it on ice at noon.
which seemed incredible. but | believe
her now. Things do get cool. but they
are no colder after a so iOuln of -
hours in the ice chest than they are
after being there one hour Maria ;
