THE PRICE OF ICE MAY
ADVANCE THIS SUMMER
Small Amount of Natural Ice
Ha nv ested and Cost of
Coal Responsible

1t is probable that Wilmington house
holders viii have ITO pay more for ice
this summer than they did last. Not only
the householders. but the butcher the
grocer and in fact an consumers will be
obliged TO pay an advanced price, but just
how much viii be determined later.
The amount of natural ice harvested last
winter Is much less than generally and the
supply will be made up to a large extent
from the manufactured product. This, on
account OF the higher Price of coal, WIN
cost much more in the making. The added
cost of horse food and labor also will have
something TO de with the price going up.
OF course the prices on the smaller sizes
Will not be greatly felt. but the wholesaler
will find as the season advances that the
money he has to expend for the cooling
blocks Will be quite an item in excess OF
last year.
At present the price is the same and the
local companies are taxed to their utmost
capacity to fiji the orders. One firm this
morning announced that 1t was selling as
much ice now as at any time during last
summer and expect its business TO increase
as the season advances.

Some Cake Lore

Miss Lily Haxworth, a graduate Of
the National Training School Of Cook
cry in London, has been giving lessons
to Buffalo housewives on cooking. Here
are few of her cake making maxims:
To get a fine grained cake. beat thor
oughly after the flour is added. Sweet
milk makes cake that cuts like pound
cake. Sour milk makes spongy, light
cake Always sift -four before meas
uring, then il may be sifted again with
the baking powder to insure their be-
ing thoroughly blended. In making
fruit cakes add the fruit before putting
in the -four, as this will prevent it fall
ing TO the bottom of the cake. Flour
ing the fruit is unnecessary. unless the
fruit is damp.
If a cake cracks open while baking,
the recipe contains too much flour. In
creaming butter and sugar, when the
butter is too hard to blend easily, warm
the bowl and II necessary warm the
butter, as this viii change both texture

There has been all kinds Of "Coon
Shows" on the road the last few years.

Smart Set" easily takes the cake in the
theatrical cake walk, and comes to the
Lyceum for return dates May p, %, %, to-
demonstrate that fact and to gather up
the lacial trophy for much achievement.
The piece is . well-constructed, three-act

Hair Bows Again

The pretty hair bows that are being
shown in the shops will come more
than ever into vogue as the warm sea-
son causes femininity to go hatless
when and where it can. One Of the
daintiest styles of hair onaments is the
spangled maline rosette. Those made
of pale colors are busted with the tiny
silver discs, and some OF the pure white
rosettes are prettily ornamented with
pearls. All are light and airy, and add
much to any couture. Ribbon flowers
hold a high place in favor for the hair.
Dainty punches Of violets, mysterious
ly formed with narrow violet satin rib
bon, are among this seasons products
that have been very much liked. A
single mink rose made Of satin ribbon
can be placed in the coils Of hair with
very pretty effect. Alsatian bows that
have been struggling into favor all win
ter, bid fair to be worn much more dur
ing the summer season.

Fans for Summer

From present indications the small
empire fan is TO be the favorite for
summer use with the shimmering
frocks Of organdy, lawn and mousseline
that win be seen at the hops, garden

of fan are the long sticks and narrow
band OF silk or gauze that they hold
a tiny landscape I'm clear cOlOrs is a
very frequent ornament on the centre
Of the band. Spangles and appliques OF
