1ZZE HONE ITS PROBLEMS AA1D INTERESTS
DELICATE PERFUMES

When Mrs. Cleveland was the first
lady IN the land II was said her taste
for delicate perfumes was such that she
had little fat scachet bags made and
put under the rugs in her apartments.
With many this love for the Odors Of
Araby the Blest IS a passion. as with
the Czarina of Russia. who has her
partmeDts in every one Of her palaces
perfumed with violets. and she carries
this fad so far that the very railway
carriage in which she travels must be
likewise perfumed.
Nowadays strong perfumes are dislik-
ed by refined people, the intangible odor
OF sachet powder, which is obtained by
natural means from flowers. being pre-
ferred to the stronger essences which
are so largely mixed with alcohol.
To those who admire a fresh odOr
which Is not oppressive. the following
suggestion may prove of use:
Use an ornamental dish into which
place some very hot water Into the
water put a few drops of oil of lavender.
This will produce a delicate door
which will freshen the atmosphere. and
Is particularly useful In dining rooms
or small apartments that may become
Stuffy.

Care of Re Ice Boz.

Few. people realize the Importance Of
keeping their ice chests in good con-
dition
No matter how substantial or expen-
sive they may be. unless they are Wen
looked after there will be trouble ahead
for the housekeeper.
The first consideration should be
where to set the ice box. Don't stand
II near a sink or drain. A cool, dry
place IL possible should be found, where
the air from door or window can blow
on it.
Next thing, keep 1t clean. for IL you
are not particular in this respect there
is no telling what the results may be.
An unclean icebox poisons any food
that is placed in It; therefore the neglect
in this respect is in excusable-
Take a soft cloth and wash the inside
of the box thoroughly. taking out the
shelves and standing them where they
can air. Use hot water, of course, and
some securing soap.
Many houses nowadays have up-to-
date zee boxes built in the walls. and
these need particular attention. because
during the cleaning process they cannot
be so thoroughly aired.
Be careful what combinations you put
IN your ice chest, or you will find the
butter spoiled and your milk sour.

Too Much Christmas Dinner.

A funny little incident took place
at the Meeker hotel during the past
week, the particulars of which have
Just leaked out. 1t seems that a gen.
tleman from this community, accom-
panied by his wife, stopped at the
local hostelry and sometime in the
night was.taken with u terrible case
Of cramp collie. His wife was fright
ened nearly to death but knowing
that something must be quickly done
she slipped on her wrapper and went
down to the dining room where she
emptIed ti,e.conteiits Of the mustard
cruet into her handkerchief and then
hurried back again upstairs. She
dived into her room (as she thought
and seeing man lying on the bed,
she gently turned down the covers
and more gently tucked up his lin
gerie and slipped on the plaster. No
sooner had it come In contact with
his epidermis than the man arose and
yelled out, "What in h-Hoboken are
you doing, wOman?' The lady
gave a glance at his FACET was not
her husband; ascream like the siren
of an ocean liner split the midnightair
from the flattops to Rangely; there
WAS a sound Of pattering feet and
switching drapperies; a door slammed
and quiet again reigned. When the
lady got to her room she told her hus-
band of the mistake she had made
and 1t tickled him so that the cramp
collie took a change of venue and left
him.
Now don't all rush In and ask us
who the parties to this interesting
little episode are, because we can't
tell you; we are sworn to strict Sc
crecy.
