A little later she stood BY the dresser

set out before her. After her usual fash

depression passed as her mind dwelt
upon her days outing. When she sat
down to her supper Miss Betty was at

who have employed very temporary
structures for the storage Of their ice

this. as an abundance of ice on every

There are two or three weak points
in the general construction Of buildings

q kind Of roof, on which the sun gen.
crates such intense heat that the inside
of the house is more like an oven than
a place for keeping ice. While little

of site there are certain precautions
to be taken in order to secure q good
