WHEN THE PRICE OF ICE SCARS
SOME POINTS WORTH KNOWING
ABOUT THE ICE BOX.

Ne Sure IT'S Airtight-Ec0nomy In Not Try
ing to sIdmp On tho Ice suppiy-Cleanii-
ness Requires Ugiiance-A Cool Loca-
tion Not ~Essennal-Use Of Hot Watcr.
This 10 the time Of year when tho icebox
adds to the worries Of the average house,
keeper, and In the face Of a threatened ad-
vance In the price Of Ice the question OF fee
beat way 10 economics is urgent. Almost
every housekeeper WINS an icebox OF
some kind, but few understand the scienoe
Of running II to tho best advantage.
With regard to the box iteeK, whether 70
10 one of the latest patterns Of porcelain,
enamelled tile or fancy glsna, or just the
regulation old zinc and sawdust, thsrei are
two or three points about It that every
housskeeper should know.
It 10 O mistake to suppose that an icebox
must be set In q cool place, because the
box does not absorb heat from the outside
IL IL is properly made. IL is only when the
box Is not absolutely airtight or 10 too
frequently opened that It is affected by
being kept In q place where the air 10 warm.
In other words, II it is not a good box
you must keep IL In q cool place to help 1t
along. as Il cannot do it's work without
ooddling.
The principal thing about the icebox Is
to AVE 1t perfectly alright. Most Of the
trouble comes from letting warm air stream
into the box through the drain pipe. There
should always be a trap under this drip
| pipe, which the melting Ice can keep filed
With water. This water trap keeps out the
al.
Every icebox should have the ice chamber
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1906-07-01

rinsed out with boiling water at least once
a week, to eet rid of the accumulated slime
at the bottom, and the edges Of the doors,
where they bind against the casing, should
be thoroughly wiped Off, because that is
where germs accumulate, even in the most
extensive boxes. No matter what a box
may be lined with the alright castings
must be watched.
There Is a continual discussion among
housekeepers as to the proper quantity OF
ice to take 30 as TO get the best results for
the least money. One person will tell you
to get a big lump at q time, while another
will recommend little and often.
There Is no economy In taking 100 pounds
one day and letting It run down until you
want another 100 pounds. Neither Is there
any in having only just enough to be able
to say there Is Ice in:the box all the time.
:. Tho trick:is to keep the ice chamber full.
The. more ice there Is in 1t, the colder the
'box, without any extra cost for the Ice
itself, because the anne quantity fed into
a full box day by day will give you twice
az much cold as II 1t were fed into q half
empty loo chamber.
1t Is q great mistake to put anything In
the ice chamber with the ice. II is no colder
there than In the box itself. Keep the ice
chamber for ice, and keep 1t full.
Suppose you start out witt rs pounds
and add rs - It the mex day. You will
find your first lump down to about so, which
fills you up 10 rs again. On the third day,
when YOU come to- put in another ?6. your
FIRST lump will be down to about ~ and the

While formerly it was the violet COM

now it is the woman with a skin the color of

exceeding popularity Of pink for summer
gowns.
The summer girls complexion must be
the color Of June roses; not the dairy maid
red Of some English women, but a veritable
sea shell pink. She must have a touch Of
color on the tip Of her dainty chin, a faint
must be the color with which nature adorns
the heart of the rose.
Her veil is pink to intensity her make

LUXURTES FOR TIE BABY.

It is an easy matter to find dainty pres
ents to add to q baby's layette to-day. for,
quite outside OF the usual line Of dresses
and sacks and wrappers and bibs and coats
and piansns blsnkets, de-, are a host of little
frivolous things, more or less useful and all
"': Tss bsS, pillo- i; always a welcome rift,
and may be an excessively expensive one II
the giver Is 80 inclined; for a wealth of the
most exquisite hand embroidery and drawn
work Is lavished upon some Of the fine sheer
linen p~illowooverg, and all Of them have at
least q little embroidery or other hand
work.
Weighing baskets Of white wicker, softly
padded and cushioned with tufted pink
or blue silk g cotton and resting upon
white emameled scales, are orna mental as
well as useful.

hamper,a decorative affair, enamelled white
and tied with big blue or pink bows. Some
OF the hampers have panelled sides painted
with nursery rhymes or baby pictures.
Straps 10 hold baby in carriage or high
chair are made Of silk or linen, embroidered,
bound with ribbon or leather and finished
with ribbon bows and gilt or pearl buckles
A little ring chain Of gold, so fine as to be
almost invisible, Is made to pass aroun a
tiny wrist and fasten to a finger ring, in
side the hand, 80 securing the ring. Il II
Is large enough to slip of easily. which is
usually the case with a baby's first ring.
Baby srmlets made Of narrow shirred
pink or blue ribbon and trimmed with
diminutive bows or ace rosettes look like
ENputian carriers, but are meant to old
up baby sleeves in place Of the fancy pins
generally used.
Small powder puff bag, sponge bags,
&c, are made in pink or blue silk q lingerie
stuff over silk and daintily embroidered
with the bsby's name and a garland design.
The sponge bags have, Of course, a thin
rubber lining.

babyish and prettier in the baby basket
than costier sets Of enamel, silver or ivory,
Padded Clothes hangers. covered with
pink or bloc ribbon and reproductions in
