ICE CROP SHORT THIS SEASON

Owing to the mild weather which
has prevailed so far this winter, the
visible supply OF natural ice in this city
is 50 little that it might be said that
a microscope could well he used ia a
search for the solidhed moisture.
Demands are now being supplied from
reserve stocks and the refrigerating
plants, and in consequence the prices
charged to the consumer are very high
as compared with former years.
Hitherto it has been customary for
the large companies to send numbers
of men to the Pocono mountains and
other sections where ice could be har-
vested in a state OF absolute purity
SO far this winter this has not been
done. Even from far-off Maine, where
the bulk Of ice supplies for nearly all
the large cities is secured, come re-
ports of a great shrinkage in output.
with but slim prospects for any better
success.
Taken altogether, the prospect con-
fronting the consumer is not a pleasant
one by any means. and although the
shortage of ice is keenly felt now, it il
hard to tell what suffering win result
during the coming summer.

i've writer, viii come to Wilmington

AGood Definition ofLady

It dined with Charles Dana Gibson
at Princes Restaurant in London dur
ing the season" said a Chicagoan. 1.-THE
lofty, spacious dining-room was filed
with women in pale gowns, their hair
uncovered and their arms and neclzs
bare, and, though these women were
very fashionable. very aristocratic they
smoked cigarettes with their coffee as
they watched the bioscope pictures that
went on at one end of the big room,
and as they listened to the singing that
went on at the other. Amid all this
feminine smoking we Americans began
to discuss and define the word lady.
Was IT ladylilSe to smoke? What was
a lady? I think Mr.. Gibson's defni-
ton OF a lady was the best that was
given. "A lady he said. ignoring the
smoke question altogether, is a woman
who always remembers others and
never forgets herself

There are no tests woman can
apply to find out whether or not cos
metics are adulterated. except by US
ing them or course the price paid
is a comparatively good guarantee.
and then, too. the name of a reputable
firm means that they should be of
superior quality, but the only way to
know a pure cream. or unadulterated
powder is to put itonthe face. Occasion
ally even this test fails, for some wo-
men with an extremely sensitive skin
win have trouble with the best OF
creams and powders.
AS to hair bleaches. the demand
has dropped off during the last year,
for fewer women are treating their
locks with peroxide. With the de-
crease in the use OF bleaches, however,
there is an increase I'm the use of tonicA
