CANDLES ON DINING TABLE.
Must Be Properly Arranged TO Get
the Best Effects.

Must Be Properly Arranged to Get
the Best Effects.
Candle-lighteo dining tables are
more popular than ever. Four can
dies are needed TO light the smallest
table. and four double-branched can
dlesticks are liked better. Besides
silver and brass, glass candlesticks, in
old English and colonial designs, are
seen. Cut glass is to be preferred, of
course, but good limitations are made.
Il is hard TO understand how wrought
ron ever came to be used for either
lamps or candlesticks. Possessing no
powers Of reflection or refraction, the
light Of even a strong fame is dimin-
lshed at least one.half, and a most de-
pressing effect obtained. Candle
shades are works of art, whether
made of silk and trimmed with chiffon
and beads, or fashioned OF paper and
decorated with water color designs.
Glass shades, cubes OF opalescent ma
terial, jewels encrusted, are charming.
as also are the parchment paper ones
with old prints in delicate pink and
blue tints, Inserted on one side. Can
die shades always should be arranged
to hide the flame, as the glare so near
the eyes is unpleasant.

NoURIsHMENT IN ICE CREAM.
Properly Made, II Is Ideal Food for
Hot Weather.

As the summer months call for
change in diet, the home mistress is
often at loss to supply her table with
food that will be wholesome, yet
within the reach of a slender purse.
The idea that ice cream is only a
luxury should be dismissed as soon as
possible from the mind of the caterer.
Made of a boiled custard, II contains
the best possible material for health
and strength. Sugar, milk and eggs
all excellent for the human body. This
with the cold to help protect from in
tense heat, makes ice cream an ideal
food in hot weather. But It must not
be concluded that all frozen creams
are good; too often the commodities
sold under various enticing names are
anything but creams; gelatin, con-
densed milk, not the best; -four, the
flavors made of harmful chemicals,
are set forth in attractive guise and
in time ruin the digestion, producing
illness not to be otherwise explained.

interesting to note that this amount
