How to Keep Wate Gold.

Having tried it, l recommend
the following mode of keeping
ice water for a long time in a
common pitcher" says writer
in Woman's Home Companion
for July. "Place between two
sheets OF thick brown paper a
layer of cotton batting about
half an inch in thickness fasten
the ends of the paper and bat
ting together, forming a circle,
then sew or paste crown over
oGs end, making box the shape
OF a stovepipe hat minus the rim.
Place this over an ordinary
pitcher filed with ice water,
making it deep enough to rest on
the table so as to exclude the
air, and you will be astonished
to see the length of time that the
ice will keep and and water re-
main cold after all the ice has
melted"
