Living i'm a Trunk for a Week

The object in having them sorted is

each pile and can go directly to it, thus
saving both space and time. Hats must
be kept in boxes, under the bed or even
out in the room, If there is no closet,
for they cannot stay in the trunk as
there would be no space for other
pieces.
In even the most restricted quarters
there are usually three or four hooks in
a closet or under a shelf, and it is the
part of simple living to use these for
ones coat and for the skirts most
frequently worn. Also, from the first,
no variation should be made in the ar
rangement for confusion will exist in
the owners mind and make unneces-
sary handling.
There is this to be said by way of
compensation for living in ones trunk

properly put away. A skirt when taken
off should be laid on the bed, patted
smooth and then folded in the original
creases. In this shape it is laid away
and comes forth neatly pressed. A
little tissue paper tucked into the
sleeves of waists will keep them in fine
shape and many bill for ironing may
thus be saved

NEGLECTED. REFRIGERAToRs

N HE charge made by a medical au-
thority that the average uncleanly
Il ice box is a charnel house which
not only holds death, but spreads it, is
not only a sweeping assertion, but an
alarming one, especially when the pos
sibility of it's truth is considered.
Perhaps it is not going too far to say
that if one could go into several dozen
homes in a city and examine the re-
frigerators, nine out of twelve would be
found in an uncleanly, if not unsani-
tary, condition. Upon the inner walls
would be found smirches of butter or
dried blood where the meat had touched
it, or various deposits of cooked Vege-
tables, or soil from uncooked vege-
tables, such as salads which have been
put in unwashed. Upon the floor of the
ice box would perhaps be found drops
of milk or places where salad dressing
had tipped over, and in the ice cham
ber or the drain pipe there would be
more or less of that slime inseparable
from the melting of ice. To open the
door of some ice boxes is generally
proof enough of their condition, since
out rushes the cold air laden with
that stale smell betraying q state OF
neglect.
1t seems so easy to take things as
they come home from the grocers ana
stuff them into the ice box, where they
are supposed to be safe from harm;
giving that receptacle a weekly scrub
bing perhaps, and thereby atoning for
the everyday neglect. But the tntelll-
gent housewife knows that 1t is not
SO much a matter of cleaning the ice
box we'll after it has become soiled as
to be vigilant in preventing its ever
getting into that condition to need
such a cleaning.
Ignorance and Indifference are re-
sponsible for this state of things, and
the undeniable fact that young house
keepers sometimes prefer to pick out
a Beethoven sonata, read an Ibsen play
or memorize a bridge rule, rather than
trace the ptomaine to its lair While
1t cannot be denied that these pursuits
are vastly more interesting than
plebeian Jobs like scrubbing refriger-
ators and cleaning sinks, still, who
knows, when the last summing up is
made, what praise may be given to the
one who does the right rather than
the enjoyable thing, and what blame
can be laid to the door OF her VINO
followed simply pleasure?
The girl who marries of ten thinks
altogether of the selfish happiness the
change shall bring her, and not OF the
RESPONSIBILITIES which she has assumed
Her mlnu is Hxeu UPON tiio ~, - ~
which she and Prince Charming shall
enact as the days go by. But OF the
dishes to be washed three times day
and 365 days in year she reckons
NOT at all, nor any of the rest of the
other unromantic routine, involving
the ice box and coal scuttle, frying pan
and wash tub; these things are of
that nature from which she prefers
to avert the eye.
Once fully embarked upon matrl-
shirk these things, and if, as this doc
tor saws, she then allows her ice box
to be a charnel house containing not
only death but spreading it, she is OF
that criminally negligent class held
equally responsible. in the eye of the
law, with those who deliberately plot
against the peace and health of, the
community.

but irremediable under present condi-
tions-are reduced to part time. When

A GIRL who must spend a week or
II more "in her trunk should reduce
- the clothes problem to a science
For if she is visiting or spending her
vacation in a place where quarters are
so limited that she cannot unpack, her
existence will be hampered unless she
avoids confusion by having the articles
conveniently placed.
If she is sufficiently fortunate to have
one bureau drawer, the chances are
that she will have more comfort by re-
serving this for her small accessories
such as collars, ties, belts and toilet
articles. These are constantly required
throughout the day, and to go to
trunk for them is not easy. 1t is also
advisable to put a change of under
clothings in one corner of the drawer.
They will take little space, and if ar
ranged in the order worn there will be
no confusion.
To let the others stay in the trunk
and not crush will take some thought
to work out successfully. Obviously, to
keep clothes looking fresh, the heaviest
should be at the bottom, and however
great a nuisance it may be, piques and
lawns on top. If the trunk has tray.

four or five thin frocks, such as organ
dies, may be laid in it, keeping them

Homemade Ice Cream Apparatus

Rules to remember:
1. Use good ingredients.
2. Use rough ice (chipped smalD and
common salt, allowing one pound of salt
to seven pounds of ice.
3. Put the ice and salt in layers in
the freezer.
4. If the freezer is of tin, do not keep
the ice longer in it than is necessary,
as it is apt to lose it's delicate flavor,
and sometimes become discolored.
5. Avoid using copper utensils.
6. If the mixture is oversweetened, it
will not freeze firmly; while the other
extreme causes it to freeze too hard.
Z. Do not put the mixture to be
frozen into the freezer while it is still
warm; wait until it is cold, so as not
to waste the freezing mixture.
s. Scrape the ice mixture from the
sides of the pot frequently, and beat
it in smoothly; otherwise the ice will
be rough and unevenly frozen.
8. Stop up any loose lid or likely
leakage in the vessel containing the
mixture to be frozen with lard; if this
is not done, the salt will penetrate
through and ruin it.
10. For the same reason carefully
wipe round the lid and edges when
opening the vessels

KIT CES are beyond our means" said
a friend recently, and if one has
n in mind those sold by confestion-
ers and caterers they are beyond the
reach of many housekeepers. But there
is cheap way of procuring ices as well
as an expensive one, and that is to
make them at home.
And in order to do this you need
neither expensive utensils nor costly
ingredients.
If you can conveniently afford an in
expensive freezing apparatus, of course
it is better than makeshift, and there
are excellent ones on the market hold
ing two quarts costing only a small
sum.
But in any ordinary house you will
find effective substitutes, and the only
expenditure need be for the ice and salt
for the freezing mixture, and the
various ingredients for the ices them
selves.
Apparatus required:
A freezing machine or freezing pot
and ice tub.
A spatula. An ice pick.
Homely substitutes
A large milk can or a zinc bath.
A bone paper knife.
A large darning needle.
