BACK TO AMERICA

MacMonnies' patriotic enthusiasm one
must know his commanding ambition:
the hope that lies closest to his heart
and torments his waking and sleeping
hours with the fear that 1t may never
be realized. But those who are close
to him say that it will be realized, and,
1t may be, soon. Mr., MacMonnies lives
in the hope that some day in America
in New York, perhaps, or in Wash
ington-the great fountain that was
the crowning glory of the Chicago

ican sculptor wishes his great work to
be in America, his gift to the land Of
his birth,
or this fountain st. Gaudens said:
ut is the finest fountain / have ever
seen." There can be no higher praise
than that. No one who was at the
most memorable of worlds fairs will
ever forget it. There had been worlds
fairs before and there have been
worlds fairs since; other fairs and
other fountains, many of them; but
the memory OF that one fountain en-
dures. The Barge of State, with the

barge along, made the one picture of
the Dream City that will never fade
from the memories of those that be-
held it, When the Dream City was de-
stroyed the fountain was destroyed
with it. But during all these years
Mr.. MacMonnies has cherished his
dream and kept the models. They are
now in the atelier at Giverny. At con-
siderable cost he has preserved them,
and friends say, now that he is coming
back to this country, the hope that he
has cherished will be fulfilled; his am
bition realized.

WHERE ONE COSTUME is LIMIT.
For the Majority There Is No subst'-
tute for the Coat and Skirt Suit.

The great mass of American girls
and women cannot make many choices
in clothes. They can afford one cos
tune, which must serve for the greater
number of hours, and rely on one ar
tis.ic costume or several simple ones
to wear during the other hours.
While there is tendency to subsu-
tute the topcoat for the coat suit TINS
should be yielded to with care and dis
cretion. The pocketbook, ones man
ner of life, the climate, should be
taken into consideration.
For the majority of women there
should be no substitute for the coat
suit. 1t passes muster where many
other kinds of gowns fail. American
women are busy; many are wage
earners, thousands attend to the
majority of their own outdoor errands'
and lead a life far removed from the
well-placed Europeans.
There are secluded women who dc
not enter actively into any outdoor life
and who venture from their houses
more often for social occasions and
church than on any other errand.
These prefer the blouse suit, for II
serves nearly all their purposes. The
top coat gives warmth for day and
evening.
For all the others a coat suit Is al
most necessity, unless one prefers
separate rough skirt with blouses To

middle of winter is that when the ma
terial is thin enough for the house

and finally put on the labels. We do not
heat the honey, as our trade does not
demand it, In fact, many prefer it in the
candied state. The editor of Bee Culture
suggests that one better afford to cut q
hole in the floor in which to put the pail,
and. when the extracting season is over,
cover 1t with trap-door. A better ar
rangement, as suggested. is to run a tin
pipe to convey the honey to a tank on
a lower level. The trouble with running
the honey direct into a pail is that one

than that from the steam extractors.
The wax formed by pressure under wa.
ter was nearly as good in color as
the wax from the solar extractors.
Wax from old brood comb is too
dark to be used for comb foundation,
so that some satisfactory method of
bleaching must be employed. Various
methods of bleaching were therefore
tried, but most of them either de-
stroyed the wax or were in themselves
poisonous.
AS a result of these experiments,
and from his experience in handling
bees and rendering wax, Mr.. Afford ex.
presses the following opinion
1T is best for the average bee keep
er to have a large solar wax extract
or, heated by some artificial heat by
means of which most of the wax in
the lighter colored combs, cappings,
and burr combs may be easily rem
dered. The dark combs may also be
treated in this manner and the slum-
gum stored in barrels until the bee
keeper has time to treat it with dilute
sulphuric acid and press under water
This method is quick and efficient. If
the wax be refined 1t can be done by
heating, while inclosed in a canton
flannel sack, with solution contain
ing five per cent. of hydrogen perox-
ide and two to FIVE per cent. of sui
phuric acid Both of these chemicals
can be bought at the ordinary drug
store. The common kind, commercial,
should be used.
''In mixing the acid and the water
care should be taken to always pour
the acid gently into the water and not
the water into the acid.
"The cost of chemicals compared
with the results obtained is W.
slight"

extraction-a practice followed by
some bee keepers. Soaking the comb

tion of sulphuric acid increased the
yiela of wax about five per cent.
Three kinds of steam extractors
were tested in these experiments.
Tests were also made of pressure un-
der water with and without addition Of
five per cent. of sulphuric acid.
Pressing Under Water.-The comb,
with some water, was put In tub
ON the stove and the wax allowed to
melt but not to boil. A can was
placed under a press and Slated fol-
lower placed in the bottom of the can.
Above this was placed a burlap bag
and the hot water, melted wax, and
comb were poured into the bag, the
ton of the bag folded over, Slated
follower placed on top and pressure
applied by means of screw After
some of the way had been forced out,
the water and wax were drawn off,
the pressure relieved, the "slumgum"
stirred. hot water added, and pressure
applied again. The can, which fits
under the press. has two holes which
are stopped by corks. One Is at the
bottom and the other near the top. BY
pulling the cork out of the upper hole
the wax, which has risen to the top,
can be drawn off, and by using the
lower hole all of the wax and water
can be removed. The whole apparatus
must be kept as warm as possible.
