Shortly after the arrival of the
guests they were invited to the
punch bowl, where Mesdames
Thomas and Caldwell presided.
The joys and amusements of
this altogether delightful evening
were so many and varied that
one hardly knows where to start
or stop in an effort to mention
some of the things that came to
pass; but the next thing that
created no little fun was the pre-
sentation of souvenirs. The
souvenirs had been previously
l arranged forall the invited guests
. and placed in a magic box, from
which they were drawn in an
t swer to the roll call Of the guests.
Every souvenir was in some way

The new ice plant for the home
looks akin to the ordinary refrig-

man dropping ordinary hunks of
ice into its interior, at so much a
hunk, a small electric motor will
drive a small ammonia ice plant
and circulate brine through a ser

small motor-driven pump. The ar
rangeemnt fer keeping the refriger-
ator cool is the same used to make
artificial ice. With the motor driv-
en- pump ammonia gas is COM
pressed to the point at which the
gas liquifies (for pure ammonia IS
a gas) and the heat generated by
this compression is extracted with
water jackets. This liquified gas
is conducted to the cooler through
pipe allowed to expand in a coil.
OF course, as the gas expands it alb
serbs lust as much heat from its
surroundings as was generated in
COMPRISING it. This lowers the
temperature of the interior nearly
to the freezing point. From the
expansion coil the gas is conducted
back to the compressor ready for
another cycle.
The beauty of the electric re-
frigerator is that it works abso-
lutely automatically and with the
perfection of economy. When the
temperature in the lice box rises
above a certain point tiny cleo
