cannot be kept long. When the box is
kept thoroughly chilled the ice itself
does not get a chance to melt. The
ice compartment should never be
opened unless absolutely necessary.
It will be found at the end Of the
season that the cost of ice and waste
of food have been much greater than
if the ice chamber had been kept filed.
A small refrigerator, well stocked with
ice, is more useful than large one
only half full. A way Of economic
ing is to wrap the ice in paper or
wooden cloths. This would be all right
if the idea were to preserve the ice,
but thus wrapped it cannot cool the
refrigerator, and so fails in doing its
legitimate work. Ice saving schemes
are absurd, defeating the purpose OF
the refrigerator. 1t is the food that
is to be kept instead of the ice. The
household refrigerator is frequently
expected to do impossibilities in car
ing for foods. It is a great labor
saver when properly used, and may be
depended upon the year around and
not merely in summer.
Wash the ice and put it carefully
in the box. If you have one that is
porcelain-lined, dropping the ice in
may mean a break, and then the pur-
any doubt of the purity of the ice it
should not be used in the drinking
water or in direct contact with foods

very. expensive proceeding. In the first
place do not buy a cheap one, and, in
the second place, do not buy small
one.
Both will be found to use up a large
amount Of ice, which will melt and run
of. and the box be nothing but a
dark, unventilated piece of furniture.
A new refrigerator should stand for
twenty-four hours after the ice cham
Der is filled before any article of food
is put into it.
It is also important that there be
little If any wood in the interior of the
refrigerator If it were not for the
question of cost there is no doubt that
taken all in all. tiled. porcelain lined
or enameled refrigerator would be the
best. Such surfaces are smooth. easily
kept clean and do not absorb odors.
A refrigerator should always be well
ventilated, and so arranged that the
cold air from the ice chamber should
circulate freely in the food chambers.
In choosing a refrigerator, one having
two separate compartments for storing
food and generous one for ice should
be decided upon, so that with the ice
in the centre the meat stored on one
side will not faint the butter, cream
and milk kept away on the other.
When there are no separated and
quarantined divisions neither fish,
cheese, cabbage, onions nor bananas

themselves. Water may be cooled to
a refreshing temperature by standing
in bottles against the ice.
Do not think Of covering the shelves
with cloth or paper any more than
you do the ice. There must be good
circulation, with consequent melting
of ice, to preserve the food therein.
Put nothing edible directly on the ice.
If it needs must go there see that 1t
is in glass or porcelain.
No Warm Food or Chemicals.
There are people who are perfectly
reckless in the way they waste ice
and lower the temperature Of the re-
frigerator. Such people place warm
food in the refrigerator, and even on
the ice, hoping to cool it more quick
ly, thus raising the temperature and
producing a vapor which is bad for
both the food and for the refrigerator.
Nothing is worse than putting warm
food in closed vessels or in refrigera-
in meat. milk, poultry, etc., these
foods should not be placed in a closed
receptacle. That the article is sur
rounded by low temperature will not
insure it against decomposition. All
foods, animal and vegetable, that have
been cooked should be thoroughly
cooled before being put away. The
more quickly a substance is cooled the
longer it will keep. Never mix warm

a silk soutache of the same shade as
the material 1t would also be most
appropriate model for a wash dress
if one has the good fortune to have
laundry work done at bone, where one
is sure that no chemicals or other fad
ing agents are employed.
Light blue chambray embroidered in
white floss is almost sure to withstand
even the rough treatment Of a public
laundry, while pink and white or yellow
and white launder almost as well, while
pique or linen are very attractive and
fresh, and ones favorite color may be
employed in the embroidery.
Chambrays and French ginghams
are the safest to use in colored goods,
while piques, ducks, canvas and linen
in various weights and weaves are al
ways durable and appropriate for chill
dren's dresses.
A smart touch is given to the frock
in the second illustration by the use Of
a slashed yoke through which is passed
a wide soft ribbon ending in a pretty
chou. This could be developed In either

affects the fish, Meat should never be
laid directly on the ice, natural or ar
tificial, as it extracts all the good meat
juices.
Half of the success in preserving eat
ables during the warm weather is in
the care of placing them. The re-
frigerator should stand in a cool, we'll
lighted place. A fact that is not often
recognized. even by the careful house
wife, is that the refrigerator should
never be in a damp and airless place.
1t should always be placed where it
can be easily drained. Dampness will
warp the wood and by so doing make
the tight closing of the doors impossi-
BILE. This will admit the warm ex-
terror air, melt the ice and defeat the
purpose for which the refrigerator was
built.

Proper ventilation is an absolute
necessity. Another point to remember

which must be selected with great dis
erection, French challies and tennis
flannel.
AS to colors, there are innumerable
shades of gray, blue, red and tan that
are not too dark to look out Of place
on child and yet deep enough in tone
to neutralize the light soil of rubbing
Of the hands and books upon the
dress.
Of such utility is the little embroi-
dered dress in the first illustration;
the small bit Of hand work gives quite
distinctive touch and is of such sim
pie design as to be easily achieved by
the most inexperienced needle woman.
The dress is cut almost like a. baby
dress, the fullness being taken up by
ten half-inch tucks or box plaits and
sewed to the shallow yoke. The bot
tom is finished with an embroidered
ruff1e of the goods and five tucks or
rows of braid as personal taste may
dictate. 1t is designed to wear with
white muslin guimpe, as all dresses
not intended for tubing should be.

winter life.
Perhaps the first matter Of impor-
lance is in deciding what to do with
the children; whether they shall be
sent to kindergarten or school, or be
taught at home by governess.
The next question is wearing APP
parel. for every mother delights in the
appearance of her boys and girls and
takes keen delight in the little toy
gerry that is so similar and simple yet
hard to design or purchase with any
eye to individuality.

OF no small Importance is the little
pinafore which many mothers despise
as an ugly, plebeian thing which her
dainty darling shall never be obliged to
don. These same despised pinafores
may be made not only very dainty and
cunning. but they prolong the life Of
frock many months by keeping the
dress fresh and clean for several days
and preventing many tears. Our next
issue will contain a number Of very
smart though practical models of
aprons for small girls.

CARE OF

and Cleaning.

IN hot weather the care Of the re-
frigerator is a matter of utmost
L importance. During the summer
the cold storage room and re-
frieerator should be cleaned at least
once a week; better twice. Perhaps
the choice Of a refrigerator has much
to do with the satisfaction Of having
perfectly sweet food during hot
weather.
