A Unique Ice Fountain.

In the parks and public places in the
colder parts of Germany a not uncom-
mon object in winter is the so called
ice fountain, a rugged pyramid of ice
many feet in height, which glistens in
the winter sun and is most effective.
1t is constructed as follows:
A fir tree of suitable dimensions and
dense growth is placed upright in the
ground or in a circular pond where
there is a water fountain, and a water
pipe with a fairly fine rose is fixed to
the stem so that the rose is at the top.
The water is then allowed to run
slowly, generally at night when there
is a frost. and In the morning it is
turned off again. The water freezes as
it trickles over the branches, and after
two or three nights severe frost the
tree is entirely enveloped in ice. A
well frozen ice fountain will last some
days even when thaw has set in, and
it can always be touched up on the re-
turn of the frost by turning on the wa
ter again.

a shensi Excuse For pirtiness.

In Soldering and Sport In Uganda"
the author noticed the extreme dirti-
ness of a Shensi herdsman. whose hair
was matted with clay and his face and
arms incrusted with yellow sand:
when l checked him for his sloven-
ly appearance, poking my stick through
his entangled curls, he told me he was
a herdsman and went on to explain
that when he tended cattle if he turned
up clean and washed they would have
such a fright at the sight of him that
they would run away, whereas in his
present messy condition they had no
fear of him whatever. Again, when he
had to milk them. the more begrimed
he was so much the more did they pro-
duce. l asked him if he would
like some elephant meat. but he replied
that if q herdsman ate meat the cattle
would mistrust him, whereas as it was
they treated him as one of themselves"

inns In the Old DAYS.

Inns In Europe in ancient times were
sometimes dangerous places, and
great innkeepers' convention was held
in Germany early in 1900 at which
plans We're made for experimenting
murderOus bonifaces. However, the
congress broke up in a fight about the
relative merits of English and French
hostelries. and nothing was done about
the matter.
During the meeting several hosts told
of the continued complaints received
from guests who had been kept awake
by fieas in the beds. 1t was recon-
mended that guests be compelled to
furnish their own bedding, that they
might have only themselves to blame.
The proposition of changing the bed
and table linen, where any was used,
once every two weeks was discussed
and rejected. The German innkeepers
boosted that they changed theirs every
Lords day." but nobody believed
them.
One enterprising delegate suggested
that men be stationed in a belfry tow
er in every city to spy out approach
ing travellers, so that the innkeepers
might prepare for their arrival.

A REAL WORKSHOP.
What the Kitchen Is to the Progressive
HouseNife.

Many women have vrcng idea of
what Kitchen should be- They often
seem to think of 1t as 4 kind of room
where everything should be hidden
away and tucked away from sight.
This may result in appearance" but
it is not efficiency. A kitchen is th>
workshop for the preparing Of food,
and efficiency and convenient placing
should rule over mere looks.
The efficient kitchen should be so ar
ranged that it is not necessary to hide
all pots and pans under doors and in
cupboards away from sight Did you
ever visit a factory or large establish
ment where the boilers and the cal
drons and the betting and the thousand
tools We're stuck away from sight when
not in use? Your kitchen equipment
should be so attractive and good that
1T looks well and doesn't need to be
tucked away.
Every time a pot is pushed into a
shut closet we increase the dangers OF
uncleanliness, and it takes US twenty
unnecessary motions to stoop to place
it in a low cupboard and fish it out
again. Hang up, place on shelves, put
knives in strips of canvas, screw eyes
on small pieces; use no closet doors If
possible and let your kitchen be real
workshop.

BILE Embroidered Collars and Cuffs.
No matter how particular you may
be in caring for embroidered collars or
centerpieces, they will become soiled.
Every housewife should know how to
clean these articles. so that she need
not resort to the professional cleaner
when they become soiled.
Place half pint Of bran in a pan
and add the same amount of cold
water. Allow it to boil slowly for
twenty minutes and then strain through
fine cloth. Add a pint of boiling wa
ter and use this mixture to wash fine
embroideries and laces for the first
time. Squeeze them gently with the
hands, and If they are much soiled
soap jelly can be added to the mix
ture. This is made by dissolying pure
white soap in boiling water
If the embroidery is done with col
ors add salt to the rinsing water. which
should be clean and moderately hot
This will set the colors of silks or cot
tons so that they will not run 1t is
wise precaution to immense colored
embroideries in salt water before wash
ig in the bran water
Embroidered articles should be dried
quickly and ironed on the wrong side.
First spread the work over a folded
blanket covered with clean muslin
When ironed on this the embroidery
will stand out in bold relief.
If the doilies or scarfs are fringed at
the edges shake them well when quite
damp and never iron, or they will be-
come matted

The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1914-04-27

The new moires this season are par
t!cularly fascinating; instead of the
OLD indefinite watermark, we have un-
usually effective designs. Rose moire
In which the watermark forms a rose
design, is one of the most favored;
another shows a butterfly and there
are numerous others. This material
is no longer heavy and stiff, but as
soft and supple as any of the other
new silks. 1t seems especially suited
to afternoon gowns and the more
dressy suits. 1t is quite a fad nova
days to wear a lace blouse in which
there Is not trace Of the color of the
skirt for afternoon; it is an economi-
cal fad, as one skirt may be made to
serve with several blouses. In Number
1858 we have one of the popular peg
top effects; the lines of this skirt are
straight and the fullness is laid about
the waist in soft plaits. 1t is design
well suited to MORE and combined
with a lace blouse or one Of chiffon,
would make very attractive after
noon dress. Moire averages AZ inches
In width and may be purchased from
$3.50 a yard and up. This skirt may
be made in size "a with two and seven
eighths yards of 42-inch material. The
pattern is cut in five sizes, % to 30.
THIS is A PERFECT PATTERN,

ing the tape tightly around the small
