SUGGESTION FOR GIFT APRONS
May Be Made Extremely Effective
When They Are Composed Of
Two Materials.

The practice of true economy always
gives a pleasant feeling of satisfaction
The woman who is able to make gifts
for birthdays and other anniversaries
has a splendid opportunity to expert
ment with economy.
Some of the prettiest gift aprons
can be made of two materials. For
instance, by using barred muslin for
the upper part OF an apron and fine
handkerchief linen for the bottom, or
pocket portion, of the apron one can
very successfully combine two mate
rials for a sewing apron. The edge
of the apron can be finished with lace
edging which almost anyone has ly-
ins unused in the box of odds and
ends.
Another effective apron can be
made OF two heart-shaped pieces Of
material, the smaller heart being OF
figured material and forming the bib.
while the larger heart forms the low.

RETURN TO HANGING LOCKS?
signs Seem to Indicate That Women
Are Going to Wear Their Hair
Down Again.

Are women going to wear their hair
down again?
Perhaps If you are a devotee of
the film shows you will know that
many of the moving picture stars
wear their hair about their shoulders.
And the moving pictures are a tre-
mendous influence In modern life
even, perhaps, in the fashion of doing
the hair. Already some young girls
have copied some of the favorite pic
ture actresses and wear their hair
curled about their shoulders
The last fashion for wearing the
hair down was the Janice Meredith
curl-and surely that best seller"
hardly had more influence than the
films have today. The fashion for
Janice Meredith curls was short lived,
to be sure. But it was fashion, new
ertheless, for wearing the hair down,
and a very pretty fashion on the
young and charming, at that.
There is something coquettish about
a hanging curl that can never be sug-
gested by hair piled on top of the
head, be it ever so sleek or be it mar
celled to perfection.
Tho fashions of the present, II any
body knows just what they are, favor
a return to hanging locks. For in
1860-perhaps we shall get our bout
FAINT skirts from that period-and in
1870 or 188O-and may be we shall
get tight bodice and a certain skirt
drapery that suggest a hustle from
that time-women cultivated curls and
wore them hanging at the neck or
about the face. So with our old-fash-

The foundation of both the icehouse
and dairy is of concrete made into one
solid wall extending all the way
around. Above the wall both houses
are built of wood, using studding,
matched boards and drop siding. Next
to the studding is one thickness Of
building paper, then matched ceiling
boards are blinG-nailed on the inside
and drop-siding is used for the out
side boarding, leaving a hollow dead
air space between. 1t is a mistake to
pack this space with sawdust. be-
cause the sawdust rots down at the
bottom and settles in spots, leaving
holes.
To preserve the ice from melting,
the first attention should be given to
drainage 1t is absolutely necessary
that the water should get away from
the bottom. If ice stands in water it
melts away rapidly.
The section drawing shows the man
ner in which the house is constructed
in regard to drainage. The space

between the concrete walls under the
ice is hlled with cinders, pounded
down. Above the cinders is a slant
ing floor Of concrete, then layer of
sawdust foot deep. This makes the
very best foundation for ice in farm
icehouse. There are other methods
of keeping ice in large commercial
storage plants, hut what interests the
farmers is cheap, practical way Of
preserving ice for home use.
There is drainage system to the
icehouse which works in connection
with the concrete floor drains. The
center drain leads into a cement pit
in the dairy room, so that the cold
drip water from the ice keeps the wa
ter in the pit-tank cold This pittank
is where the cans of milk are kept
cold over night.
There is a drain pipe leading away
from the. bottom of the cold-water
tank to carry off the surplus water
This drain is fitted with hollow plug,
which reaches high enough to hold the
water at the right level.
The icehouse doors reach from the
sill almost to the peak, making one
continuous opening. so that the ice
can be put in at any level. as the
house is being filled.
A handy way to lift the cakes of ice
is with a hayfork toggle and pair
OF heavy ice tongs A single rope is
attached to the tongs and passed over
the hoisting pulley in the track car
riage at the top and run through a sin
gle sheave at the bottom, 30 that a
horse can quickly lift cake OF ice

This is the time of year to build an
icehouse. A happy, goodhearted
neighbor admitted in his comical way
that he had always wanted an ice
house-in summer-but there was no
ice at that time to fill IT, In winter
1t was cold enough without IT,
EVERY farm should have an ice
house, and every farm should have a
dairy house There is economy in
combining the two. The illustrations
show the perspective and floor plan OF
combination farm icehouse and
dairy, large enough to handle the milk
from a good-sized herd of mixers,
The icehouse is large enough to hold
cube of ice 16 feet in diameter To
keep we'll there should be considerable
bulk of ice together in one block.
In this design the dairy wing is
built to the south, which helps to
protect the south side of the icehouse
from the hot summer sun. Also, a
dairy room needs considerable sun
shine. so it works right both ways.
