ORCHID ICE CREAM COMMON
1t Does Not Bear That Aristocratie
Title but Goes by the Very PIE.
neian Name of Vanilla.

Very few of us would ever think of
ordering orchid Ice cream without a
little tremor of the pocket book, for
everyone knows that the orchid Is the
most expensive of flowers. But there
are thousands of persons who eat or
child Ice cream daily. Although they
probably have not been aware of the
distinction, 1t Is none the less a fact.
OF course the ice cream Is not ordered
by the aristocratic name of orchid.
On the contrary. it bears the very pie
beian name Of vanilla.
There are said to be no less than
$4,000 varieties Of orchid scattered
over the earth. All of them have the
peculiar artificial beauty and the
haunting odor that seems inseparable
from this flower, which looks almost
as though 1t were product Of an I'M
healthy condition in nature. OF all
these $4,000 varieties, only one has any
practical value, and that is the one
from which vanilla comes. The plant
grows abundantly In South and Gen.
trail America, and has been transplant
ed to other tropical countries, where
1t Is now fourishing.

EtheI,s Note.

A woman on the north side who
prides herself on her social position
and always insists on having perfect
service in every way for any occasion,
was called on recently to give recep-
ton on very short notice to a dlstin-
guished club woman who was passing
through the city, says the Indianapolis
News. All three of her house serv-
ants were gone that day and only the
cook was at home.
Ethel" she requested her little FIVE
year-old daughter, ''you go to the door
and usher the guests In while finish
my toilet"
AT first the child objected, but final
iy she was persuaded to go.
The woman went on with her prepa-
ration, which was interrupted several
times by bad luck, the cook, and ev-
erything else. A woman accustomed
to a maid Is rather helpless when 1t
comes to dressing without one. But
she heard the guests come In and take
chairs In the reception room and she
supposed all was well. At last she
was ready.
Going to the door to find Ethel she
was Mortified to read this little printed
note pinned TO the back of chair.
