Origin of Umbrellas

1t is not known just how umbrellas
originated. AS far back as the days
of Nineveh and Persepolis they were
known, for they are shown on ancient
sculptures. The women Of ancient
Rome and Greece carried them, but
the men did not. Jonas Hamway Of
London is said to be the first man to
walk the streets Of that city carrying
an open umbrella to keep off the rain.
He is said to have used one for 80
years before they came into general
use.

DAUGHTER of the Sun

In classic mythology, Circe was the
daughter of Helios (the SUM ana
Perse. She was a famous sorceress'
and lived in the island of Aeaea, sur
rounded by numbers of persons whom
she had changed by her incantations
into animal forms. When Ulysses, IN
the course Of his wanderings after the
fall of Troy, reached this island, the
enchantress turned twenty-five OF MS
companions into wine; but Ulysses,
through the influence Of an herb given
him by Mercury, sought out the sor-
ceress, remained unframed by her
spells, and forced her to restore his
comrades to their original condition.

either cream or sugar, but most people like
both in their morning beverage at least If
cream is not available, evaporated milk is
vastly preferable to skinned milk. Coffee
with hot milk in equal proportions is called
cafe-au-lait.
After-dinner coffee is made by using twice
the usual amount of coffee. 1t is served with
out cream.
Not only does the percolator make coffee in
the easiest and surest way, but the cleaning
and care is unusually simple. The grounds are
all in the strainer at the top of the pot or urn.
Turn them out, rinse out both percolator and
strainer with clear and very hot water. Let
dry thoroughly before putting on lid, and
that's all there is to that. Once in while fill
the percolator with water to which has been
added baking soda. Let this percolate, then
thoroughly rinse. Remember that the base of
an electric percolator should never rest in
The Omaha morning bee., 1924-02-17

clear, fragrant and better coffee is frequently
served.
Good coffee is not hard to make. There are
several simple, but essential, rules to follow.
First, the coffee itself must be real coffee,
properly blended and roasted. 1t must be
ground for the particular method used. For
percolated coffee, the surest and easiest
method the best results are obtained from cof-
fee ground medium fine" The grade found
in package coffees is usually splendid for per-
colators. Pulverized coffee should not be used
with this method, for the fine coffee dust sits
down through the holes in the strainer and
causes bitter flavor. Coffee must be kept in
an alright container if bought already
ground. This makes great deal of difference
in the flavor.
In the second place the proportion Of coffee
and water should be measured. For every cup
of water use one rounding tablespoon of cof-
fee. Remember, there's difference between
rounding and heaping tablespoonful. This is
all there is to it. If stronger coffee is desired,
increase the amount of coffee. For black cof-
fee, twice as much should be used.
The water should be cold. AS soon as the
heat is applied, whether it is by alcohol, gas
simply turning the electric switch percola-
ton begins, if the device is of an approved
make. The amount Of time required to finish
coffee depends upon the amount of water
used. Coffee must not be overlooked. The best
and sure way to get just the right result is to
turn off the current the minute the stream of
coffee, seen through the glass top, bursts into
steam and fine bubbles. At this moment the
.percolator seems to give a particularly
pleased kind of chuckle, as if self-satisfied
over job well done. Some people make the
unfortunate mistake of believing that coffee
will be stronger by letting percolaton con-

using more coffee, not by spelling the flavor
by long cooking.
Here then, you have a clear, steaming, fra

the pot will boil over, no clearing with egg or
egg shells. 1t is possible to leave the coffee
and the water in the percolator ready to turn
the switch and start breakfast In some house
holds this switch is in the bedroom so that cof-

dressing. If percolator is used it is possible
to have every single thing ready
for the after-theater party and
by simply turning on the elec-
tricity have delicious meal with
hot coffee without going into the
kitchen in ones best clothes.
