Fair Notes

The most complimentary com- ment yet heard on the efforts of the Fair Association is contained in a post card recently received from Mrs. Vincent Widney. It seems that the Widneys visited the San Francisco Fair this sum mer. Nine-year-old Jimmy sur veyed the spectacular panorama of Treasure Island with a critic al eye. Finally he turned to his mother and said: T don't think this is so much. I thought it would be like the Nome Fair

sleep One hand slipped about
her shoulder It's time to make
the rounds-ten minutes past the
time, but it's my fault. Good
night"
In a whisper she answered his
good night and then he was gone.
For little time she sat quite still,
bewildered, and then. remembering
that the rounds had to be made,
she rose and lifting one of the
stone jars filled the two pitchers
with the percious boiled water and
set out
The heat was dreadful and when
she returned she wiped the sweat
from her face with a bit of cotton
gauze and then sitting down again
at the table, she poured herself q
glass of water and drank it.
There came to her again that
faint sound like the whispering Of
dead leaves stirred by a breeze.
and raising her eyes they met
again the patient, doe-eyes of the
dying woman in the bed. The
purple lips moved framing the
Gujerati word for water. Again
the skinny fingers appeared from
beneath the Sari and were thrust
into the gaping mouth.
Quietly she rose and took up
the glass pitcher. But Immediately
she put it down again with faint
quick sense of horror. She had
given this woman to drink from
the glass on the table instead of
from the woman's own cup and
afterward she had drunk from the
same glass.
The whispering sound went on
and, taking up one of the enameled
pitchers she crossed to the side of
the bed, filled the womans own
cup with water and held it to her
lips, thinking, What is done is
done; wondering, too, if there
was some way of disinfecting ones
insides. ITO Be Conitnued)

PROPER WAY TO USE WATER
KETTLE
BY Emily Post

Dear Mrs. Post: For Christmas
I received silver water kettle to
match my sterling silver tea and
coffee pots. Win you please tell me
just how this water kettle is to be
used That is. is the boiling water
poured from the water kettle into
the teapot and tea ball dropped
in. and can this water kettle be
used to make coffee in the living
room, too
Answer: The water for silver
kettle is always first boiled on the
kitchen range because II takes so
long for an alcohol wick to bring
water TO a boiD. then the water
that has been boiled is put over
the wick and then, when il is again
boiling hard il should be poured
over the tea whether in the ball or
in the bottom of the pot. But do
not ever put coffee in your hot
water kettle. If you make filtered
coffee you can use the boiling
water from the kettle for this just
as well as for tea.
