In tropical Afnica the inner bark of a leguminous tree is utilized in the same way. Indeed, it is surprising to learn how widely treebarks are em- ployed as material for clothing the world over. And in the West Indies grows the “lace-bark tree," which yields a delicate tissue so like lace that many articles of feminine adorn- ment are made from it.

She brush- ed her hair in the new way, in loose shining waves and graceful coils that caught the sun. Then shame of the girl in the mirror seized her; and she shook out the pins and combed the copper glory primly back in its ac- customed braids. It was lovely how- ever she arranged it. l Under the window other voices came to her ears. She crossed td room softly, drew back the curtains and looked down.

UN I aruu i A cover of canton flannel, burlap, or lduck is made to fit the frame. Put (the smooth side out if canton flannel 'is used. It will require about three ' yards of material. This cover is but- ;toned around the top of the frame _and down the side on which the door I is not hinged, using buggy hooks and ieyes or large-headed tacks and eye- lets worked in the material. On the {front side arrange the hooks on the top of the door instead of on the _ frame and also fasten the cover down I the latch side of the door, allowing a lwide hem of the material to overlap :the place where the door closes. The Idoor can then be opened without un- buttonlng the cover. The bottom of the cover should extend down into the lower pan. Four double strips, which taper to 8 or 10 inches in width, are sewed to the upper part of the cover. These strips form wicks that dip over (into the upper pan. I The second "step" should be 12 in.

Or this can be tin, painted and then enameled to prevent rusting. The whole frame should be painted to keep it from warping. A wire screen may be put around the sides and on the door if you wish to make it stouter and to exclude insects. There are four corner posts, each 3 ft. 6 in. high, and made of 1x2 in. lumber. The shelves should be made of 1x12 in. lumber and the corners sawed out 1x2 in. to fit the corner posts. The shelves are 15 in. long. The middle shelves may be made of strips or of poultry netting so as to let the air through. This is the simple principle of the iceless refrigerator. A wet cloth sur- rounding a frame will make the space on the inside cool enough to keep the milk sweet, the butter hard and the other foods in good condition.

Families having their own freezers should serve ice-cream often for dessert. Its cost is no greater than that of pie and cake and it furn- ishes nourishment. During hot weather give the baby all the cool water-not fee water-he Mint sauce can be made now for winter use. Gather the leaves when dry and clean; chop finely, put in a bottle and fill with vinegar; cork well. When used pour out the quantity de- sired for flavorimt, and add to it more vinegar and sugar to taste. Early in the morning throw one downstairs room open to the cool, fresh air, and as soon as the sun is fairly up close it tightly, shutting out every possible degree of heat. Im.. mediately after dinner tell the little people, and children are little people from two years of age to twelve, that they may stay up later in the evening if they will take a nice nap while it is too warm to play. Make them com- fortable in the cool, dark room pre- pared for Just this use early in the morning with heavy cotton comfort- able, on the floor and cool pillows, and, using hrmness if necessary. insist that they go to sleep. The average child will sleep until three or four o'clock and the most intense heat of the day will then be passed. In dog days give a light breakfast; do not insist that little children eat what is set before them if to do so means starting the day with tears and bickering. At ten o'clock a few dainty sandwiches and a glass of lemonade will makeysp for the lack of break- fast. After supper allow them to play in the yard until dark, and give them a special bed-time treat either of fruit, ice cream, a cold glass of some kind of fruitage, or any delicacy easily prepared. Babies are better if underdressed than overdressed in hot weather. If a band of flannel is kept around the bowels there is little danger from chills. even though the only other garment is a loose romper or bloomers and waist. Sleeve} from father's and rhother's wornout flannels, or a three- inch section cut from the leg make excellent bands as they will stretch enough to permit their being drawn up into position and no pins are re- quired to hold them.

Another incident which occurred in England and gave rise to a popular expression relates to the Wurller of the Tower of London during the time of the Pmntagenets. He had what the citizens of London considered an exaggerated belief in his own prer- ogative, and they took offence when he claimed the right of truprin: fish for his own benefit outside the frai- tora' Gate. He placed in the river a basket or "kiddie" commonly used " that time, but the people, thinking he had no right to do so. systematical- ly made raids on his kiddies and de- stroyed them. When he found the damage done to his preserves. he would exclaim. "A pretty kiddie of fish, indeed'." It is easy to see how "kiddie" would become "kettle" when the old style fUhine basket went out of vogue and how the original mean- ing clung to the expression, " pretty kettle of Oh."'

Another Englishman who has Gurn. vived in a popular term is Richard Turner, whose convictions on prohi- bition were so strong that even his hnbit of stuttering did not restrain h/an from lecturing on it in public.
