Cold Box Is Convenient
Forecasting the weather has long
been an Interesting study. Organised
scientific effort to unfold lta mys­
teries date back to 1054, when a corps
of meteorological observers was ap­
pointed under the auspices of Grand
Duke Ferdinand II of Tuscany. One
of the moat Interesting facta about
this pioneer enterprise Is that the par­
ticipants (mostly Jesuit priests), who
kept up weather observations on a
more or less uniform plan for 13 years,
were not confined to Tuscany, nor
even to Italy. Unsucceaaful efforts
were made to obtain observations from
Java, Labrador and Iceland. Instruc­
tions wore drawn up In Latin for the
guidance of the observers, who were
well supplied with Instruments of uni­
form pattern. Lastly, the records for
this far-flong system of weather sta­
tions down to the year 1702 were pub­
lished In 12 quarto volumes, copies
of which are now among the rare
treasures of meteorological libraries.

“ You know," said Peter Gnome, “ I
haven't had • meeting of the Gnomes’
club of late. And In case there are
any new ones here among ns who
haven't Joined, let me explain the
rules and the regulations of the club.
“It Is called T h e Every-Day-Is-Nlce
dub.’ That means that all our mem­
bers promise not to complain about
the weather but to enjoy every day
as It comes.
“ We make the most of every kind
of a day, and we find, after becom­
ing good and faithful members of the
dub, that we are much happier all
the time.
“ We like all kinds of weather and
most assuredly we have all kinds.”
“ We do. Indeed,” said Billie Brownie.
“ We enjoy the snow, the rain, the sun­
shine, the windy and the quiet days.
“ We have parties on all sorts of
days, o f all sorts and varieties.
“ It has made us think of a great
many more games and trips.”
All the ones who did not already
belong Joined the club and were given
the badges the members wore with
the motto of the dub on every badge.
“ Now,” said Peter Gnome, “to show
that we are true members, we must
have a party today.”
“ We have always loved this sort
of a day,” said the brownies and
gnomes.
“ Yes, I remember years ago," said
Peter Gnome, “ that Billie Brownie
was the first one to give a slush party.
For that Is what we are going to have
today. It’s glorious I Fine!”
“ What Is a slush party?” asked the
new members.
“ Ah, there are many kinds of slnsh
parties,” said Peter Gnome. “ Just wait
and see.
“ We'll have one this attemoon.
“ In the meantime every one must
go and take out his high rubber boots
and his rubber su it”
It was not long before all the brown­
ies and gnomes appeared In rubber
suits and rubber boots.
They looked somewhat like firemen,
«xcept the brownies looked fatter than
ever, and they kept falling down all
the time.
They could never have run up lad­
ders, b jt then they didn't have any.
They were brownies and not firemen,
even If their suits did look a little bit
alike.
“Let's build a fine slush castle,”
suggested Billie Brownie. They all set
to work at once.
Out of the wet snow they made the
most wonderful of castles. The snow
“Yes,” said Peter Gnome, “ as long
as we have the right things to wear
no weather can upset us."
But Mr. Sun, who had been nap­
ping, heard, up In the sky, that the
gnomes and brownies were up to
something.
So be came out and began shining
brightly and the Blush party became
slushier than ever.
It was glorious fun I

They made turrets and towers,

tScotch Shortbread:
for Dessert
|„M..|'lM ,,H "l'i"li I '
Justly famed for Its dellclons flavor,
Scotch shortbread Is often Imported
to serve with afternoon tea or bever­
ages of any sort or with fruit for des­
sert. In the present state of the but­
ter market, which Is at its lowest price
level In several years. It will pay the
housewife to make some shortbread
herself for home consumption. If
carefully stored In a moderately cool
place and In a tight container It will
keep crisp and good-flavored for sev­
eral weeks. The recipe Is from the
bureau of home economics of the Unit­
ed States Department of Agriculture.
1H cups sifted flour H cup sugar
1 cup butter
14 tsp. salt
Sift the flour, salt, and sugar on a
bread board. Break the butter Into
small pieces and work Into the dry
Ingredients by pressing with the palm
of the hand and the wrist, until there
is a smooth even mixture. Make the
dough Into a ball and roll out about
three-fourths of an Inch thick. Prick
well with a fork, and place In a pan
with high sides to prevent the short­
bread from browning too quickly
around the edges. Bake In a very
moderate oven, at a temperature be­
tween 273 degrees F. or 300 degrees F.,
for 35 minutes, or until a pale amber
tint Allow shortbread to stand an
hour or two before serving so that It
becomes crisp and thoroughly set
Then break It Into small pieces and
serve.
