Up to Date.

“It’s a real joy after all—this up-to-date apartment-house living,” said the bride of a year or two to the friend who was paying a duty call. “The sherbet you’re eating is a month old.” The visitor unconsciously delayed an ascending spoonful. “Don’t be worried,” smiled the bride, “the ice is all right. I’ve kept them longer than that. You see, my last afternoon ‘at-hbme’ came on a rafny day, and I had a distressing number of ices left over. Now, if that had happened in a house witty only an ice-chest, all of the refreshments would have gone to waste. The caterdf wouldn’t- have taken’ any of them back. But, you see, every apartment in this house has a refrigerating plant. You can keep things to eat as Inng as a cold storage warehouse. It’s very nice.’’ “Yes, it is,” said the bride’s caller. “It’s very nice sherbet, indeed.”
