There should also be a towel rack, an electric or hot-water heater for keeping food hot and we are speaking of the ideal pantry, of course a small icebox where table butter, cream and salad dressing may be kept, and plates chilled for serving cold dishes. We will not waste time on directions regarding the laying of the tablecloth. The plate doilies indicate the covers when a bare table is laid.
I knew the troubles Aunt Lucy had with her menials, and I approved of Vicky's wisdom. "And that explains the empty icebox," Mrs. Reeves was saying, nodding her head in satisfaction. "Vicky meant to go off to-day, after the house was put in order, and she didn't want a lot of food left to spoil." "Yis, mum," agreed Mrs. Flaherty. "Shall I wash thim dishes now, mum?"
And Janice Day shrank from the use of the scrubbing brush and strong soda-water. She decided that the back kitchen could not be cleaned this afternoon. She put on her bungalow apron and took the salad from the icebox where it had lain on the ice in a cheesecloth bag.
The door, after a properly prudent hesitation, clicked brokenly. Miss Francis looked as though she'd added insomnia to her other abstentions, otherwise she had not changed, even to her skirt and the smudge on her left nostril. "If youve come about the icebox youre a week late. I fixed it myself," she greeted me gruffly. "Weener," I reminded her, "Albert Weener remember?
I'm going to tell you right now, it's no fun being locked up in an icebox." "It is not," Colonel Anderson agreed dryly, stretching his feet out to the fire.

She's a newspaper woman, and the best in the world or at least the best in Seattle. She wrote that big snow-slide story for The Review last fall. She tells 'em how to raise eight babies on seven dollars a week, or how to make a full set of library furniture out of three beer kegs, a packing-case, and an epileptic icebox.
"It's no better than I live in myself," he added. He whistled at the dismal livingroom and raised his eyebrows at the kitchen. Before I could mutter an introduction, Miss Francis growled without turning around, "If youve come about the icebox " "Zounds!" exclaimed Gootes. "A female Linnaeus. Shades of Dorothy Dix!"
Then happily he added, "I'd call you a case of shell-shock." She rewarded that with a washed-out smile. "What's the treatment going to be?" she asked. "Why," he said, "as soon as I'm done tucking you up properly in this eiderdown quilt, I'm going out to your icebox and try to find the makings of an egg-nog. Incidentally, I shall scramble up all the rest of the eggs I find and eat them myself.
"Don't fry or roast it, but broil it. An inch and a half is the proper thickness, just enough to hold the heart of it ripe with juice. See it ooze from that cut! Can you beat it?" "Not with anything I have had along the Arctic," confessed Philip. "A steak from the cheek of a cow walrus is about the best thing you find up in the 'Big Icebox' that is, at first.
The waiter liked nothing better than advising travelers less sophisticated than himself. He told Thea there were a few roses left in the icebox and he would get one. He took the flower and the coffee into the day-coach. Thea pointed out the girl, but she did not accompany him. She hated thanks and never received them gracefully.
