COOL DELICAClES.
Ices that Can Be Made by Any Good
Housewife.

How to make really very nice ice
cream should be one of the accomplish
ments of every good housewife. As a
rule this cannot be bought, because
people are not willing to pay the high
price charged by frst-class caterers,
and it really is not very much trouble,
| if one knows how, to make delicious
cream that is worthy of putting on the
dinner table. A plate of ordinary ice
cream such as we get at any restaura-
teur's is very nice in it's way, but is
not what one expects from a nice
family table. Strawberry cream, if
made properly, is great delicacy.

at the bottom until we'll heated. but it
must not boil. Take from the fire, set
it on the table, then Immediately add

two minutes. Add half pint of we'll
picked and clean strawberries. Mix
well with the spatula for two minutes,
then strain through a fine sieve into
the freezer, pressing the strawberries

with six egg-yolks, then mix well with
a spatula for ten minutes. Add a pint

longer and pour the whole into a cop
per basin. Place it on the hot stove
and heat it thoroughly, stirring it con-
tinually, but not letting it boil. Re-
move. lay it on the table and mix in
Immediately one pint of sweet cream;
then leave it to cool for thirty minutes.
Have six ripe. fine, sound peaches,
wipe them nicely, cut them in two, re-
move the stones, then mash into the
cream, mixing thoroughly for three
minutes. Strain through a fine sieve
into freezer, pressing the peaches
through with a wooden spoon; then
proceed to freeze.

most delicious, and it can be made
nearly all the year around, as good
pineapple can most always be gotten
in market. Cut small, ripe pine
apple in two. Nearly all of the pine
apples are fine for this purpose except
ing the Porto Rico pines. Pare aud
peal onc-half neatly, then cut it into
small pieces. Place these pieces in the
mortar and pound them thoroughly to
pulp. Ten minutes will suffice for
this. Add half a pound of powdered
sugar and pound again for ten min
utes. Transfer the whole into vessel.

lemons, then pour in a quart of cold
water and mix well with spatula for
two minutes. Strain through Il fine
sieve into the freezer. adding two egg
whites beaten to stiff froth, then beat

the lid and freeze.
The housewife will find these ice
creams and ices easily made, but they
should always be made by her, be-
cause servants, no matter how good,
are not likely to measure exactly, which
must be done if the result is to be a
success.
The most important thing to have
right in the household is the milk, and
the housewife should give to the milk
pitcher her attention.
