AT recent dinner the ices were
served in natural fruit skins. A plated
basket of spun sugar was piled with or
anges, apples, lemons, bananas, and
luscious California pears. This was
handed round, and guests took the fruit
with their fingers. Apparently each
piece was intact, but short scrutiny
disclosed a slight abrasion, into which
the fork thrust showed the contents to
be Ice cream. The fruit is first frozen,
then one end removed, the contents
scooped out, and the intsr1or packed
with cream, the piece restored, and the
whole refrozen. In this way the natur-
al effect is perfectly retained, the pro-
cess being brilliant addition to the
