OUR INCOMPATIBLE ICE CREAM.
Europeans strive to Initiate IL, but Their
Efforts Have Been Vain.


Ice cream Is pre- eminently an Ameri-

ger steamers plying between this port
and Europe take aboard i'll New York
sufficient supply of Ice cream for the
VOYAGE back to New York as well aS for
the outward journey, despite the fact
that the cost of the article Is greater
here than abroad. and that 1t Is eXpen-
sive stuff to keep. The round trip occu-
piCs at least three weeks, and the cream
has to last that period, one week OF
which the ship is tied up in dock, with
the clcam eating ~ Ice i'll the refrigcr-
ator at prudigiuus rate. When the au-
tumn rush humcward sets IN and the
steamers are crowded to the limit, the
amount of ice cream thus carried fam
this port and kept at least two weeks Tor
use on the rc.uu voyage Is big item
in the provision account. Many kinds OF
provisions and supplies are cheaper III
Europe than here. and Of these the
steamers lay in dopble stock ut the Eu-
roppan ports. Ice cream, too, Is cheaper
in Europe. but it has the fatal diSad-
vantage that it is not ice cream rs the
American regards the article.
Ice has come to be less Of novelty
on the table in Europe III recent years,
mainly, dnbtleSs, because Of the insist
encc Of the thousands of Americans who
make Europe their summer playground.
Ice cream. too. YOU can get III most uf

Europeans may talk about the inimitable

Of American ice cream Is beyond them.
This is not a matter Of natural advan-

A varied and recent experience with
the ice creams Of Europe induces the
conclusion that only the 'sorbettp" one

tion of the ordinary every day ice cream

in this city tomorrow, report that
they are meeting with considerable
disappointment by several families
who at the last moment decided
they could not accommodate those
assigned to them and who they
had originally agreed to take care
of. This has occasioned no little
confusion and is greatly to be
regretted. The ARDMOREITE on
behalf of the committee trusts that
those who are thus left unprOvided

of every home in the city should
be swung open and appropriate

this will be done as soon a. the
