ORIGIN OF ICE CREAM.
DeIicacy Not Known Until the 6eqIn. ming of the Seventeenth Century.

From the Chicago Chronicle
 The most delectable and toothsome of confections known as ice cream dates Its origin to a period less than three centuries distant. It was not when first placed before the consumer, the delicious compound 1t now is. It has been brought to it's present state of perfection by gradual process of evolution from the original idea. In the beginning of the seventeenth cen tury iced fruits and cups made of ice first appeared at banquets. Like many other good things for the table, ice cream claims Paris for its birthplace, and yet it Is not a Frenchman, but an Italian named Precope Couteaux who first thought out the idea of icing lemonade and liquors. From this was gradually evolved over 100 years later ice cream or iced butter, as 1t was then called, from its resemblance to that article of food.
 While all civilized nations serve ices in great variety, we are apt to think of ice cream as an essentially Ameri- can dish, probable because frozen des- serts of all kinds are more generally used in this country than in any other. Ice cream first made its appearance in America in Philadelphia at the end of the eighteenth century. It was then considered a great luxury, and conse- quently was rarely seen except on state occasions. It was not within the reach of ordinary people until 1900, when an Italian confectioner es- tablished an ice cream house, as it was then called, at Germantown, a suburb of Philadelphia
