ICE CREAM in FAR. EAST.
American DeIicacy Finds Its Way to
odd Corners Of Earth.

odd Corners Of Earth.
American ice cream is making
place for itself in the Far East, by
means Of the ocean steamship service.
The people of China, Japan, Australia,
even Of the Samoan Islands, have tast-
ed the delicacy, though the dusky Sa-
moan has yet to enjoy an ice-cream
soda.
All the large steamship lines regard
ice cream as a necessary item of
ships supply, not merely for passen-
gers onout going vessels, but to supply
the vessels operated in various SER
vices in Eastern waters. In addition,
the ships, as they leave this port, car
ry enough of the article to provide
supply for the return trip. Last year
alone the vessels of one line, the
North German Lloyd, used about 1OO,-
900 bricks of cream on their tables, to
say nothing Of the large quantities
that were transferred to steamships
of lines operating in the Far East

After a while he gathered himself

their father? Her people had written

had been loath to part BY and by he
