She didn't have money enough

CHILLED DESSERTS

Ice cream and ices are we'll
known frozen Desserts but
the distinction between 9TH
ers is not always easily
made.
A frappe is a water ice
frozen soft, about the consist
eney of mush; 1t should be
served in sherbet glasses.
A parfait is a rich Ice
cream frozen without stir
ring.
Sundaes are ice creams
with sirups poured over them.
A mousse contains gela-
tine; 1t is frozen without
stirring.
Punches contain crushed
fruits, lemon, ginger, pine
apple, and are strained.
Mulled drinks contain
spices and eggs.
Tutti frutti creams and
ices contain a mixture of
fruits; the proportion is one
pint OF Juice or fruit to one
quart of cream or water.
Sorbets or sherbets are
drinks of fruit Juices sweet
ened, diluted and chilled; the
proportion OF water 20 fruit
Juice is smaller in sherbets
than in water fees, and the
juices are varied at conven-
fence. Two cups of water,
two cups OF sugar, one cup
Of fruit Juice Is the average
proportion.

The only way to get to the
cemetery, or direct way I'll say, is
by that route, and it would, IL
seems, be only matter of com
mon decency to at least have a
paved road over which our dead
citizens must be transported, and
most all citizens of Tacoma know
how the road to the cemetery is
in winter. SO why don't the men

thing at the right time?

plume clean. Put in the sun to
