Ice Cream Hint.

How many housekeepers ever think
Of utilizing melted ice cream? Instead
eof throwing away the small left over
portions that remain in freezer or
mold, this melted cream should be
Incorporated in cake, cookies, or some
small dessert. For the latter little
gelatin should be added, varying, of
course, with the result desired, Melt
ed chocolate ice cream into which
chopped marshmallows have been
stirred, and a little melted gelatin
added, makes delicious combination.
Chopped fruits. as bananas, figs, and
dates, also give pleasing variety.
When using melted ice cream for cake
leave out the milk called for in the
recipe and use less butter and sugar.
Judgment must be used in combining
quantities as no general rule can be
given. The favor of the cake must
be considered and thegeice cream fla
Vor must harmonic with 1t.

To anyone who Is interested in
home building and who goes about
with eyes open to what is going on in
the building world. 1t Is very plainly
evident that we are building very
much better today In America than at
any former time Not only in our de-
signs is better taste being used, but
we are building more substantially
and are equipping our homes with all
modern conveniences to make them
comfortable. sanitary and labor-sav-
ing.
It used to be said that there was no
such thing as an American style Of
architecture, and looking at some of
our residence sections which were
built up, say 80 years ago, we are in
clined to agree that at that time there
was no American domestic architec-
ture worthy OF the name. The styles
OF our houses were borrowed from
every quarter OF the globe; very often
the same structure containing borrow
1ngs from a dozen different lands and
foreign chimes. Over our land has
been scattered great conglomeration
of Queen Anne cottages, Swiss chalets
Italian villas, Indian bungalows, and
more recently art nouveau creations
A few Of these have been at peace
with their environment and look to be
In their natural, appropriate setting;
but most of them seem very much oul
OF place.
However, in the houses that we see
going up today there is directness
of design and a sincerity Of treatment
