Serving Ice Cream.

Serving cream.
There are modes even in the serv-
ing OF ice cream. At present macaroon
baskets, wafer boxes and Disgusting
covering OF lady cake are among the
most popular ways OF serving this
always acceptable dessert.
To make macaroon baskets, dip the
outer edges of five almond macaroons
I'm the syrup obtained from melted
granulated sugar. The first macaroon
is used for the bottom OF the basket,
, and tho others are stuck together to
form ring about 1t, exactly like the
burr baskets we used to make when wo
were children. Fill this receptacle with
Ice cream and sprinkle ground maca-
rooms on top.
Wafer boxes are put together in ex-
actly the same way. Square waters are
the most desirable, two being used for
the bottom and one at each end. stand
ing upright The ice cream should be
cut into blocks that fit into the frame.
Pink and white Ice cream garnished
with cherries. make an. attractive color
combination
novel way to serve brick ice cream
is to cover tho sides and ends OF the
brick with thick slices OF lady cake.
Cut the cream as usual. Each slice
Will have a frame of cake, contrasting
prettily with the colors of the cream.
The Old White Dress.
There Is scarcely a wardrobe that
doesn't contain one OF those thin white
robes that were so popular q couple
of seasons ago-hopelessly out OF
fashion now. because OF the three
yards or so of bouncing gathered in
around the bottom and reaching al
| most halfway up the skirt. Some OF
the robes will be given away some
thrown away and some made over"
| There is more than one way. too. OF
| making over" The bouncing may
ho fnptl p crnn II,
and yet, somehow. one doesn't want
made-over dress from It, and ono
| can't AFFORD either TO give Ii away or
| throw 1t away. What thenT Now
| comes an opportunity for tho woman
with nimble finEers and inventive
| brain.
! One OF those dainty boudoir sacoues
| reaching n tribe below the waist limo
is readily made iron: just such tiounc-
ing rs this. Make short baby
| yoke OF two narrow pieces of the
| bouncing by bringing a piece over
each shoulder in such 4 way that they
will meet and form both back
and front the depth OF the short yoke.
y small, straight piece OF the tlounc-
! ing can be inserted across the back
| inside the v IF il s thought that tho
| V is too low. Join TO the bottom of
the yoke b. q piece OF lace insertion
| a slightly gathered rufie OF the founc-
ing OF sufficient length to reach slight
" below the waist line or to the hips.
There Will no doubt be some insertion
from the dress which can DO used for
this purpose. The sleeves. for which
armholes may BE- cut entirely In tho
yoke or partly In tho yoke and partly
in tho lower bouncing are made of
tho hourcing, ana reach to the elbow.
The scailopcd edge OF the bouncing
Will really be sufficient edge trimming.
but an edsng of val lace on tho
scalloping will add greatly to the
airy and charming effect
Perhaps you viii have three-quar
ters OF yard OF bouncing left. Be-
hold. you have the markings OF
pretty apron! Trim tho scaliops and
sides with lace edging. gather II on n
| band of beading I: half yard long, run
n ribbon Though the beading for
strings, and the apron IS complete.
