Try This Melon Delight.

Melon delight Is a novel and re-
freshing dessert. As in all desserts
calling for cantaloupe, only those OF
the finest flavor should be u5ed. Cut
the melons lengthwise, in halves or
thirds according to size. Remove the
seeds and spongy tissue. Fill each
with vanilla ice cream and some very
thin slices of fresh peaches. Deco
rate with two or three marachino
cherries and the liquor in which they
come before serving.
Occasionally when ice cream is
served with these melons the pulp Is
scooped out, diced and favored and
then returned to the shell with the
cream and other garnishes. The vari-
Gus flavors are in that case more like
ly to be amalgamated If one consid-
ers that desirable. Usually the fla
vors in such sweets are better for be-
ing kept distinct.

least two new recipes every week, and
when anything is specially approved

kept for the purpose.
But there is danger even in getting
a particularly good recipe. For there
is an almost Overwhelming temptation
to use it again and again until ones
family grows weary of the very sight
OF the resulting dish.
Make it a rule never to repeat a
pudding within a fortnight unless
there is some very special reason for
doing so.
