When busy man opens letter and finds
stamp pasted tightly to the sheet he is
excused if he happens to think something un-
becoming to q gentleman. The letter is
often unanswered, the stamp wasted, or the

and applying paste to hold it on the envelope

TT you have ever eaten combination Of ice
cream which has q centre Of sherbet you
90 have probably noticed how, the moment
YOU take a mouthful OF the sherbet it seems
twice as cold to your mouth, how it will seek
out the sensitive spots in your teeth and
make you jump. Sherbet is really much
colder than ice cream.
But why? 1t takes more cold to freeze
sherbet than it does ice cream-indecd, it
requires less. The water is not any colder
than the cream to begin with; generally it
Is not az cold, for the cream has been put
in the refrigerator to keep it sweet. Yet
there is not the shadow of doubt as to which
is the colder. although opinions are divided
on the question as to which is the most
toothsome.
The reason is that ice cream is not really
frozen at all; that is, the cream itself is not.
Cream, as is well known is that part OF milk
which Casually after standing or by special
separator processes) has become partly
separated from the rest of the milk because
il contains a large proportion Of globules OF
fat and therefore is lighter. There are sew
eral other constituents OF milk, for it is
highly complicated product, but TO all intents
and purposes it may be said that cream is
principally the butter fat of milk in the form
OF gobules OF fair size suspended in an al
most clear fluid. These fat globules are pro-
tccted from the action OF the serum by the
casing which makes them globules, and it is
this which keeps the fat within from any
injury from the serum. Sweet butter as is
we'll known, is made from sour cream but the
acidity is not in the globules of butter fat
but in the liquid in which they are sus-
pended
In exactly the same way. ice cream-when
it is made of cream, which is not always the
case-docs not reach the same pitch of cold
as sherbet, for the casing of the globules
and the natural character of fat renders 1t
less susceptible to frost. 1t takes many de-
grees more cold to freeze fat than it does
any of the materials that go into the making
of shcrbet. Ice cream, made OF pure cream,
