While the suns in the sky.

How dear to my heart are the pants
of my childhood,
When fond recollection presents them
to view,
The pants that I wore in the deep
tangled wildwood,
And likewise the groves where the
crab apple grew.
The wide-spreading seat with the
little square patches,
The pockets that bulged with my
luncheon for noon,
And also with marbles and fishworms
and matches,
And gum-drops and kite strings from
March until June;
The little patched trousers, the made
OfSI
The high-water trousers that fit me
too soon.
No pantaloons ever performed
greater service
In filling the hearts of us youngsters
with joy;
They made their descent from Adolf
plus to Jervis,
Right down through family of ten
little boys.
Through no fault f my own known
to me or to others
I'm the tenderest branch on our big
family tree,
With all the rude patchwork invented
by mothers,
They came down to me slightly bag
ged at the knee;
The little patched trousers, the sec
ond-hand trousers,
The old family trousers that bagged
at the knee.

MARRIAGE OF MISS ROYAL

The marriage on yesterday of Miss
Virginia Royal and Mr.. William H.
Siegler, while not unexpected at all,
carried with it tinge of romance and
was of interest to the many Americas
friends of the beautiful young wo-
man who thus goes forth bride. The
engagement had been announced and
the wedding was to have been solemn
lied at an early date.
Shortly before noon Miss Royal
and Mr.. Siegler left her home for "a
walk which took them past the resi-
dence of DR.. j. A. Thomas, pastor of
the First Methodist church.
Imbued by sudden inspiration, the
young couple decided to enter the
home and have the wedding ceremony
at once, instead of a month hence To
think was to act and within a few
moments, Miss Royal was the blushing
bride of Mr.. Siegler and en- route home
to tell the story.
During "a residence of six months in
Americas Miss Royal had made host
of admiring friends, whose congratu-

happy couple to their home in Savan-

ICE CREAM DESSERTS.

Requisites for making ice cream des-
serts are a good freezer, ice and coarse
salt. Many of the improved freezers
reduce the work of cream making to a.
minimum. and there is much satisfac-
ton in the purity, richness and diver
sity of flavors found in the homemade
article, says a writer for the Modern
Priscilla.
True ice cream contains only pure
cream, flavoring and sugar: but the in
creasing cost of heavy or double cream
often makes 1t necessary to add eggs
or gelatin to give body and richness
Again, thin custard mixture is made
and frozen, or the milk Is scalded and
the cream added after it has cooled.
All these variations have different
names. Plain rich cream is called Phila-
delphia ice cream. Custard cream is
made with yolks and whites of eggs
beaten separately until light, and ook-
ed with rich milk and sugar, in a dou-
BILE boiler. until the mixture coats a
spoon. When this has cooled cream is
soften added to thin it and give rich
ness.
After cream is frozen the dasher
should be removed and the mixture
scraped down from the sides of the
freezer can and packed, and then again
covered with ice and salt and allowed
to stand an hour before 1t is served.
This Is called ripening, and it allows
the flavor of the cream to mellow and
improves any frozen cream dessert.
When ice cream mixtures are to con-
tain fruit, d., not add it at the COM
mencement o. freezing, but when the
cream is almost solid open the can, re-
move the dasher and Scrape the cream
from it and the sides of the can. Add
the fruit now, mix it well and then
continue the freezing. If the cream
and fruit mixture is to be nodded, re-
move the cream from the can when
half frozen, add the fresh fruit and
pack into molds.
The finer you crush the ice you use
for the freezer, the more quickly will
it freeze. The best way to crush it is
to place the ice in burlap bag and
pound it with q mallet until it is in
small pieces.
Use one quart of rock salt in three
quarts of ice; table salt will not do
After the cream mixture is made, put
it in the freezer can, but do not fill
more than two-thirds full. as it swells
in freezing. Put the can in the freezer
and fill with alternate layers of ice and
salt. Remove the cover of the can and
put In the dasher. replace cover and
clamp on the handle. Turn slowly at
first and increase the motion as the
freezing progresses.

such an established fact as far back
as one can remember that it is diff
cult to get used to the idea of being
without them. All American styles
have up to the present been founded
on the French. but modified and
adapted to meet requirements. so That
they have really only been American
lied Now, however. they will be dis
tinctly American. and there certainly
need be no question as to their worth
