she found the Strawberries and cream

when she put the dish before George

So, after the ice cream was eaten
daddy began his story.
81 read that away back In the old
Babylonian days-oh, so many, many
years ago.. that we could scarcely
count them-in fact l don't think we
could count them all up this evening
at any rate-they used to make frozen
desserts by putting a mixture of goats
milk and fruit and honey into q great
bowl made out of copper.
"Then they would put the bowl into
a kind Of clay cavern until their des-
sert was frozen. Ever since that day
frozen desserts have been popular. In
the days of the Egyptians there were
frozen desserts, and In France, a good
many years ago, they made what Is
known as frappe. They were the first
to make frappe, I believe.
