INSIDE" INFORMATION,

Refreshing ices for summer des-
serts can be made from almost any
fruit juice, sweetened to taste and
favored with a little lemon If the
juice lacks acidity. White OF egg
may be added when the ice is partly
frozen.
One of the easiest emergency des-
serts for COMPANY menu in sum-
mer is shortcake, made with any
fresh fruit, whipped cream, and
either sponge cake or biscuit dough.
Peaches, raspberries and bananas all
make good shortcakes.
o.
When binding the neck of dress,
use double dias fold about three
fourths of an inch wide when folded.
Place the raw edge along the neck
edge of the garment with the bind
ing lying on the right side. Stitch
about a quarter inch from the edge.
Turn the binding over and haste
down, without turning in the folded
ledge. Stitch again on the right
side, close. to the first stitching.
This catches the binding at the back
and makes neat, firm finish.
Chewing gum is hard to remove
from clothing, and sometimes leaves
la stain. Chewing gum usually con-
Itains gum known as chicle, which
has been boiled doYn, favored and
lsweetened. Resins of various kinds
are sometimes used. A gum stain
can often be softened with egg white
tand then washed. Prolonged treat
|ment with carbon tetrachloride is
also satisfactory, as a rule. although
it may be necessary to remove traces
of sugar by sponging with water at
intervals.
