ICE CREAM
DESSERTS
BY Hannah Wing

Many ice cream combinations
found at the soda fountain or ice
cream parlor may be duplicated
at home with results equally as
satisfactory, or the necessary in
gradients lend themselves to pre-
vious preparation, and the uniting
of them at the table adds an ele.
ment of interest and surprise to
the end of simple summer meals.
The following instances, are ex-
cellent suggestions:
Caramel Ice Cream Sandwich
This is made by putting vanilla
ice cream between and on top Of
two oblong pieces of a thin sheet
OF sponge cake and covering with
a generous quantity of rich,
smooth caramel sauce and
sprlnkling of toasted almonds.
Cream car amel sauce to meet

sugar one-quarter cupful of gran

corn syrup over the fire. Stir
until 1t starts to boil, then cook
to 241 degrees of a firm soft
ball without stirring. Cool slightly
and stir in one cupful of thin
cream
This sauce may also be used
over ice cream in the form of a
sundae and with an egg lettuce
sandwich of coarse bread makes
popular MONDAY luncheon.
Another favorite sundae for a
luncheon combination is:

The sauce is prepared by stir

It seems that more and more
attention is being paid to styling
for the woman who is beyond
average weight. The shops are
making a sincere effort to offer
the newest styles so designed as
to produce slenderizing effect.
One store official made a trip
to Paris for the sole purpose OF
obtaining new models designed
especially for the plump figure.
and he did bring back some very
clever models.
OF all offered, think the one
/ am illustrating today, is best.
At a glance, the slenderizing
effect Is apparent.
It's chic! A copy of Paris

surprisingly small outlay.
The intricate dia gonal lines at
front are what break the width to
give the figure length. The back
speaks too for itself with seam
ings the latest trimming note OF
Paris. and most slenderiZing ii
the seams are vertical.
The seams at back reach to waist
line with inverted plaits below
forming a center.boxplait or panel.
These inverted plaits add extra
fulness and combine with cluster
plaits at front OF skirt to give
gracious flare when wearer moves,
otherwise hang slim and straight.
The plaits at front are stitched
part way to keep hips slender.
Inset pockets with flaps are placed
diagonally.
The surplice closing bodice with
vestee also shows diagonal treat.

An old idea that has gone by

shampooing the hair frequently is
harmful to the growth. The hair
should be washed every week, and
Ii will be the better for 1t. A
bland. neutral soap should be used
and it should be melted. 1t is more
effective if it stands a day or two.
A good system is to have a quart
glass jar for the shampoo medium.

EXPERTS

A new use for motion pictures
as psychological detective"
has been perfected at the instt.
tute of psychology of the Uni.
versity of Berlin, Germany. The
object Is to record and study the
behavior Of mental patients who.
do not know that they are being
watched. In making a diagnosis
of mental disorders. especially of
mild nervous disturbances not to
be classed as real insanity. the
specialist often finds 1t necessary
to discover how a patient viii
act when he believes himself
alone. The experimenters leave
the person alone in a room and
photograph the patient through
the concealed lens of a noiselcss
motion-picture camera. The de.
vice may be used also to study
the psychological reaction of nor
NAL people when off guard.

OF Lewis as expressed in the

Our ancestors roamed the for.

Meeting a bear face to face IS
the most thrilling thing that can
happen to a visitor here. If a
dozen people were watching the
falls and bear came along
they would forget all about the
falls and watch the bear every
time. They might watch Yose-

watch the bear as long as it
