the refrigerator. Mixtures should be
frozen but never into solid block.
Grapefruit Ice.-Make a sherbet
with canned grapefruit juice. Put the
fruit in the bottom of tall glass.
Cover with sherbet and garnish with
grapefruit sections and cherry.
Fruit Fancies.-Place slices of pine
apple on rounds of sponge cake. Top
with cream fluff made as follows: Add
the juice of one lemon to the grated
rind Of one lemon and two teaspoon
fuls Of sugar. Stir occasionally and let
stand in the refrigerator for about
three hours. Whip some cream, add
shredded coconut to taste and the
chilled lemon sirup.
Strained Fruit.
Strained fruit, such as apricot, ap-
plesauce or prune, obtainable in glass
and can. If sweetened makes a nice
spread for cake and may be the basis
of a Bavarian cream or the flavor OF
a mousse. If you haven't time to make
frostlng for a simple cake, this is fine
for the purpose.
Fruit fritters make good dessert
or if made with meat or vegetables are
good as a main dish in the luncheon
or supper menu. 1t is also one of the
easiest methods of utilizing small
quantities of leftover food. Not only
is it possible to combine left-overs
that are too small in quantity to be
served separately into perfectly good
dish, but the fritter batter acts as an
nvfa ~ in, fn
make the dish more attractive both
in appearance and in flavor.
Lovely Apple Jelly-When making
jelly the time of cooking may be short
ened by using hot fruit juices and you
will have more perfect jelly. A true
test for congealing is when you hold
silver fork up by the tip of the ham
die and the juice remains in the tines.
Remove the jelly from the fire at once.
Apple jelly made from the new green
apples now on the market tastes deli
cious. but sometimes is too pale for
beauty. The addition of some cherry
sirup, such as may be bought in drug
stores (the sort used to color drinks,
adds greatly to the appearance of the
jelly Use to suit individual taste;
however, a light pink is an attractive
color for this sort of jelly. The sirup
does not affect the flavor of the jelly
nor does it keep it from jellying.
Marshmallow Ice Cream-Heat one
cupful of milk in double boiler Cut
six marshmallows and dissolve them in
the milk; chill. Whip half a pint of
whipping cream and fold 1t in the
marshmallow mixture. Freeze.
Frozen Fruits.-Turn canned fruit
out of the can into a freezing tray.
Freeze and serve in sherbet glasses
topped with favored and sweetened
whipped cream. The length Of time
required for freezing will depend upon
the sweetness of the fruit.
Beverages.
Make a supply of sugar sirup by
boiling four cupfuls of sugar and four
cupfuls of water together for 10 min
utes. Seal in hot, clean jars, cool and
keep in the refrigerator. Add to fruit
juices and water or ginger ale for re-
freshing Summer drinks.
How 10 Make Tea.-Use one level
teaspoonful Of tea for every cupful
desired. Scald out the teapot with
boiling water; add freshly boiling wa
ter to the tea and allow it to steep
about five minutes. II the tea Is going
to stand longer than this it should be
poured OF the leaves into another
heated pot or 1t will be bitter. Stir
the tea with a spoon before pouring.
Another Way.-Place the tea leaves
in the top Of a coffee percolator and
let the water perk over the leaves
about 10 times. The leaf container can
then be removed and the tea will not
get stronger as it does when allowed
to stand on the leaves. Tea can easily
be reheated In this way.
Iced Tea.-Steep six heaping tea
spoonfuls Of black tea in one pint
Of freshly boiled water for minutes.

sugar is dissolved. Add one and one
half quarts Of cold water. Do not let
the tea cool before adding the cold
water, or the liquid will become
cloudy. Serve in tall glasses with
Clipped ice or cubes. Add a slice of
lemon If desired.
Orange Freeze.-Use the strained
