Gelatin  in  Ice  Cream;  Easy  Frosting 
I  saw  a  request  for  experience  with  ice 
cream  made  with  gelatin.  I  make  it  very 
often,  as  the  family  is  very  fond  of  it,  ami 
I  find  it  easier  to  make  than  almost  any 
other  dessert.  It  is,  of  course,  not  so 
nourishing  as  cream  made  with  eggs  and 
cream,  but  it  is  equally  delicious,  and  at 
the  end  of  a  hearty  meal  is  sufficiently 
filling. 
For  a  quart  of  milk  I  use  1V4  cups 
sugar  and  a  pinch  of  salt  as  the  foundation 
for  any  cream.  Heat  one-half  cup  milk 
ad  soak  one-half  package  or  three  round¬ 
ing  teaspoons  of  gelatin  in  a  half  cup  of 
cold  milk  for  five  minutes.  Add  hot  milk 
and  stir  until  dissolved.  Then  add  re¬ 
maining  milk,  sugar  and  salt. 
1.  Vanilla  Ice  Cream. — Add  to  this 
mixture  one  tablespoon  of  vanilla  extract. 
2.  Chocolate  Ice  Cream. — Add  one-half 
tablespoon  vanilla  and  oue-eightli  cup  of 
cocoa.  Cocoa  is  best  mixed  with  hot  milk.

one-half  lemon  and  four  bananas  put 
through  the  potato  ricer. 
4.  Peach. — Add  one  pint  can  of 
peaches  just  before  freezing.  We  like  it 
better  put  through  the  ricer.  Any  fruit 
may  be  used,  preparing  as  for  any  ice 
cream. 
I  would  like  to  add  that  by  force  of 
necessity  I  recently  discovered  a  most  de¬ 
licious  cake  frosting,  and  one  that  is  very 
quickly  and  easily  made.  One-half  con¬ 
fectioners’  sugar  and  one-half  brown 
sugar;  one  teaspoon  butter  to  every  cup 
of  sugar,  and  a  pinch  of  salt.  Add  milk 
in  very  small  quantities  until  of  the  right 
consistency  to  spread.  Add  one  teaspoon 
of  vanilla,  and  you  have  a  mixture  which 
is  soft  and  firm,  and  can  be  used  for 
either  filling  or  top.  L.  K.  G. 
French  Cookies 
One  cup  sugar,  one  cup  lard,  one  eup 
molasses,  one  cup  sour  milk  or  boiling 
water,  with  one  teaspoon  soda  dissolved 
in  it,  one  teaspoon  of  vanilla,  Hour  to 
roll.  The  molasses  and  vanilla  combine 
to  make  them  so  good.  MRS.  J.  w.  d. 
Like  any  other  genuine  work  of 
art.  this  lamp  will  GROW  in  value 
as  it  grows  older.  In  acquiring  it 
you  aro  buying  not  merely  for  today, 
but  for  your  heirs.  Like  oue  of 
Duncan  Pbyffe's  tables  or  one  of 
Chippendale's  chairs,  bought  by  our 
forefathers  for  daily  usefulness,  but 
now  hoarded  by  collectors,  one  of 
these  Bishop  Lamps,  1923  Blue  Rib¬ 
bon  Winner,  will  be  to  future  gener- 
tions  a  treasure  to  boast  of. 
The  1923  competitive  Exhibition  at 
which  Miss  Bishop's  design  was 
chosen  was  held  by  the  Art  Alliance 
of  America,  the  prizes  being  donated 
by  the  Decorative  Arts  League. 
Prizes  were  awarded  on  the  follow¬ 
ing  points: 
1 —  Beauty  of  shape  and  proportions 
of  Base  and  Shade; 
2 —  Good  taste  and  tine  relative  val¬ 
ues;  harmony  of  base  with  shade, 
including  color  relations; 
3 —  Appropriateness  and  beauty  of  or¬ 
nament  or  decoration; 
4—  Practical  utility  and  adaptability 
for  use  of  Electricity,  Gas  and 
Oil. 
The  judges  of  the  Exhibition  were: 
Mr.  Albert  W.  Heckman,  Chairman 
of  Exhibition  Committee,  Art  Al¬ 
liance  of  America; 
Mrs.  Fred  L.  Ackerman,  President, 
Decorators  Club,  N.  Y. ; 
Mr.  Richard  F.  Bach,  Metropolitan 
Museum  of  Art,  N.  Y.; 
Mr.  Iley worth  Campbell,  Art  Direc¬ 
tor  of  V ogue ; 
Mr.  Ray  Greenleaf,  Art  Director  of 
Artemus  Ward,  Inc.; 
Miss  Anna  Vaughn  Ilyatt,  Sculptress; 
Mr.  Francis  C.  Jones,  Artist; 
Miss  Maude  Mason,  Craftsman  and 
Painter; 
Mr.  John  Laird,  Jr.,  of  Decorative 
Arts  League; 
Mr.  Angus  S.  Maedouald,  of  Decora¬ 
tive  Arts  League; 
Mr.  W.  F.  Purdy.  Director,  School  of 
American  Sculpture. 
— by  250  artists  from  all  parts  of  the  United 
States  and  Canada,  submitted  for  the  1923 
Lamp  Exhibition  held  by  the  Art  Alliance 
of  America,  at  the  Art  Center  Building, 
New  York,  this,  by  Miss  Mary  Bishop 
of  Montreal,  Quebec,  was  awarded  the 
Blue  Ribbon  and  prizes  of  $600  in  cash. 
A  jury  of  eleven  eminent  sculptors,  paint- 
ers,  decorators,  craftsmen  and  critics  picked 
'.V  .ids  design  from  among  all  competitors  for  beauty  of  shape 
./  and  proportions,  good  taste,  harmony  of  colors,  delightful 
simplicity  and  practical  usefulness. 
And  this  is  the  lamp— the  Blue  Ribbon  Winner  of  1923— 
that  the  Decorative  Arts  League,  donor  of  the  $1,300  in  prizes, 
now  offers  to  you,  for  your  own  home  and  at  a  price 
actually  less  than  you  would  have  to  pay  for  the  meager  best 
in  some  dealer’s  comparatively  limited  stock,  ordered  probably 
by  lot  number  from  a  factory’s  list.  That  price  is  $8. 
It  is  made  possible  only  by  the  League  s 
plan  of  direct  co-operation  between  artist  and 
public.  ,  ,  ,  ,  . 
Instead  of  Miss  Bishop  s  beautiful  design  being 
selfishly  used  to  make  but  one  lamp  for  some  million¬ 
aire,  or  possibly  to  make  half  a  dozen  replicas  at  $200 
or  $300  each  for  the  patrons  of  some  exclusive  metro¬ 
politan  studio,  the  Decorative  Arts  League  acquired 
the  design  for  its  members  and  patrons. 
A  Rare  Opportunity 
The  League  has  accomplished  many  great  things 
since  it  was  established  in  1920.  It  has  introduced  a 
new  standard  in  art  for  the  home,  and  a  new  idea  of 
what  prices  may  be.  The  League  brought  out  the  now  famous  Fraser  Bas-Relief  of  Roosevelt. 
I  t  brought  out 'the  wondrouslv  beautiful  Muller-Popoff  Group  of  art  objects— the  Aurora  and 
Greek-Pompeian  Lamps,  the  Lincoln  Book  Ends,  etc.— and  the  exquisite  pottery  pieces  of 
But  now  to  be  able  to  offer  its  members  and  patrons  the  Blue  Ribbon  Lamp  of  the  1923 
Exhibition — an  art  jury’s  choice  from  307  designs,  running  well  above  the  average  in  beauty 
and  taste — to  be  able  to  offer  such  a  lamp  at  such  a  price  as  $8  this  is  an  achievement  that 
will,  make  art  history.  .  .  .  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  .  , 
If  you  could  have  seen  this  design  of  Miss  Bishop  s  as  it  occupied  the  pedestal  the  hon¬ 
ored  place — at  the  Exhibition  after  the  Blue  Ribbon  had  been  conferred  on  it,  and  if  you  could 
have  heard  the  praise  showered  on  it  by  visitors  to  the  gallery,  and  then  if  some  one  had  told 
you  that  you  might  have  that  very  lamp  for  your  own  home,  you  would  probably  have  thought 
it  but  an  idle  dream.  , 
But  that  is  just  exactly  what  the  League’s  plan  does  for  you.  With  Miss  Bishops  enthu¬ 
siastic  collaboration  we  have  made  working  drawings,  molds  and  patterns  that  reproduce  every 
detail  just  as  she  wanted  it.  It  is  cast  in  Medalliuni,  of  rich  statuary  bronze  finish,  which  not 
only  allows  the  artist’s  delicately  refined  contours  and  gracefully  proportioned  masses  to  be 
faithfully  preserved,  but  also  insures  their  permanency.  The  shade  is  in  tones  of  old  gold 
parchment — chosen  by  Miss  Bishop  to  carry  out  her  scheme  of  color  harmony — with  light  and 
dark  brown  stripes  towards  the  bottom  of  the  flare,  and  edges  bound  with  strips  of  dull  brass. 
The  whole  lamp  stands  16j4  inches  high  to  top  of  shade.  Equipment  for  either  Electricity,  Gas 
or  Oil  as  each  buyer  elects.
