We have made a handsome little book that is a veritable encyclopedia about all frozen delicacies. It tells just how to make the most delicious Frozen Creams, Sherbets, Ices, Fruits, etc. It is written by Mrs. D. A. Lincoln (Author “Boston Cook Book”), and every recipe is tried and true, practical, perfect and easy.
Because this book says a few words about the world-renowned White Mountain Freezers, we send it absolutely free by postpaid mail. A postal-card request will bring you one if you send to-day, and mention THE LADIES’ HOME JOURNAL in writing. Address,
