Melon Surprise

Cut a slice across the top of the smaller melons to serve individually, or the larger ones as liked, so that this slice will form a lid. Scoop out the inside of the melons and fill with nutmeg or canteloupe ice, with wine, or any ice cream or whipped-cream mixture. If the shells are iced some time before and when filled set at once on ice, they may stand thus for some hours (lid replaced). A ribbon may be tied around the whole or knotted at the top.
