An Ibilious Ice--Cream

And you need not go into bankruptcy either merely because the big hotels are getting what little cream there is to be had and you can get none. They don't even get enough for coffee, after all. Some restaurant keepers buy the milk, skim it for the cream and trust to selling off the skimmed milk or part of it, so as to get their pure cream for freezing not soured and mouldy as country gathered cream often is, but that plan is not practicable for ice--cream for thousands at a resort. Besides, who wants cream? you see these resorts getting more crowded every year and more hotels and larger ones being built, and that shows that the people find it pleasant living at them, but they wouldn't if they had the blues and felt tired and drowsy all the time as they would be if they were made bilious and dyspeptic with double cream and sugar. There is nothing so bad for the health and spirits as real buttery cream taken at the end of a full meal. Let the country people who have nothing to do but sleep eat the cream, but you give the resorters light refreshment and if your wares are well made they will come again after they have walked and danced and rolled ten pins.
