Ice Cream Cone Was Invented At St. Louis Fair Sixty Years Ago Washington ? On a sizzling summer day at the St. Louis World's Fair, an Ice-cream vendor facetTa crisis?no more serving dishes. E. M.

The portable, eatable combination was an ln stant success at the 1904fur? and elsewhere. shipment of snow arrived In a state of slush on u blistering summer day, Nero peevishly executed the general In charge. Some three centuries ago, Charles I of England Introduced to his subjects a dessert made of frozen milk and cream at state banquets. It was so suc cessful that the King command ed his French chef to keep the recipe a roval secret and gave him a handsome yearly pension. But by the time Charles was beheaded by political opponents In 1649, his secret was out, and every nobleman was ser ving Ice cream. WHITE HOUSE SPECIALTY George Washington loved Ice cream. In the summer of 1790, Washington bought more than $200 worth from a shop In New York, then the federal capital. There were two pewter "Ice cream pots" at Mount Vernon. Today, 60 summerslater, the Ice-cream cone continues to reign supreme as American's favorite best treat. TWO SCOOPS OF PUMPKIN Americans lick away more than four billion servings of Ice cream In cones each year, the National Geographic Society says. More than half are con sumed during the hot summer months. Once restricted to va nilla, chocolate, and straw berry, Ice-cream cones nowa days offer some 200 flavors ranging from bubble gum and blueberry cheesecake to pump kin, licorice, sunflower seed, raisin, rhubarb, and root beer.

Invention of the hand-crank sd freezer and later wholesale production methods swiftly took Ice cream from the salons of :he wealthy to the workman's :able. A New York newspaper wrote In July, 1851, "When the teat drops down like a burn ,ng pall, when the sky Is as prass above and the ocean preeze sinks fainting on Man lattan's edge, New York?es pecially panting, gasping, rwelterlng business New York? ihrows Itself like a thirsting lion upon the ice-cream freez ar."
