In these days no bread is served with
boullion at luncheons, and at a garden
party in the East lately, the guests drank
claret and ate loaf bread from a silver sal
yer, when zach man, English fashion,
could pull off a well done bread crust with
his well kept fingers, while the dainty fe-
male guest might, if she so willed, tear
out a handful of the soft part" of the
loaf. Others slipped cold tea and others
still spoiled two good things by pouring
iced champagne on frozep watermelon.
