This was hoop suspended above the table, upon which hung chaplets of flowers to adorn the head of each guest. and often as well choice gifts of jewels A circle of some of the beautiful flower favors de- pending from the chandelier, to be served later to the seated guests, would add a unique and pleasing detail to the deco rative scheme of the feast and should be attempted by some fin de siecle hostess IN.

 Banana Salad-On hot days this is a pleasant variation from ordinary des- serts Just before dinner peal half a dozen bananas and slice into 8 high glass dish, alternating each layer of the banana with one of pulled, not sliced, pineapple. If the fresh fruit is not ob- tainable the canned (grated) will an swer. Then mix together the strained juice of three oranges and two lemons, sweeten to taste, and pour over the mounded fruit Surmount the latter with crimson cap of hulled straw berries, and set on ice till ready to serve. With this should be served macaroons, lady's-fngers or blocks of cake which have been dipped in fon- dant.
