A very dainty and Aovery style OF
luncheon Is the vogue for springtime
entertainments, and into it's scheme
enter all tho features, each and every
ono. of tho pretty table and it's setting
forth. This 10 known As the Dresden
luncheon.
First of all IT is imperative that the
menu be as simple and limited as good
taste will allow.
Five courses, or six. including cof-
fee, are now considered sufficient for
the most elegant and formal luncheon
party. hostess bears in mind that 1t

have brenkfasted late and whose din
ner in the evening will be more or less
elaborate and substantial.
Bouillon, game, an entree. salad.
dessert and coffee, is the accepted
menu.
With this most sensible innovation
Of simplicity care is taken that the aP-
pointments of service and table deco
ration are as light and dainty as the re-
past That they are very handsome
aud exquisite in detail does not mean
that the effect Of simplicity Is not So
cured in perfection.
The Dresden luncheon Is considered
to combine the dainty with the ele'
gant more delightfully."- than any othe.
design of artistic entertainments yo1
seen. The keynote is the blending
everywhere upon the table of the del
icate Dresden china colors, blue, pink
yellow and violet.
The fine flowers seen upon the royal
china are scattered in embroidery over
the linen centerpieoe; on this stands q

finding the equilibrium is resorted to.
The place where the skinner hangs is
again marked. The distance from zero
to two pounds Is then measured and
marked on o piece of paper. which. by
means of the divider, is divided off
into ten equal parts. and the first Of
these tenths is again divided into
tenths. When this is done the paper
is cut down to the right width and
pasted on the handle of the ladle. It
is we'll not to lay any heavier weight
than two pounds in the ladle. but this
unique scale serves for all ordinary
kitchen purposes for determining small
weights.

ladle, n sximmer, . fork and q
bottle are certainly q novel combiua-
ton for the construction of q scale
which can be made useful in q small
way. but they serve that purpose
nevertheless. The bottle is the base
of the apparatus. Two wire bands arc
driven into the cork at an equal
height. The fork is then by its handle
pressed into the bent hook of the ladlo
and the two center prongs are placed
on the brads, tho distance Of the latter
from each other depending on tho
width of the prongs. BY . horizontal
limo drawn on the wall the horizontal
position Of the scale beam is deter
mined. BY hanging the skinner on
the ladle the horizontal balance OF tho
latter is obtained after a little moving
back and forth. The spot where the
skinner then happens to hang 10
marked with ink or pencil. This is the
zero point of the scale. A two-pound
weight is placed in the cap of the
