DINNER ADVICE.
By-the-by, woman asked me to tel
| her something about successful dinners
Here is what have got to say:
A hostess who wants to make her dinner
popular, may have them rs simple as sh
likes, but there are some laws she mus
observe as strictly and with US much force
as those of the Mcdes and persians.
She must not bake what ought to b.
roasted, nor serve Il iillet in such a Condi
ton that nobody knows whether it is
gutta percha shoe or piece OF Lincrust
Walton.
she must not have the napery starchet
SO stiilly that The man with the youthful
moustacle feels that every time he paSsc
lsis napkin to his mouth he is risklng tn
destruction OF the pride of his life.
She must not count the sweets ny of tn
greatest importance, nor should she be
lieve that bad dinner can be saved by
much decorated cake, or an elaborate ice
pudding.
She must not have a servant who j
interested i'll anything except serving; Ii
should not smile at funny story, no
should he seem interested when the lutur
, Of Ireland is beng discussed.
She should see that her coffee is rs clea
as her conscience and as strong as her love
She should not attempt too elaborate
menu, Us she wishes each dish to reach tn
height OF perfection.
And when the successful dinner
achieved, she should give the cook larg
dose OF encouragcment-a medicine Alway
pleasant to take. The woman who undeI
stands the art of dinner giving is tn
! woman who is past mistress in the art {
keeping her husband at home BAB.
