Of cleanliness There IS no butter dSh

either an embroidered centreWece' OF
one formed OF "a mirror. ON this may
stand "a tall. slender glass holding
bunch Of sweet peas. or single rose.

ONLY -FOUR COURSES.
As the weather is hot. there is no soup;
as the hostess IS economical, there are
only four courses, the CLAIMS counting
as the first Then comes the roast lamb
carefully cooked. and with the kidney at

81 dish OF peas and one OF new potd-

appears the asparagus. cold. and TO be
eaten either with "a French dressing or

over them. making a sort OF strawberry
soufiic. one is offered tiny. thin cakes on
pretty platter, aud there is another Of
odd Chinese nuts. while upon a square
plate rests a box OF either prunes or
dates
After the maid has arranged dessert
she draws up at one side Of the hostess a
small table on which is the teakcttle n
French coffee pot. and all the cups and
saucers. and the housewife. as she makes
the coffee, has an opportunity 81 showing
her white hands. her beautiful rings. and
her ability . making that most delicious

appetizing table, there SIS a iuE of good
