or as elaborate as the hostess desires.
Here is a suggestion, however, for the
menu. Raw oysters first-that goes

are suitable. and not too heavy-these

dish, ready prepared, and after being
quickly reheate served On pretty patti

enough, but a little too much so in he

other, has learned a lesson she will no
