From lesson in ono Of the Pratt in
st'euto courses, reported in the New
YORK Times, tho following information
IS CLEANED: There is little difference be-
eweeh luncheon and the / or 10 O'Clock
breakfast. More hot dishes are served ut
inc breakfast and more salads and en-
trees at the luncheon. AT the latter
Douiilon is served in cups, and there are
truit salads and fruit punches Grape
iruit may form the first course, vegeta-
DIG salads take the place of vegetables
anu entrees the place of joints and
roasts. Centerpieces may be of flowers
ana ferns, fancy cakes or fruit. Like tho
dinner, the luncheon is served almost
ehtlrely BY the waitress but the hostess
may do her share if she desires. A
Iuncheon plate, or so called breakfast
piate' IS used. 1t is considered better
taste to have the silver for only two
courses placed on the table at one time,
ana there should not be moro than four
courses. A round table is always to be
preferred 1t is easier for conversation
and gives better scope for decoration.
Inc o O'Clock tea should have every
thing light and delicate not to spoil
the coming dinner. The cloth may he
plain or elaborate and tho cups alike
or all different, but always small and
thin. Tho kettle may be of copper,
brass or silver, but must always BIO
shining. The biscuit must be dry, tho
bread very thin, and only suspicion of
sweet or very choice butter. There
should be 10 danger Of the butter com
ing i'll contact with gloves.
The sandwiches may lie only sus-
plclon of fruitp put between the biscuits.
Flower sandwiches may be made with
roses, clover or violets. 10 make these

ty OF clover, roses or violcts, or the

Tea is madoin many different ways.
To make French tea take four tea
spoonfuls of ten, four cups of boiling
water, one square of cut sugar and

Orange Pckoe is black tea, n favorito

can prepare it.

She spent her life in doing for her hus-

of Mrs. Mckinley's life will fail to find
any record of her in society, or that she
was whist crank, or gave extravagant
receptions, or belonged to any literary

intelligent, educated woman, and read
extensively, she didn't think it neces-
