 A grape dinner at this time of the year is sensonable and certainly beautiful. and It possss the wonderful advantage of be- ing no more expensive and great deal less trouble to give than the ordinary formal affair. The woman who orig inated the grape dinner had a man to serve 1t, but this is not necessary At one described in the Phi.adephia Times. in the center of the table was a big silver and glass dish, into which were piled grapss of a deep purple and brg-ht green, with an abundance of grape leaves upon them. As grape leaves are not al- ways easy to obtain, limitation ones can be substituted, for the sake of the ap- pearance of the dish; but at this time of the year trip to the country will give anyone an armful of Raves for the ask Ing. From the dish there extended grape vines, which led to the -four corners of the table, each terminating with large bunch of green grapes. The table was set for eight, and undlsr each plate there was aSdoily in the form of grape leaf, stitched with green around the edge and veined. The cloth was snow white, as were also the dishss. The guests were served with grape jelly made in bunch of-grapes mold. This was served with the game. With toast came grape sorbet (home-nrade), after which there were ices alnd cream in bunch of grapes form tinted with pistachio Over the table punches of grapes were hung from the chandeliers.
