TABLE. SAYS MISS PARLOA.

The use of food and the responsibility Of the
housekeeper with pertinent suggestions as to the
selection and care OF meats. fish and eggs and the
cutting and carving of meats and fish. formed the
subject of Miss Paroa's lecture Yesterday afternoon
at the Young Wonans Christian Association.
The housewives responsibility was made quite
clear not only in the proper selection and prepare
ton of foods but for their dainty service and the
cheerful atmosphere that should be factor at their
disposal

table at least fo- they add more TO digestion than
anything else. Nothing brings on Indigestion so
quickly as being irritated annoyed and Disguised at

making things cheerful. Make the table as bright
and dainty as possible There is no excuse now for
ugly, plain china when you can get dainty things for
the same price. Pick up cups and saucers here and
there. and pretty individual plates for~dessert. A
