A prominent school principal. recently addressing

DISHES FOR LUNCHEONS.
COOKS PICTURE BOOK By MRS. MARY
RONALD HAS MANY SUGGESTIONS.

In '.Iuncheons: A Cooks Picture Book (pub-
ushed by the Century Company. New-York). Mrs.
Mary Ronald has provided the ambitious house
keeper with a comprehensive and valuable manual
on the art of luncheon giving. The recipes, many
OF which are new, while others are classics at
least familiars are illustrated by excellent photo
eraphs as in THE Century Cook Book" TO which
this is a supplement Among the topics treated in
the authors usual resourceful and suggestive man
ner are different ways OF preparing butter. pota-
toes. the use OF the pastry bag. the making OF
cheese dishes icings hot and cold desserts, etc In
stead OF menus. lists are printed at the beginning
Of each chapter of the various dishes that are
adapted to the particular luncheon course therein
described. and the recipes for all these dishes fol-
low.
GARNIsHING AND DIsHING MEATS
One interesting section treats OF the garnishing
and dishing Of meats. Mrs. Ronalds says In part:
One celebrated French chef says: III faut wiser
q charmer les yeux des gourmet avant den salts
faire e gont;' ana another in giving advice to be-
ginners. says: "a cook should have that artistic
feeling which imparts TO everything. great and
small. that harmony OF style which captivstes the
eye"
This necessity IS well recognized by every good
cook. and such q one tries TO give dishes the in
viting appearance justly demanded by eptcures- II
is not necessary that the dish belong to the cate
CORY which. in cooking parlance. is termed high
class" for the simplest comes under the same
rule and Is capable OF being raised to higher
rank by careful dishing and tasteful garnishng.
The greatest cooks are renowned for such spe-
ciaties.
1t is said Of Soyer. ''for dishing up he
titled 70 celebrity: and OF Careme. che excelled
in everything requiring perfect taste and dealt in
a new and very effective manner with the orna-
mentation of large cold Dishes"
There is nothing which so quickly indicates the
grade OF the cook the manner in which she
serves her dishes. One who has pride in her
work seldom takes time for ornamentattpn, though
garnishing is the simplest part Of her duty. When.
however. attention IS given 10 this branch, even
though the result may not be perfect 1t gives
promise OF better things. and one may confidently
predict for the cook who thus shows desire TO do
well that she will attain higher degree of excel
lence IN her profession There is class OF dishes
from breads TO desserts. which are not more ap-
petizing when made attractive in appearance. It
has been said that "eyes do half the eating" and
