round the waist and mounted on chif-

times between the bands of velvet on

ceives few flowers corresponding in
color with the ones on the table where
she is supposed to sit. Between the
courses the hostess changes places with
one of the guests at each table and in
this way she is enabled to have a pleas

luncheon of this character is generally
managed by a caterer or an experienced

The fashion of embroidering white

ideal hat to wear with this costume is
one covered with closely clipped black

feathers with pendent tails and silken
fringe is added, the last touch is given
to a costume which will redeem the
most hopelessly unattractive woman.

Deviled Fish.-Take any kind of
white fish weighing not less than four
pounds. boil until done, then remove
skin and bones and cut up fine. Take
a pint of water in which the fish was
cooked and a pint of milk. Put into
this butter the size of an egg, with a
little chopped parsley and onion. Salt

fish. Bake in shells covered with
breadcrumbs. Place a piece of butter

The charm of this feather hat lies in
the cOloring, which is entirely com

rather a large toque with a fiat crown
