 Young folks and inexperienced house. wives may find assistance in some l hints from Table Talk about accom- plishing house preparations for an en- tertainment of any kind: It is never best to economize too closely in the matter of helpers who are strong of arm and are accustomed to continuous hours of service. One cannot be clear headed, smiling and gracious as one should be when entertaining if nerves ere tingling with overfatigue. and bright and rested hostess is the most important part of an entertainment.
 In communities where it is difficult or Impossible to hire assistance spirit or common helpfulness sometimes pre- vails. Experience has shown that wo- men like to be asked to render these services for one another. and no one should hesitate to invite assistance from any mistaken notions of pride or Independence.
 One should never be ashamed of her household belongings because they are not of the latest pattern if they have been put in the best possible condition by means of paint. varnish and furni- ture polish.
