ARTISTIC DINNER GIVING.
The Ideal Dinner for Small Conn
pany Has n simple Menu and
n Perfect Service.

The ideal dinner-party is never large;
six has been said TO be the magic num-
Der, but eight, and even ten are per-
fectly manageable, both in the matter
of smooth service and in the higher
harmonics. DO not confne your choice
to intimate friends, but add to their
pleasure and your own the fresh eX-
perience of meeting new spirits, whose
congeniality YOU have OWNED.
A really artistic dinner, il Is the
writer's conviction that il should never
exceed four courses s-includinq the
coffee. The scheme of the dinner is that
each dish shall be perfect; worthy of
the palate and of the appetite-en-
ioyed to the full OF its merits. and not
trihed with and instantly forgotten.
The second point in importance is that
dish shall be rs attractive in appear
ance as ii is perfect in flavor: that il
should be placed upon the table as an
added enjoyment, and Hospitality served
by host or hostess. The third poi,t,
also of importance, is that dinner
should be seasonahle- an anticipa-
tion of seasons for every chosen
article should be at its very best. 4
