NEW NOTIONS IN DISHES

Some OF the new bOn-bOn dishes are
marvels of daintiness They come In all
shapes and designs One is In the shape
Of a large inverted rose. tinted pink
and lined with hand painted rose petals
and stray leaves.
Omelet dishes are seen IN the peculiar
oblong shape wider at one end than the
other. and beautifully hand painted.
These useful platters are considered es-
sential to the proper garnishing and
serving Of an omelet
One of the latest additions to the list
Of new dishes is a whipped cream bowl.
The prettiest Of these IN china have
hand painted floral designs. In shape
they look much like miniature punch
bowls, but are shallOwer.
Fish platters and individual plates
are much more elaborate than formerly
and come I'm oblong shapes which look
like fishes Fishes are painted on the
better china ones. Small bone dishes
of the same shape 90 with these sets.
Individual salad dishes are seen in
new shapes One especially handsome
set is made 10 represent lily pads. One
which IS especially dainty for lettuce is
a pale pink and green china caladium
leaf as delicately yeined as the real
leaf
For gclatines, blanc manges and sim
liar dalnties, there are beautiful large
and individual mOlds. One Of the newest
is the grape mold, and when the gelatine
is emptled on dainty piece Of china,
1t looks like a stem Of luscious grapes.
To carry out this illusion, grapes are
dropped In the jelly before It sets.
Instead OF the cream being served on
the desert OF beverage in the kitchen,
il is now the fad to serve II from the
table For this purpose II is whipped to
stiff froth, then nodded into the shape
desired before It is placed in the orna-
mental bowl. A whipped cream ladle
made Of the china is used for serving
the individual portions.
Sherbet glasses now come I'm cut glass
and china I'm the shape OF flowers. One
seen recently was made to represent an
orchid blossom, and was delicate Law
ender and white, with a slender twisted
stem OF green. Another one repre-
scnted a water lily which rested on a
green pad Of transparent china. These
dishes come I'm sets Of twelve. with ice
tubs and bon-bon dishes to match.
