TABLE IN SHAPE OF A HEART

Though it may not be a legal holiday
there is no day more universally be-
loved by young people than that OF
their cherished saint, the good Val
entine. Hence it is that we may
fifty honor his anniversary by pretty
notwithstanding and gaiety for
the feet that lightly trip through the
ripping measures, equally dainty
feasting for those who, perchance,
have grown a shade more staid.
In planning menu for Nalen-
tine dinner it should be made to ac-
cord with the general color scheme.
This may either be rose, emblematic
of hope and happiness or scarlet, the
color of the heart and of loves pas
sion. For a pink dinner the follow
ing menu would be very appropriate:
Oysters on the shell. Cocktail Sauce.
Cream of Love Apple Soup.
Twin Soles Earth Apples.
Tenderloin of Beef.
Rice Croquettes. Caulihower.
Shrimp with Celery Salad.
Cheese Waters. Angel Parfait.
Kisses Bonbons. Coffee.
In planning the decorations it is
always possible to rent from cater
err a table top in the shape of a
heart; these tops are furnished with
clamps which fasten> them firmly to
the ordinary table: but the difficulty
in smooth yadjusting silence cloth
and damask to so irregular shape
will determine the average hostess to
confine her efforts to center piece,
cards and favors. There are few
homes which will not yield treasure
in the shape of china or bisque; horse
shoes, bows and arrows and butter,
files may also be used with effect
Roses or carnations are the most ap.
propriate flowers. while favors may
be in the shape of heart shaped pins
lockets, key-rings, bonbon boxes, etc
