Along about this time Of the year
the farmers are gathering in the last
of their grain. apples and other fruits
are being slowed away for the winters
use, and vegetables, too, have reached
their climax. It is the season Of plenty,
and q harvest dinner" not only will
be apropos, but very easily arranged.
Not many guests should be hidden, for
the service naturally must be plenti-
full, and too many guests will bring too
great q display Of food to be appetite
ing. AS nearly as possible have rep
resentative Of all the fruits. vegetables
and grains on the table, either In dec
grafton or actual service.
For the table, decoration have q
horn Of plenty filled with fruits, and
hung from the chandelier. Immediate
~ beneath arrange u mound or bou-
Quet Of the grains-wheat, oats and
the like. On the stem Of each fruit
which Is placed in the central horn of
plenty tie q narrow ribbon, which
will lead to a cover. At the COVER
end Of the ribbon a paper horn of
plenty with the name aof guest writ
ten thereon or q tiny horn of plenty,
with the name thrust in the horn, may
be used as the place card.
For the first course serve water
melon in the old-fashioned southern
or farm style. Cut the melon length
wise. not removing the rind before
serving. Chicken or tomato soup may
follow, with all the relishes of the sea-
son. For August the fish course may
be omitted, II desired, and the meat
course may follow the soup. For this
serve crown of lamb with mint sauce,
Shirred potatoes. green peas and corn
boiled on the cob and replaced in the
original husk for serving, will serve
as the vegetables for this course. Pine
apple or raspberry sherbet, likewise,
will make good dish for the meat
course. The salad should be a COM
bination. of all the fresh vegetables,
sliced together and served with French
or mayonnaise dressing, the French
preferred.
The dessert course may be frozen
peaches, cakes and coffee, and for the
very last bring in great plate Of the
early nuts. Then ask the guests to pull
the ribbons bearing their place cards.
and the fruit from the horn of plenty
will come tumbling to their places.
AS the table will be cleared EXCEPT
for the plate Of nuts no damage can
be done, and conjecture will be rife
as to what each one will draw from the
horn of plenty for the final course. The
same idea in decoration-the horns of
plenty and the use of grain and fruit
may be carried out throughout the
rooms of the house, If desired.
A Literary Evening.
The ever-new but old idea of the
magazine as means Of entertain
ment may be arranged in q somewhat
new form for summers evening at
home church or club AFFAIR.
Starting with the old idea Of erecting
q frame for the posing of the contents
OF the magazine, name the publication
according to the place wherein you re-
side or to the event to be considered.
Announce the issue as the late sum-
mer book number.
Friends Of the host and hostess. or
young people Of the Town, should be-
dressed and posed to represent some
well-known books, and the object will
be to make the guests guess the titles
from the living pictures. The first
picture, of course, will announce the
title OF the magazine merely. II the
ana1r is to be used as a money-making
scheme, local advcrt isements may be
used at intervals, but IL not, the book
number should begin at once. The
frontispiece Of the magazine may be
one of the book titles, or It may be
the photograph Of very well-known
author or poet. The guests must write
the name Of the, man or woman shown
on the paper which has been furnished
each. as the first answer.
AS the magazine is to be made the
cn1ef feature Of the evening. Soma TX
or 20 pictures should be shown.
