AT this time Of year almost everyone
Is planning for a trip Of some kind
10 the seashore, mountains or abroad
and usually there are numerous little
attentions from the friends before the
departure. The most popular form Of
entertainment Of this kind is the
luncheon. for men care little for the
sentiments Of such entertainments and
what is more to the point. they have
precious little time for them.
FOR the woman who is going 10 the
mountains many pretty little ideas can
make a luncheon in her honor a very
attractive affair For instance. the cen
terpiece may be a mound OF brown
stones OF OF ck3colate-c coated rock
candy. on the top OF which is sprinkled
goodly supply Of pulverized sugar to
represent snow. AT intervals up Ia the
height determined as tree limit" lit
re green twigs can be placed and now
and then a bit Of moss Or mountain
flower or some such thing may com
plete the illusion. This centerplece. of
course, will rise from foothills" OF
moss and rocks.
The menu should be suggestive of
travel and its experiences. For SOUP

tie Of everything" Then there is
mountain trout. and any meat which

For the one who Is going abroad, get

where cloths are not advisable doc

over a sea-green silk tableJoth which
Is draped about the edge also Lay lace
dollies for the plates and tumblers and
other dishes. In the center OF this sea

Of cover, have toy boats. yachts or
steamers each flying flag Of some ma
ton upon which Is written the name
Of the guest for whom it is intended.
This will convert the table into a sea

salted nuts and bon bons and olives.
The soup should be clear and may
be served In china boats. the fish may
be planked and brought to the table
for service on a large plate OF glass;

After one Of these luncheons a rapid

the old spelling school contests. Then
start with: What is the capitol Of
China?" Where does the Mississippi
riseg" Where is Dresden?" and
long list OF such questions. including a
drilling on the capitols of the various
states. This will be the means Of
creating much fun. for few there are
who are not rusty on these questions
after a few years from study Time TO
