BRIDGE SUPPERS AND AN
AFTER-DITVNER AMUSEMENT

were served in quaint silver cake basket
A silver dish held the cutest little lucky
horsesboes,' made of foie gras and egg. The
nails OF the horseshoes were tiny studs OF
truffles. These pretty trifies were arranged
in bed of watercress.
Opposite this dish was a jellied dish of
game. For this entree are required little
oblong molds which first lined with
aspic jelly. The pips Of the cards are liked
on the Jelly before 1t Is set, the hearts ana
diamonds being formed from scarlet chilieS
and the black suits from truffies cut out
These cards are then set with rich white
chaufroid filled with a fairly stiff puree or
game The molds are put on ice until ready
to serve, when they are turned out ana
dished, shown in the illustration
The molds for these cards may be pur-

original turn of mind, as, for instance, one
or more hands that the successful bridge

a garnish of cress. When buying the molds
for this dish be sure TO get the small cnes
Another attractive novelty is bonnie

another alternative would be to serve the

from chilies. Mushrooms are also used IN

a dash OF cayenne and mixed with sauce

Another suggestion liz cream of fowl q

tuiN our attention to the new art of fruit
sculpture which has just arrived from the
other side of the pond. Wise persons who
go in for fruit sculpture will provide them
selves beforehand with a few simple con-
triyances to help along the nouveau art
In the pocket IL the guest Is mana
woman never owns such a thing as a
pocket-will be carried black and white
headed pins some wooden matches and a
sharp penknife to cut what the fruit knife
cannot cut
II he desires to present to the admiring
gaze OF the other diners an orange pig he
will peel his orange entirely In one piece,
slipping the knife in a sharp cut through
which the whole fruit may be coaxed. The
four legs are then shaped. the rind slightly
rolled paper ears and a paper tail added
and the pig is finished. For plumper pig
a plum Is chosen. The tail OF the pig Is
furnished by the plum stem. The stump
of cigar Is added for a snout. the ends
of matches for feet. and with paper ears
very presentable prize porker Is the result
The boarding house baron is another ex-

sharp match or toothpick. These materials
