his manifold sauces and high seasonings, but
such menu that the average good cook can
readily follow. For mine hostess on this day
must be free from any anxiety over Mary Anne s
ability to serve correctly and with the hghtness
of touch and qucl1ness of movement that charac-
terize all good mattresses.
If there turks the slightest suspicious in the
hostess's mind that Mary Anne may become mud
died at serving large a party and that the
salad may supplant the turkey in point of turn,
simple detailed account of just how to serve
the dinner the position of the courses they fol-
low each other, will keep her on the right track
and greatly relieve your doubts
AS a matter of precaution a slip of paper
pasted on the pantry door for future reference
offers a timely assurance both to yourself and
serving maid that at least the courses will fol
low correctly which, after all, is the crowning
touch to a carefully planned, well cooked meal.
DO NOT MAKE DINNER TOO LONG
1t is very serious mistake to keep your guests
at the table for three four hours, as is fre
quently the case; though to be sure, part of this
time is taken up at the conclusion of the dinner
as the men linger their coffee and cigars
and with the inevitable flow of gossip through
out the meal.

has been materially reduced Make it a rationa

TO ROAST A HAM

Take new ham that has been salted for some
weeks. If smoked, parboil it before roasting.
While it is before the fire, baste it with white
wine and sugar. When half done, remove skin,
stick it full of cloves and let it roast as long
again, basting it with fresh wine and sugar until
thoroughly cooked.
NEVER STIR INGREDIENTS
When making biscuits or bread with baking
powder or soda and cream tartar, the oven should
he prepared first, the dough handled quickly
and put into oven as soon as it becomes the prop
er iehtness If oven is too slow, the article bak-
ed will be heavy and hard. Never stir ingre-
dienst into batter, but beat them in.
THE. KITCHEN TABLE
To prevent the corner of your table working
through your table oilcloth, take four squares
of strong canvas, glue piece on wrong side, Just
where the corners of the table come in contact
with the tablecloth; this also prevents the table
loicloth from cracking and looking shabby as you
often see them

THE MENU IN DETAIL.

In the way of tempting appetizer, oysters on
half shell in bed of ice with lemon on the side,
or cocktail in the centre with oysters grouped
around are much favored. Oysters in cocktail
are equally appropriate. The alternate of this

Never is this feeling more universally or potent
y expressed than on Thanksgiving; the occasion
for festive home gatherings, reunions, and where
strangers are made welcome as one of your own

the host who can preside at his own board, among
congenal spirits.

PLAN OF MENU

Make every dish served typically American and
thoroughly characteristic, timely and appropriate.
In the first place, you will be giving your din
ner with equally good taste by serving it in
either FIVE eight or nine courses
The foundation of the dinner consists of an ap-
petizer, soup with reshes, turkey with vege-
tables, salad, dessert of pies-pumpkin, mince
and apple-to which may be added an ice and a
steamed pudding if desired, nuts, raisins and cof-
fee.
Between the soup and turkey you may intro
duce something light to prepare in the way for
the heaviest part of the dinner, fish or a chicken
pie, OR rabbit may follow the turkey When
one is giving an elaborate Thanksgiving dinner,
course of sherbet made of lemon ice and fla
vored with rum may be introduced after the tur-
key This is delightfully."- cooling especially when
game follows that is served with salad Slices

 If was a sincere, earnest and enthu- siastic body of business men that met yesterday morning in the Board or Trade for the opening session or the convention. which will continue for three days. and giant strides having For the advancement of the importance of the Southern gateways are expected to result from the deliberations of this gathering.
 The convention was called to order at II o'clock by James w. Porch. chair man of the joint committee represent ing all of the local exchanges. The invocation was pronounced by Rev. Albert Biever S. J.. pastor of the Church of the Holy Name. in St.. Charles. Gov. N. C. Blanchard wei comed the delegates in the name of the State of Louisiana. The Governor said that the Southern country was on the eve, of large indus trial devel- opment. The imagination could not paint the glory of the South in the years to come after the completion of the Panama canal. It was 600 miles nearer to Colon than New York, and 100 miles nearer than Galveston. The completion of the canal would insure New Orleans a great advantage over any other commercial metropolis of the country. Much of the trade that formerly sought Eastern ports would in the future come southward.
 The welcome in behalf of the city of New Orleans was extended by Mayor Rehrman. The problems to be consid- cred should be discussed solely from point of practical business.

To allay their anxiety. to gain their confidence 70 prove to their satisfaction, not merely to our own. that we come as a friend. is abso- lutely necessary to the establishment with them of extensive trade relations. It Is up to us as a nation, not only to say, we are not asking territorial ac- quisition. but to make the same good.
 In July there is to be held at Rio Janeiro an international conference of American States, the occasion will af- ford a most propitious opportunity for the development of friendly inter- course, and to make this coun- try's real attitude understood by the Latin Americas. That this op- portunity will be taken advantage or is assured from the fact that the United States. though unoffcially, will be represented there by Mir. Root, whose practical sense, wisdom, sagac- ity and judgment. entirely independ- entIy of the importance of his official position as Secretary of State pecu- liarly fit him to be of inestimable ben eft on such an occasion.
