and Many Of Them.

At Thanksgiving time so much 10
heard Of ol~d-fashioned dinners that 1t
may be interesting to readers to hear
what the term signiied in Philadel.
phia some years ago.
About 30 years ago q large dinner
was very different to what II 10 now.
In the first place courses, such az we
know them. we're practically unknown;
even In the wealthiest houses there
was rarely anything but soup Yreced.
ing the actual dinner, but this soup
was generally very rich.
Such q dinner consisted about as
follows: First a handsome silver-cov.
cred soup tureen was placed on the
table, filled with mock turtle or per-
haps venison soup. and all were
plentifully helped, the great silver
ladle. corresponding to the tureen,
doing good service. After the soup
plates were removed a great roast
turkey decked with celery and cram
berries and m~arvelously trusscd and
dressed was placed at n end of the
table while at the other was q large
piece OF a la mode beef on a platter.
Roast duck and apple sauce some.
times took the place of a la mode
beef but the two ends OF the table
had always their respective meats or
poultry. Sweet and white potatoes
and every sort of vegetable to be had
obtained a place on the festive board,
while cunning molds OF cranberries
and jellics and gravies, pickles and
the like were in abundance.
There was generally what was
known as an "oyster pie'-stewed
oysters served in a puff-paste shell,
the rich dressing Of the oysters be-
ing made thick with egg.
There was no salad course, but OF
desserts there was no dearth. Pump
kin pie, mince pie. and always a won
derfully constructed meringue and
either jelly or custard. sometimes
both. served In glasses. while plates
and ~nutcrackers we're handed around
for the nuts.
The centerpiece was invariably a
great pyramid of fruits arranged on
q cut-glass or Dresden china epergne,
and, when the table vas very long,
there were sometimes two OF these
fruit pyramids,
A little later, after the guests had
adjourned to the drawing-room, coffee,
ices and fancy cakes were served to
them there. There were no little
after.dinner coffee cups in those days.
but generous breakfast sizes of finest
French eggshell china, often exquisite
ly %handpainted with landscapes or
picked out In gold.
When there was a large party Of
young people, a separate table was
set for them In the small library.
which In those days, was generally
built back OF the dining room, the
latter being In the back building of
the second floor, corresponding to the
library or sitting room Of today.
The back parlor' was used only as
such then or az a breakfast room, the
state dining-room being invariably
upstairs, and sometimes there was
not even a dumb.waiter To assist In
carrying things up from the kitchen
below. SO that u large dinner VAS no
easy matter to serve In those days OF
large families and lavish hospitality.
