A correspondent asks how to pre-

A pretty way is to have each ar
ticle marked with the donors name
and suitable sentiment or jingle
with it to be read as each package is
delivered by special messenger; or
the parcels may be brought in on a
tray at the table If luncheon is be-
ing served. This prolongs the feast,
and is an entertainment all sufficient.
They may also be presented in the
form of "cob-web;" this necessitates
the articles being sent to the hostess
beforehand. Still another way is to
