The second of the club luncheons in
/ the American Poet series could be
given in honor Of Thomas Bailey
/ Aldrlch. who was horn on November
II. 1896 His birthplace was Ports
| mouth, n. H.. the town which will
pass down into history as the scene of
/ the signing OF the treaty Of peace be-
tween Russia and Japan A clever
idea for the chief table at the lunch-
eon-where the officers and guests Of
/ honor are seated could be worked out
| in decorating in the Russian and Jap
anese flags and colors giving a bit of
/ modern historical interest TO the affair.
Mr. Aldrlchs lyrical lines are easily
adapted to the use Of menu description
and table decoration. For the tables
carry out much the same idea Of dec
oration as that suggested last week for
/ the William Cullen Bryant luncheon,
with this exception: instead of the use
of the ribbons bearing the table quota
ton decorate in the flowers or foliage
suggested by the quotation and use the
lines on the second page of the folder,
opposite the MENU This can be done
very readily II the number to be seated
ri each table is determined early, that
the writer Of the menus may make the
necessary divisions of the quotations.
From the prelude to the Cloth of
| Gold" may be culled the line:
"A tissue out Of autumn caves"
and IL autumn leaves are still to be-
found this line suggests a good table
trimming From the same poem
Here a thistle, there a rose
and the combination should be very
attractive.
II the florist is unable to produce
apple blossoms in November, go to the
milliner In her stock of trimmings
may be found the blossoms very true
20 life these days, and even II arti-
fetal. they can be woven into very
pretty table decoration. For this table
"L'Envoie to Cloth of Gold" gives this
line:
nAllluE lut hpplt ulo19blut
For another combination, when the
Sultan Goes to lspahan" gives
"Anemones, myrtles and violets'-
which the florists of the cities. at least.
will be able to supply.
But most appropriate of all the tables
for fall entertainment is the line
"The pine cone ripens and the long
! moss Waypg"--
which is T. be found in the poem By
the Potomac" The pine cone and
moss forms one of the most beautiful
decorations for luncheons or dinners
which may be found and it is of dou-
BILE value because 50 seldom used.
For the menu one of the mystery
lines from the poem Egypt
"'Tis neither midnight twilight or
moonrise"-
will serve well for clear soup and cs
the beginning Then in the order of
service may follow:
For an oyster course
Dipping the jewels out of the sea,
from Before the Rain" For FISH and
its accomplishments
, "-- costliest fish
And all that the curious palate could
wish ~ hen the Sultan Goes to
Ispahan."
, The same poem furnishes the line
for the meat course
! "Of spiced meats.
with this course viii come the
e bread to be described by
-" the amber grain
e shrunk in the wind '--"Before the
Rais."
From this last poem likewise comes
] the suggestion for the glass of water
"Scooping the dew that lay in tho
flowers"
The salad course returns to "Clott
of Gold for its description
"How strange and shadowy it all
Il seems"
Then comes a series Of lines from
: "Whm the sultan Goes 20 Ispahan
D. 20 "order his feast which will serv,
!. the dainty COURSES For mixed ices OF
IS ice cream;
- "GHtterng squares of colored ice"
- For the cakes. which will be pa9
of this course
'' "sweetened with syrups, tincture,

And 'or the bon bons-
Creams and cordials and sugare,

Coffee which comes with the bon
bons. borrows this line from Egypt

China Wedding.
The china wedding anniversary
a which comes with the twelfth year q
married life. carries with it but littl
n chance for decoration. since china as
decoration is not particularly adapt
