Good taste prohibits coloring such
foods as soups or entrees with q tint 50
out of place as violet. though il is per
Missile for sweet dishes and bonbons.
The idea of a violet luncheon must be
carried out by means OF table decora-
tons and china In the suburbs and
open country wild violets can be found
and a birch bark dish filled with rooted
and blooming Clumps wOuld make a
most appropriate center piece; il might
be arranged on a circular rejecting
mirror, the latter edged with moss or
trailing vines. At each place have a
tiny bunch of vioIets with long, violet
headed pins to fasten them to the cor
sage. Use white china either plain or
banded or sprigged with violet For

would be both delicate and seasonable.
