NOVELTIES FOR DAINTY LUNCH.
Welcome Refreshment at the End OF
Card Games.

In these days of q table or two OF
bridge as q form of entertainment,
hostesses are interested in inexpen-
sive novelties for refreshments.
What to serve depends largely on
the customs of the city and the time
of the party. During the hot weather
the morning has been the favorite
hour. Play lasts from ten o'clock un-
til 1880, when a cold lunch Is served
on the card tables or in the shaded
dining room.
This might consist of halves OF
canteloupe, with few blackberries In
each piece: jellied gumbo in cups;
boned chicken or Virginia ham, car
rots and peas in aspic, tiny French
rolls, iced coffee. whole tomatoes
stuffed with chopped green peppers,
and olives covered with mayOnnaise;
peach or blackberry sherbet with va
nilla waters.
Such a menu can easily be prepared
the day before at the cost of but few
dollars.l
If a lunch seems too much trouble,
iced coffee, tiny bacon or cheese sand
witches, cake and candy are passed a
little before noon, SO the guests may
get home to lunch.
With these light refreshments dain-
tiness should make up for variety. In
vest in a set of card cake cutters,
which consist of four pieces to repre-
sent the aces of spades. clubs, hearts
and diamonds. These can be used to
shape both the sandwiches and cakes.
Bake a rich cup cake in thick layers
in an oblong pan to save waste in
cutting. Ice the clubs and spades in
q fudge icing and the other two shapes
in a boiled white icing colored red
with currant strip or few drops of
cochineal.
Serve the iced coffee in tall, thin
glasses half filed with cracked ice
and with whipped cream on the top.
Russian tea or ginger ale may be sub
stituted for the coffee.
Instead of the sandwiches, crack
ers, buttered. covered with Parmesan
cheese and red pepper and toasted in
the oven may be used.
The candies can be made at home.

and covered with cream fondant.
