Taste In Small Things.

1t is not necessary to do "big" things
in entertaining to create a favorable
impression upon your guests. 1t is in
the cleverness, the good judgment shown
in preparing the menu. You will note
that at any really delightful affair you
attend, no matter how large or how
small it be, the hostess will invariably
serve Nabisco Sugar Wafers-the acme of
daintness. One is never at loss what
to offer guests for refreshment, dessert or
after dessert if Nabisco Sugar Waters are
always kept in the home.
