renee in dismay; 'I'll never dare get
up dinner till know more than
] do now. should be worried sick
Tor week before, and as for ration
nj conversation while we were at
the table, it would simply be out OF
the question. I should be wonder
ing if everything would 90 OF all
right"
WELL" suggested her friend, 'if
you would like ito entertain, why
don't you give a luncheon to some
Of your girl friends? Luncheons are
% much more informal than dinners,
and if your luncheon goes off we'll,
Ct will give you courage to attempt
q dinner"
The bride dropped her embroidery
suddenly.
81 have it," she cried; "I'll get up
an Easter luncheon, and invite my
bridesmaid: Now you know" she
continued, confidentially, as she re-
summed her work, I'm a greenhorn,
to do it. Between you and me, I'm
Just aching for chance to show OF
my pretty cut glass and silver"
Mrs. Krke smiled. Vanity" she
demonstrated, "but if you would like
TO invite your bridesmaids, I think
can help you get UP a very pretty
affair" 3
You're ever so good" replied the
other gratefully, "for I'm so stupid
about such Things. Now, If it were
a case of doing some Greek prose, or
translating bit of Horace, I'd feel
more at home. And do wish I'd
had chance to learn housekeeping
at college,"
WELL" responded her companion,
"I'M be only too glad to give you the
benefit OF my experience, such as it
IS. In the first place, as long as it is
TO be an Easter luncheon, your dec
Orations must be Mhes, of course, and
the color scheme green and white"
THAT would be pretty" comment
ed Mrs. Lawrence. "and have a
handsome cut glass vase that would
do for the lilies"
Mrs. Kirke shook her head.
"No, have newer idea than that,
Get one OF those pretty green mats
from the florists with fringed
edges), and double 1t over corner
wise, fastening with a big bow Of
green ribbon. Then you can lay the
lilies in that, SO that some come out
each end. It gives kind of basket
effect. The silver candelabra that
your aunt gave you will be just the
thing for the table, with green shaded
candles"
"But don't you think green gives
a CHASTITY light?" objected the bride.
''Not If you get the right shade"
responded her friend, "and anyway
You want 1t to harmonic with the
rest of the luncheon.
Now for your menu. ! think 1t is
good idea to let the various courses
carry out the color scheme, and you
can have great variation in green
and white. First of all, have little
neck CLAIMS served with water cress;
there's your green for that course.
Then for your soup. Let me see. If
we're you. I'd have cream of Gu
cumber. It's dainty and 1t isn't a
very common kind either"
SIS it hard TO make? l have
good cook, you know"
"Oh, not at all. If you can make
one kind of cream soup, you can
make them ALL Now for your fish.
Suppose you have boiled halibut with
parsley sauce, for that's good green
and white combination. For your
meat, dreaded spring lamb chops with
peas, and if you want to do things up
nicely, follow this up with a mint
sherbet
DO you think your husbands
pocketbook could stand sweetbreads?
Dreamed. they would make lovely
entree. and you can make up for it
on your salad. Just have plain let.
