Those who know what tastes good

statement that this simple dinner, or
luncheon, as II may be. is easily pre-

ever. that the work demanded is far
beyond the strength of most mistress
e. or the skill OF the average maid.
The impossibility Of serving the
courses where one person must be
both waitress and cook is also evident
to the initiated. In fact, the available
means of serving a menu must be
taken into account. as we'll as the
palate and pocketbook. Otherwise
things that should be hot will be cold
and cold dishes will be unappetizingly
1ukewarm.
When invited guests are expected 1t
would be better not to serve over
three courses and have each as near
perfection as skill and care can make
them. When woman must be her

SHOWS NOVEL DISPLAY

Finished in solid mahogany and decor
ated with large tapestries above the
show cases. Lucios' new store. 1907 /
street, is one OF the handsomest Jew
elUy establishments in washington. The
building at 1891 + street is owned by
Daniel Levy. local manager Of the Lucios
Company, and alterations have been
completed whereby the firm IS given
ideal quarters for the display Of its
goods.
With thirty-eight stores located in all
principal cities OF the United States,
the Lucios Company is the largest deal
err in semi-precious gems, European
novelties. and imitation precious stones
of any firm in the country. The Lucios
dsh-scaIe pearls are known all over the
country. and defy detection by experts.
They are an exact reproduction of real
pearls. and the closest examination fails
TO show the slightest imperfection.
The washington store handles only
exclusive designs in jewelry, and the
articles found on exhibition here can be
purchased in no other store one large
show case is devoted exclusively 70
combs. ana the stock IS said to be the
most complete carried in Washington.
Most of the novelties, such as combs.
pins. and other jewelry speciaIJies. are
imported direct or designed by Mr.. Levy
and manufactured under his persona
direction. The latest productions in imi-
tation gems and jewelry are designed by
Mr.. Levy, who is an expert in this line
OF work
Necklaces and belt buckles are among
the articles on which the company
specializes, and in both these lines the
stock is as complete as The most exact
ing customer could desire. The designs
range in style from the simpler buckles
ara necklaces to those with elaborate
O. wins and handiwork.
Several of the pearl necklaces which
Mr.. Levy has designed are modelled
after those owned by the queens of
foreign nations, and are almost exac,
copies of famous pieces Of jewelry worn
BY royalty.
The tapestries which are used to dec
crate the store are the work Of Dou.itt.
the New York artist. The subjects were
selected by Mr. Levy from paintings in
the Metropolitan Museum OF Art and
the CorcOTan AT; Gallery.
