BUFFET LUNCHEON
DELIGHTFUL AFFAIR
Can Be Given in Place of
Formal Tea Or After
nooon Card Party.

If you have too many guests TO seat
at a regular luncheon and do not care
TO give a tea or afternoon card party,
why not give a buffet luncheon2 They
are rather novel, can be easily managed
and every one has an informal time.
one given recently for seyenty-five
guests was quite delightful affair and
as quickly served as If but dozen
guests had been present.
Small chairs were rented and put close
together around the dining room and
back hall so that everyone had a seat.
The table was set In the middle OF the
dining room arranged for serving only.
In the center was a great, obiong pla-
,eau of sweet peas and mignonette-
Silver candelabra with pink shades were
used at either end of the square table
and dotted around were bonbon dishes
with nuts, cakes and candy, also plates
of bread and butter sandwiches.
The menu consisted of oyster cock
tails, bouiIion, croQuettes and Drowned
oysters, fruit salad with crackers
baked with Parmesan cheese ana
paprika, fresh strawberry Ice cream
served in sherbet glasses with straw
berries on top. and coffee
Everything was served from the
kitchen and there were enough walters
not to have delays. Several members
Of the family did not sit down but
moved from group to group to break
up any stiffness and see that all were
served promptly. Coffee was passed
after the. guests had risen from their
chairs. this was more informal and
gave an opportunity 10 meet friends
not seen before.

HOMEGROWN SPINACH LAT
EST SUMMER VEGETABLE
ON THE MARKET.

Homegrown spinach is the newest
summer vegetable on the market Nor
folk spinach has disappeared and the
local product will constitute the entire
source of supply Of the vegetable for
several weeks.
With the disappearance of Norfolk
spinach prices made a considerable adj
vance on account of the lifrht supply.
Local shipments today, how ever, gave
a considerable stimulus to supply and
prices recorded a reduction.
on account of unfavorabSe weather
conditions the local spinach season is
beginning late. Indications are that
supply Will be up to tie average by
summer,

HINTS FOR FRESHENING UP
FURS GIVEN BY A YOUNG
WOMAN WHO KNOWS HOW.

A young woman whose furs seem to
last her an unusually long time without
visits to the furrier for repairs says

out Of business.
When the fur seems to be hattened
or crushed she vets a clean, rather
soft, hairbrush aud brushes the fur

to dry.
When no longer moist, the fur Is

Comparatively little criticism has been
heard regarding the awarding Of prizes
in The Times Household Hints Contests
for women readers. AS a rule the COM
ment received IN letters is in praise OF
the judges selections. Unfavorable
criticism was anticipated. however, at
the outset, as It was not expected that
everybody would agree on the relative
worth OF the suggestions
Therefore II was decided 70 place the
deciding power in the hands Of com
mittee OF judges and to abide by those
decisions. This did not preclude. how
ever. the publishing of any letter OF fair
criticism. such as the following, that
might be received:
Editor of the Woman's Page:
I do not agree with you in giving the
ironing board convenience the first
prize. No woman who has nice irons
would think OF scratching them up with
emery paper. / would almost as soon
think of using emery paper on my sill
yer plate. A careful housekeeper never
lets her irons get rusty enough TO need
such heroic treatment In damp wealth
er. when the irons will get a little
rusty In spite Of great care, rub them
lightly with Sapolio or Dutch Cleanser
before putting them vsi the stove TO
heat, and that with q little wax, which
every noner uses, IS ali that is neces-
sary.
Preserving Potatoes.
To me the most helpful suggestion so
far in yoT contest was for preserving
potatoes, By Mrs. c. L. Cooper / al
ways buy my potatoes In quantity In
the fall when they do not cost nearly
as much as In the spring, but I have
always been much troubled by their
sprouting and getting soft This sug-
gestion came just IN time to meet my
need I tried II and found II entirely
killed the sprouts and made the pOta-
toes more firm, and they surely are
renewed and look as IL they might keep
a year.
1t seems to me the ant trap is a much
more practical idea than the one you
gave first prize to. The stool for using
in the kitchen Is not new at all That
suggestion has been in different maga-
zines for years, and / would not think
OF being without one. also know many
women who consider II a valuabl ad-
dition TO their kitchen furniture.
