'It's not the bread and butter, but
the way it's spread, is an old adage
that was literally verified in a studio
supper given for a New York artist
not long ago. The affair was made
unusually lively and informal by the
unique manner in which the hostess ar
ranged that her guests should be
served.
On the table were placed automatic
toys of automobiles, trolley cars and
steam trains, containing favors upon
which were written the names of the
guests. At the beginning of the lunch
con these toys were wound up and
started and each guest was requested
to seat himself wherever the toy con-
tanning his name stopped.
This naturally created great merri-
ment and all formality was immediate
ly dispersed. The waitress, who serv-
ed for the occasion was provided with
child's toy wagon in which the
yiands were brought to the dining
room, each guest helping himself as
the wagon passed by. The repast was
a simple one and the entertainment
as whole inexpensive, yet the guests
were unanimous in their expressions
of the evenings real enjoyment. Any
unique method of serving in which the
hostess can Undue her hospitality with
simplicity and originality is sure to be
popular. This is an idea that is sue
cessful with children's affairs as well
as the grownups.
