poor one. l know a woman who be-
gan serving pies when her church So
ciety gave dinners. Now she bakes pies
for grocers, private individuals and ban
quets. She bakes in her own home
kitchen and has a wagon for delivering
to grocers, but individuals come for
their pies.
In most places there is a demand for
good caterer for social occasions, and
if you have any talent for cooking what
ever, this is a good business to adopt.
Perhaps you cannot actually cook, but
can plan menrs. know how to buy foods
and to serve them nicely. Well and
good. Go right ahead. Employ your
cook and you take charge of the bust

things to successful catering than stand

Before making a start, you will need
to sit down and consider several things.

New Parlor Game

A travel party would combine the re-
quirements OF very amusing enter
tainment. On tables there are about
fifty different articles representing diff
ferent countries or places. Guests are
given pencils and pads with lists of the
articles, and must write down opposite
the names of the articles the names of
the places from which the things have
come, or which they represent. Thus,
tea would represent Ceylon; coffee,
Java; an ostrich plume, South Africa;
cigar, Havana; an orange, Florida;
cotton, Georgia; coal, Pennsylvania sill
yer, Nevada; linen, Ireland; a chrys-
anthemum, Japan; a tulip, Holland; silk,
France; rubber, the Congo; macaroni,
Italy; rice, Florida; baked beans, Bos-
ton. A hostess must use wits and in
genuity in selecting and collecting the
things and in arranging them attract
lively. 1t is surprising how little thought
is given to the things which are ready
at hand to use and are brought from
distant lands or places-nuts, spices,
salt, raisins, cheeses, metals, etc. Guests
who have the best lists of answers are
given prizes. An amusing finish to the
evening is to have post-ofice, from
which an addressed picture postcard is
given to each guest who inquiries for
card or letter. The cards should repre-
sent different places in this country or
in foreign lands, in order to carry out,
as far as possible, the idea of travel. A
message, in verse or prose, should be
written on each card.

bathroom the other. A linen closet
is provided, with its first shelf high
enough from the floor to give head
room over the the stairs under
meath; the balance is filed up with
roomy shelves of ample capacity.
The bedrooms have roomy closets,
and a broom closet is provided in
the second-story hall.
This design does not call for an
attic; the amount of money neces-
sary to build a roof high enough
for head-room, with the necessary
dormer windows to light it and a
staircase to reach it, is distributed
elsewhere in the building. An attic
is desirable when economy is not
so carefully to be maintained !;
otherwise it is better to store the
trunks and like things on racks in
the basement.
The exterior is covered with
clapboards, with the rough side out
mitered at the corners and stained.
An olive-green stain, with ivory
white trimmings and sash, and
bronze-green blinds, will make a
most attractive combination of

china, silver and napery. In the case of
small luncheons and high teas and din
ners, hostesses generally prefer using
their own pretty china, but they do
not wish to get out the china for large
teas and receptions. There are many
kinds of dainty, inexpensive china
which you can buy. Stick to pure white,
Tor to green and gilt decorations. Flow
Iers of different colors will be used at
different affairs, and these two kinds of
china will harmonic with any color

catering in businesslike way and strik-

serve wedding breakfast or banquet

would he hesitate at writing down the

memorandum to his patroness, to be

you help them introduce or advertise

will ask you what brand of coffee, what

HARDY FERNS
Well Adapted to Places Where
Other Plants Fail

Few people are aware of the beautiful
effects produced by deft paintings of
hardy ferns. Many of them are spe-
cially adapted to cold, damp corners,
ranging along foundation walls or under
trees. It is a mistaken idea that ferns
will succeed in sodden or stagnant soil.
Although many grow naturally in very
damp or wet soil, nature always pro-
vides them perfect drainage, and the
same care is necessary in preparing beds
for them that other plants require. 1t is
mistake to buy ferns from street ven-
ders, because they fail to grow after
the long exposure of the roots to sun
and air. Many nurserymen make
speciality of hardy ferns. and these come
to you in perfect condition. The fol-
lowing comprise the best varieties for
almost entire shade: Adiantum peda-
tum (maidenhair fern; Aspidium acros-
tichoides (wood-fern) Aspidium Gold
lamm (shield-fern); Aspleniun Filix-
femina (lady-fern); Woodwardia Aug

Flowers for Shady Places
Few plants will flower where sun
shine is wholly excluded. Lily-of-the-
valley will thrive with very little sun
shine; and if you have corner where
the sun seldom penetrates, double,
hardy violets will bloom profusely there.
The stems will be somewhat short, but
brush the rank foliage apart and you
will find blossoms everywhere. With
two or three hours of sun, pansies are
rich in color and immense in size, pro-
vided there is a free current of air,
for air they must have. Other flowers
blooming successfully here are hardy
phloxes, columbines, spiderwort, fox
gloves, 1obelias and bleeding heart (di-
centra spectabilis). with day lilies, both
the white and the orange. For foliage
effect: Cannas, caladiums and Dusty
Miller (centaurea) succeed. The
GROWING delight of the garden at night
is the delicious fragrance Of the nico-
tiana, its white flowers cleaning like
stars in the moonlight. With scanty
sunshine, they last well into the day,
and all day in cloudy weather or in
doors in vases. In flower from early
July until freezing weather.
