FOR DINNER OR LUNCHEON
proper Arrangement of the Table and
Order of Seating and Serv-
ing Guests.

Set a plate for each person. At
the right of the plate place an oyster
FORK, soup spoon and knife in the or
der of use, the first one used furthest
from the plate. At the left of the
plate lay the forks in order of use,
the first n used furthest from the
plate. Let the tines of the forks and
bowls of the spoons be turned upward
and the cutting edges of the knives be
turned toward the plate. Place the
napkin upon the plate or at the left
OF the forks or folded once above the
plate. Set glass for water above the
knife. If wine glasses are to be used
set the glass for water above the plate
and near the center of the cover (space
occupied by plate and accessories) and
set the wine glasses to the right in a
half circle, the first one to be used
placed furthest toward the right and
nearest the hand.
The salad knife and fork are sup
piled for a salad to be served as a
separate course. These are placed &C.
cording to the place of the salad in
the menu or just before the salad Is
passed. Spoons Or knives and forks
are usually supplied for the sweet
course-after table has been cleared
for this course-spoons and knives at
the right of the plate and forks at the
left. If forks only are called for, place
these at the right.
When serving the dessert-if eight
plates-or plates with finger bowls,
are to be set before the guests and
the dessert is to be brought in after
ward, set the plates before the silver.
II the dessert is to be brought In OH
Individual plates, set silver in place,
bring on the food.
Three important things to remem-
Der:
No. Food should always be set
down before the guests from the right.
No. 2-When a dish is presented
from which a guest is to help himself,
1T should be passed to his left.
No. 3-When a course is finished re-
move the plates from the left.
Meats are served by the host and
hostess from the table or by atten.
dants from side table and pantry.

Table napkins and tablecloths
should never be starched.
Bristle brushes if merely dusty can
be cleaned in cornmeal.
A small broom made of stiff wire Is
convenient in cleaning skillets.
a week alum bath is good for tender
feet which suffer in summer time.
Powdered boracic acid sprinkled on
lace yoke or collar, then laid away
for a day or two, then we'll shaken
out. will remove the soil.
When a room is to be closed for
several months work powdered boraS
into the edges of the carpets and un.
der the spots where heavy furniture
rests.
Fasten firmly at the center of back
tape or ribbon, which is run through
beading in underwear. This keeps il
from being pulled half out or lost en-.
tirely in laundering.
Hold the knife in a slanting manner
and follow the grain of the wood while
cleaning dough off a bread board. Also
do the washing of it away from the
iron sink, for the least grease and
black will get into the soft wood.
When ironing starched clothes. if
tho iron is dipped quickly into cold
water each time when taken from the
stove the starch will never stick and
the clothes iron smooth and so quick.
ly you hardly realize you're started
before you're done.

FASHIONS FOR FALL
COSTUME OF PROPERLY DRESSED
WOMAN DESCRIBED.
Hat Is a Hiah-Crowned, Wide.
erimmed Beaver, Suit of Broad
cloth In semi-Empirc Style
Wide Fur Scarf and Muff.

1t is impossible to give a better re-
sumo of the fall fashions in general
than by taking as text one modish
woman properly gowned. From hat
to skirt uch a woman illustrates ad-
mirably all the newest and smartest
tendencies.
The hat first. Then new high
crowned and wide brimmed beaver,
much wider in the back than in the
front. where the brim is lowered as
in the steeplechase hats of another
season. The hat itself is blue-black,
but the lining is of old-rosa satin, a
feature that is to be marked in au-
tumn millinery. Not only hats, how
ever, but suits also are to be lined
with silk or satin of strongly con-
trasting color-a sort of reaction from
the somber shades that in general
fashion has imposed upon us.
The willow plume, OF a slightly
brighter old rose, is arranged rather
far back on the right side, in the up-
standing military effect that we have
renamed the %chantecler. There is no
other trimming on the hat, the effect
aimed at being rather striking sim.
plicity than ornate elaboration.
The suit is of ~plum-colored broad
cloth, cut in a semi-empire style. with
ines closely conforming to the figure,
with a swallow-tail coat whose waist
line is higher than we have been &C.
customed to seeing Of late. The
sleeves are full-length and rather
loose, widened in sailor fashion at the
cuffs and ornamented with a row Of
five large white pearl buttons.
These buttons are repeated at the
side OF the skirt, which is narrow in
cut without being tight, and itself is
clinging and almost trailed at the bot
ton. The coat is double-breasted and
fastened by these same pearl buttons.
White, black and smoked pearls are
to be very much seen on button coun-
tiers this fall.
The wide fur scarf and muff are ad-
mirable examples of the autumn fash
ions in furs. Gray shares with white
and black the favor of the fur-wearers
(human, NOT Annually, and where the
nature of the fur will not allow of
The Charles Mix new era. (Wagner, Charles Mix County, S.D.) 1???-1911, 1910-10-21

very wide effects. the strips are sewn
together in striped effect. Another
hint to the wise: Line our nuns
with white satin. for white gloves are
to be very popular and they are easily
soiled.
Another distinctly fashionable touch
is the single rose, real or artificial
fastened into the fur scarf, Just where
1T crosses, and contrasting harmoni-
ously with the color of the costume
The craze for artificial flowers of rice
paper and silk tissue continues, and
roses are among the prime favoritea.
1t will be noted that our dainty lady
wear high, buttoned shoes. Of cloth
topped kid, and that. her separate
blouse is of a messaline silk, In color
midway between the plum of her suit
and the old rose of her plume.
Thus equipped, our maiden may 70
forth triumphantly into the world Of
fashion. AS we have said. she repre-
sants the sum total and the epitome
of the Paris styles for autumn.

Finnish Roll.

Mix enough shortening into entire
whcot bread dough, after the second
raising, to make it tender; on~e-fourth
cupful to each pound will usually be
sufficient; roll out %one-fourth inch
thick and spread with creamed butter;
then spread with dried cherries.
Sprinkle with cinnamon and grated
nutmeg; then roll as for jelly cake,
wetting the outer edge with water
and pressing together, forming in a
ring and fastening the ends together
with water; with shears cut into
slices one-half inch thick, allowing
each slice to lap a little on the previ-
Gus slice, SO the ring will remain in
tact when all are cut; let rise to dou.
BILE their size and brush with water
and bake; serve hot with stewed
cherries heaped in the center and GOV.
cred with a sauce, or serve with
coffee, emitting the fruit and sauce
in the center.

wire frame, with the muslin gathered
quite full, and corded on each wire.
The x little hat (No. 983a) is
fashioned of burnt straw, and partic-
ularly easy to trim. Ribbon or chif-
fon is swathed round the crown, and
would lock well in blue, with a bunch
of pink rose-buds on either side.
The quaint little bonnet (No. 984a)
will. | am sure, appeal to all mothers
