I should think that the only way out
of your plight would be to find some
mutual friend and receive, an introduc-
tion to the young lady. If she has sent
you few post cards In return for
yours, that is tacit admission that she
would like to meet you.

At a family dinner when two guests are
present should the host cut the roast and
place portion on each plate at the table
or should 1t be cut In the kitchen and each
one one allowed to help himself from a platter
there is no maid. should the hostess remove
the plates and take them to the kitchen
salad be served and how3 How should
chops be served? Are bread and butter
plates used at very small dinnerg Thank

The better way would be for the host
to carve the roast at the table and help
each guest, asking them their preference
as to rare or well done cuts Peas
should be served In side dishes unless
the roast Is lamb, when it Is more
proper to serve a small portion of these
vegetables on the same plate with the
meat. The hostess should remove the
dinner plates before serving dessert.
Salad is served between the meat and
/, the dessert courses.
Chops should be placed on platter OF
chcv plate, garnished With parsley OF
| cress and served the same as any other
meat. Bread and butter plates are used
but are not essential at small dinners.
