Returning Woe.

Speaking OF dinner parties, it is being
remarked that slowly but surely the old
and disheartcning style of putting all the
knives, forks and spoons on the table at
once is becoming new again. 1t looks
terribly discouraging and cutters the
table up awfully. Instead of bringing
in the table ware to be used on the
forthcoming course, charitable act
that insures you against the crime OF
eating an oyster cocktail with butter
spreader instead OF bar spoon, every
spoon, knife and fork owned and bor-
rowed by the hostess is spread out be-
side the covers in fiendish array. 1t is
distressing to use the wrong fork on the
salads, distressing to you as we'll as the
salads. If you use the wrong fork
and the salad is made Of tough vegeta
bles, the salad is apt to roll off its plate
and fly in your face or the lap Of some
otner guest. Then you could never get
over that. To use the wrong fork and
then ruin somebody's dress is terrible
cup of bitterness. The only thing to do
in case all the table ware is laid out is
to use the things the way they come for
the separate courses, and should you
find yourself eating peas with knife,
upbraid your hostess for having the
knife in the wrong order.
