TO he too inattentiVe than to be too at

dinner.
A woman who has limited means
should cultivate the art of giving at
tractive and clever little dinners. She
should never attempt too much, too
large a number of guests or too many
courses.
Men admire a Wona who can make
her little dinners so charming that the

In planning dinner one should re-
member that a heavy soup will render
one Indifferent to the rest OF the dim
ner. A clear soup, however. will pre-
pare one for the enjoyment of the SOL
ids which follow.
The fish and entrees should not be
substantial enough to satisfy hunger
entirely, and the relishes should stimu-
late the appetite for she heavier dishes.
Roman punch. for instance. prepares
one for the enjoyment of the roast.
Olives go well with entrees of game.
French chestnuts boiled go we'll with
poultry. Sailed nuts are enjoyable be-
fore the sweet ~entrements.
At a formal dinner or luncheon a
canape, or Appetizer usually pre-
cedes the oysters. AT an informal din
ner or luncheon they are frequently
served instead of oysters. They are
placed on the ~service-plate after the
guests are seated.
If you serve oysters as a first course
do not serve them again during the
dinner or luncheon.
Tiny sandwiches of entire wheat,
graham or brown bread and butter are
served with raw oysters and, clans;

n GOD taste. good judgment and
~ an intuitiye sense of harmony are
necessary when one wishes to give Il
large and formal dinner, a. Eliza
bet. Biddle in an exchange.
For instance, good taste suggests the
proper thing in place cards, table deco
rations ard the menu for the dinner.
Good judgment dictates the appropri-
ate guests, the topics discussed during
the dinner and the form of entertain
ment selected for tho evening after
dinner Is oyer. A sense of harmony
means that the hostess never places
uncongenial persons beside one another
at Tue table, and il means that she
deity turns the conversation away
from disputed or d~isagreeable topics.
A g~arrulous man Will be put beside
a quiet little woman, who is content
to listen. A silent man will be put be-
side a talkativc and entertaining wom-
an; and a stupid guest who for yarl-
Gus reasons must be asked TO the DIM
ner. will be placed beside an intimate
friend. who is willing TO make a sacri-
flee for the sake of the host or hostess.
S~vrvousness, anxiety or annoyance
on the part of tho host or hostess dur
ing the serving Of the dinner will, as a
rule, spoil the enjoyment OF the entire
. party.
The successful hostess, therefore, Is
the woman who shares in the enjoy
ment of her guests. and who avoids
showing any nervousness and anxiety,
even il she feels them.
Too many hosts and hostesses Tx
their thoughts on the dinner n how
it is served. and show plainly that they
arc not really T. crested in the oil
versation. They will try to show an
interest in what their guests are talk

chase the Latin book and Bible Of

very distant. but he is also very at
tentive to me. He has never kissed

YOU know any reason he Is that way?

go out? DO o think he has another
girl? Trusting to see my answer In
