SALAD WITH CHEESE
MANY WAYS 1T MAY be SERVED

Every Variety Has ITS Especial Form

YER Bases the Delight Of
Up-to-Dats Hostess.

AS well imagine a Punch without
Judy as salad without cheese. Its alb
sence makes the best mayonnaise OF
French dressing wanting in fiavor.
The hostess without Imagination
accepts the salad and cheese dictum
but does not glorify 1t. There are
housekeepers who buy cakes of cream
cheese-pineapple. Edam, RoQuefort
Gorgonzola. Brie. even the common
American product-and then serve
the choice of the family year in and
out.
1t is cut in the square chunks
passed on the same plate with the
same water thin butter thin or sailed
wafer in dreary monotony.
Variety is the spice Of salad as
we'll as of life. and great is the variety
in which cheese can masquerade.
II taste Is conservative and the fam
lily will not eat but one kind OF
cheese, then vary the service. Fas
cfnating are the new servers. There
are silver incrusted glass Jars with
heavily monogramed lids of silver to
beautify the porcelain jars that hold
certain cheese. They come in all
sizes. and there are cheese scoops In
proportion.
For large cheese that last for days
there are special glass-topped dishes
with silver base to prevent drying out
Some tops are Of rock crystal. Others
entirely of chased silver; again. glass
with silver overlap.
The Edam cheese is much more ap
petizing in Its silver holder Of mar
row prongs and broad base, with
deep silver scoop to match, than II

ordinary plate. Just here the thought
full hostess has portions of the cheese
loosened in the shell. as manipulating
the scoop at crowded table Ia not
easy.
Cheese balls. cheese squares. the
cheeses passed whole and cut with q
special cheese-knife. like Brie and
Gorgonzola, have special fiat dishes
dedicated to their service. Sometimes
they are of rock crystal. more often
of crystals with silver rim or deel
silver border. or their special plat
tiers in plain silver with open work
border. Always there is the long
handled cheese fork to facilitate
service.
Crackers are passed separately, but
some hostesses prefer the compart
ment dish made to accompany tht
salad course. This comes in rict
China. especially in Dresden: also II

like a basket. others are on pedestali
like a divided compete.
