though the quantity and variety Of the
food may be limited.
Molds play a large part in this
dainty service. Everything, from FISH
TO dessert, can be nodded. Even the
soup might be, II It happens to be
jellied consomme, and new shapes are
constantly brought out.
The ordinary mold is Of heavy tin,
but the woman who objects to using
tin. especially for acids, can buy
earthenware or aluminium. These
last two cost more, and in them there
are fewer shapes.
Various sizes can be had, from
quart to many quarts. The very large
ones are made to order. Individual
molds are also popular, though the
large ring or form shapes are more
convenient and more fashionable for
general use.
Probably the favorite mold for most
purposes is a hollow ring, round or
oval The round ones are better lik-
ed, but either shape is good. These
come with lid for desserts that must
be frozen, and without one for aspices,
mousses, blanc manages and vegeta-
bles.
With one Of these ring molds the
clever hostess can even glorify hash
or vegetable leftovers. Macaroni made
into a timbale and put In ring. with
the center filled with creamed chick
en-. lamb or fish, makes an apPetizing
luncheon dish.
Mashed potatoes may be quickly
formed into a hollow ring with one OF
these molds, the center being filled
with lamb chops, creamed sweet
breads OF fried chicken.
For salads and desserts the ring
mold Is invaluable. For the former
an aspic is usually made, plain OF
vegetable, and the center is filled with
any desired mixture in fruit salad, oil
with a meat or fish salad, or even
mayonnaised celery or shredded let
tuce with a sour cream dressing
An attractive salad is made by US
ing two sizes OF oval or round moldI
that at into each other. In the outel
and larger one is put a white CHECKER
aspic, and in the inner one tomato
aspic. The center is filled with cubes
Of grape fruit, apple and maraschin'
} cherries dotted thickly over the tol
and well mixed with mayonnaise.
A separate dish OF mayonnais'
{ should be passed with most molde'
salads, as It Is not easy to get enough
dressing without destroying the ar
pearance Of the form
Another appetizlng effect is had b
using a round ring mold and fillin
