ART IN SERVING FOOD
HALF PLEASURE OF EATING is
THROUGH THE EYE.
Molds Play Large Part In Artistic
servIce-EverythIng From Fish

Hollow Ring is Favorite.

Half the pleasure OF eating Is
through the eye. If food is we'll serv.
ed and cooked, a meal is a success,
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, if 1t happens to be
1ellied 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.
