Some Simple
Luncheons
BY MRS. FRANK LEARNED

~aE luncheon hour Is a cOrven-
lent time for women to enter
- tain each other. The meal Is
ordinarily an informal one. II may
be substantial If people are m the
habit OF eating very little in the ear
" morning and are therefore num-
CRY at midday.
A substantial meal does not mean
necessarily a profusion Of food A
few well cooked, palatable dishes, hot
and well served. are always accepta-
BILE, AS a rule people prefer good,
solid food to q variety Of dainty TIL
fies. Hot things should be very hot
and cold things very cold. II ID IN
excusable to serve lukewarm food or
to have salads that are not thor
oughly chilled
She Must Decide.
The hostess must decide whstfIsS
the size of the dining room and Ia
cfltties for serving admit Of having
more than six or eight guests. This
number of persons is best for lunch
con. Conversation is then easy and
general Intimate friends or friends
who are not ceremonious had best be
invited. Unless one is in the haon
of entertaining It is best always to
begin in a simple way. And then
much depends on whether there Is a
good maid TO serve the luncheon.
In a modest household the hostess
NAV be obliged to make some OF the
preparations herself. make the salad,
for instance, or the jelly, or other del
icacV. She may do well TO set the
table. arrange the flowers or fruit, and
see that linen, glass, china and sill
yer are all in perfect condition.
n the table is of mahogany or OF
good uuartered oak, the bare surface
is used at luncheon, with nne CEN
terpiece of white linen drawnwork or
embroidery. Under the plates ara
fine doilies.
Unless the table is handsome a ia
blecloth is used. All table linen must
he white. spotlsss and we'll ironed.
Lace trimmed or white embroidered
cloths are used by those who can
afford these expensive appointments.
Napkins at luncheon are not as
large as those used for dinner.
Candles or lights are not used in
spring or summer. Daylight Is suffi-
cient and much more appropriate.
A well arranged dish OF fruit may
be in the center OF the table, or some
growing ferns. or a potted plant. Yell
low daffodils make a sunshiny efIect
!
flowers, ferns and delicate grasses
are effective. When flowers ara used
IL is best to have masses OF the same
flower or color and not a mixture.
In Nature of Entrees.
A wide choice In a menu Is allow
able for a luncheon. Heavy or fried
( things should be avoided. Clam bouil-
/ lon with whipped cream is a nice first
/ course, and is served in buoillon cups.
! other courses may be in the nature
l Of entrees. Roasts are not served at
! luncheons Such things arB chosen
| as fish or Holsters, omelets, French
chops with string beans, or broiled
! chicken with green peas; salads, Ices,
/ iellies or fruit. Coffee Is the con-
Guiding course simple menu may
be soup or fruit chops, with one
vegetable, tomato salad, mayonnaise,
dessert and coffee.
