A Reception for $40.

An afternoon reception is a popular
form of entertaining, being informal and
not SO expensive as to make 1t possible
only for the few. In fact, ten-dollar
bill will cover the cost Of entertaining
from thirty-nve to forty guests-that is,
If the spending is carefully planned It
will provide chicken salad, ices, a sim
pile punch. tea, bouillon, sandwiches, salt
ed almonds, small cakes and bonbons,
quite tempting menu,
In planning the expenditure I would al
low SO for the salad. This would buy
two good fowls not under four pounds
each, a pound Of veal, half a pound of
mushrooms, plenty Of celery and the
leaves this quantity would make large
number Of portions.
Four quarts of ice cream ordered in dif
ferent navors at 35 cents a quart will be
$1.4O, and two pounds of small cakes at
60 cents a pound will be S1.20. They run
about fifty to the pound, and are very at
tractive to look at apart from their dc
licious eating The tea, including sugar,
cream and lemon. will take another 30
cents, allowing tea % cents. cream Is
cents. sugar cubes, cents, and the lemon
5 cents.
Into the punchbowl will go four oranges.
four lemons, two pounds Of sugar. a
small grated pineapple or part of a can,
one pint of tea, half a bottle of cherries,
half pint of rum. two bottles of car
donated water and one quart of cold wa
ter. Ice may be added or not. Unless
the weather is very warm II is usually
dispensed with. One dollar will cover
the cost of this beverage.
For the bouillon buy one dozen cubes,
dissolve in the proportion of one cube to
a cup of water and add one glass OF good
sherry to the whole by way of fiavoring.
This will provide plenty, since it Is served
in very small cups. Thirty-hve cents
should cover the cost.
Three to four loaves Of bread will cut
the sandwiches For filing there is much
variety-cream cheese, nuts, chopped
olives, lettuce. canned lobster, crab meat,
peanut and tongue. A homemade dress
ing would keep the cost down to about
so cents. allowing % cents for the dress
Ing and II for the bread. The filings
are quite inexpensive.
There should be dainty dishes of bon
bons standing upon the table in variety
of colorings. These will probably cost
-four Dishes 81. and dishes of salted al
monds so cents.
This will leave a little money for pur-
chasing waters to serve with the bouil-
lon or in any other way that appeals to
the hostess.

Chemistry of Food.

Food has two offices to perform. The
repair of muscular waste and the sup
plying of the body with fuel to keep its
heat up to 9s.6 degrees.
1t has been proved by chemical analysis
that the body requires from four to five
ounces of heat-producing food to one of
muscle building. We see that the chief
part OF what we eat must be used as
fuel, and this gives US the key to the
proper proportion of different foods.
We find that the substance richest in
the muscle-makng element is called nj
trogen tor protein) in the laboratory. 1t
is found in its most perfect form in the
albumen in the white of an egg. The
lean or red parts of beef. mutton and
chicken contain almost as much. about
Is per cent. The curd of milk contains a
high per cent. 1t is also to be found in
grain, peas, beans, etc.
If muscle feeding were the only thing
to be thought of, these would be perfect
foods, but we remember that for one
ounce that goes for muscle five must go
for heat. and we must know what foods
provide this.
This heat element is called carbon, and
is to be found in three variations-in
starch, fats or oils anad sugars. (These
are also called carbohydrates).
The starches are first and most impor-
tant OF these three ana are 1Ound aDun-
dainty in the vegetable kingdom; grains
of all kinds and vegetables are rich in
starch. One-half of the bulk of dry
starch is carbon; the remainder is oxy-
gen and hydrogen in exactly the proper
ton as in water; and in that wonderful
laboratory, the human stomach. the car
bon is separated from the starch and the
oxygen and hydrogen combine to form
water.
Next comes the fats and oils. The oils
used for food are principally butter, lard.
Next come the fats and oils. The oils
tain about so per cent carbon, butter hav-
ing the least. In grains. oil |. also pres
ent in varying quantities. being per
cent in cornmeal in oatmeal and . in
wheat
The last is sugar, which contains about
40 per cent carbon. 1t is contained in
greater or less quantity in all vegeta-
Bile substances. Milk contains from to
6h per cent sugar, according to its rich

Rice Coffee.

II coffee produces nervousness. rice cof-

this brown cup of rice in the oven, care

Breakfast Coffee.

French cafe au lait is less likely to
cause indigestion than coffee taken with
cream. Clear coffee is, OF course. the
most digestible, but this seems bitter and
unpleasant to many. To prepare the cafe
au lait properly the coffee must be very
clear. The milk, unskimmed, should pc
heated in a double boiler Just to the boil
ing point. but not long enough for finn
to form on the top. Then the hot milk
and the clear hot coffee should be poured
together in the coffee cup until the right
strength Is attained
