The Problem Of That Sunday Night Supper
BY MRS. CHRISTINE FREDERICK,

when desired There need be no un-
pleasant rising from the table. no
depriving the family of her presence,
because the hostess must serve from
the kitchen. This repast lends itself
particularly to a self service plan,
and thus gains in intimacy and
charm.
All of the ordinary roast. fry and
boil are outre In this rcpast. The
main dish should be particularly
appetizing and literally as well as
hgurativcly have ''pep.' in the Ian
euaee of the day. Eggs. shirred.
pleated. gathered, and tucked. with
garnishings of pimento. bacon. sar-
dimes, and tomato sauce make tooth
some tidbits. Sandwiches of all kinds
can be prepared in advance and save
space on the table. Some sort of
preserved fruit or salad instead,
with just snack Of cake. cookie or
tart-and that is all.
Paper plates and napkins offer
their services to the Sunday night
hostess. Most attractive decorated
sets come for a few cents, and after
adding their touch of color to the
meal. can be cheerfully dropped into
the waste receptacle, leaving moth
ing but the silver and cup or two
to wash. Here is a suggestion of
two for next Sunday night:
Oyster and bacon coils
Toasted Cheese sandwiches
Hot boullon
Canned strawbeI ries Sunshine cake
kidncJs and minced ham
SarGine and pimento sandwiches
Hot coffee
Orange Gelatine Fruit bars
Anchovy deviled eggs
ToaS I'D water crackers and cream
= cheese
Preserved ginger
Hot cocoa. WHIPPED cream
