SERVING Dinner.

With the help of this suggestion
women who do their own work and
have a good deal of company can ar
range things so that with the aid of
their tea wagons they can serve four
course dinners without getting up
from the table or leaving the room.
The cold dessert has presented many
problem, as we'll as the hot main
course. One way to keep things hot
after they are ready for the table is
to put the serving dishes into home
made "fireless" fixed up for the pur-
pose. Line large candy box with
asbestos and paint 1t white. Tightly
covered, things keep hot in it for If
teen or twenty minutes. giving time to
get the first course out of the way.
When you do not, need this box to
keep the main course hot, use it to
keep the dessert cold. 1t delays the
melting Of ice cream, for instance.
