DOMESTIC SCIENCE ENTERTAINS.
Class of 1918 Shows What They Can
Do In Culinary Way.

Particular interest attaches to the
dinner party given on Thursday even
ing, May 4, at the high school, by the
girls OF the class of 1918 Domestic
Science Department. The affair came
as a sort of climax of the years work,
and has been looked forward to for
weeks by the girls. Not only was the
occasion especially enjoyable, but
the well-balanced menu exceptionally
prepared and faultlessly served was
a practical demonstration of the sue
cess that the course has attained.
Covers were laid for thirty-six, the
guests including the members of the
school board, their wives, or husbands,
the members of the teaching force,
and few others. From the decorat-
ing of the dainty place cards, and the
laying of the table to the baking of
the bread and the washing of the dish
es the responsibility for the affair
rested entirely with the girls Every
thing served represented their handi-
work.
An allowance of soc a plate was
made by Mrs Servis, the instructor,
and so remarkable were the results
achieved that the guests were almost
incredulous AS a matter of fact, in
their ultimate accounting, the young
hOusekeepers found that their expen-
diture averaged precisely 26c a plate
The following menu, in the light of
ing:
suit cocktail
Jellied chicken-creamed peas in
puffs.
Potatoes Au Gratin.
PistachiO salad-wafers.
Olives-jelly marmaIade.
Nut bread-white bread.
Peach sherbet-cake.
Coffee.
The color scheme was green and
gold, the tables, which were laid in
the laboratory, being attractive with
tulips and jonquils. No set program
of after-dinner speeches followed the
dinner, but lavish and sincere were
the compliments bestowed upon the
youthful hOstesses. 1t is expected
