midwinter table decorations, both be-
cause they are cheerful-and becoming
-colors on cold weather, and also be-
cause red and pink roses and carna-
tons are so plentiful in winter. There
are several ways of coloring salads
red and pink. The dressing, If 1t Is of
the thick order, like mayonnaise or
any boiled dressing, may be colored
with a little beet juice or cranberry
Juice. The coral of lobster may also
be used for coloring 1t. Faint shades
