"oh. who'll at the wedding supper
Ibe?" sang Mr.. Frog In the ancient
ballad of the frogs wooing. and the
chances are Mrs. Frog replied dis
consolately, About fifty guests, and
dear knows how we'll manage to feed
that crowd without a caterer! / don't
even know how much to PREPARED"
Many a hostess, or group OF hos
tesses has been in h same dilemma
when faced with the responsibility OF
planning q meal for a large company
of guests. In June the problem comes
to many households which must pre-
pare wedding feasts without the aid
of professional caterers. and for
church suppers. and public and priv
ate receptions the problem Is con-
slant. and many times only solved
after narrowing experiences of how
mot to do II.
! After much experiment and study
1T is now estimated that the proper
Quantity of food for fifty can be OBJ
tanned by multiplying the usual home
recipe which serves six persons by
eight. That is. simply use eight times
the amount of each ingredient re-
'uuired In the twill serve six" recipe,
and the result will feed fifty.
Suppose a hostess is planning a
wedding supper. to be served in buffet
style. The menu would probably in
clude a salad. rolls or biscuit, hot COT
fee, ice cream and cake. and punch
to be served from a bowl during the
reception.
What are the quantities necessary
TO serve fifty persons?
One quart of salad should serve
five persons. and fifty persons will be
amply supplied by ten quarts.
Allowing two rolls or biscuits for
each person provide nine dozen for
fifty guests. and two pounds of butter
to be made into small pats.
To make good coffee allow ~
pounds of ready ground, high-grade
coffee. For hot cocoa or chocolate
allow 1 pound OF ocoa to 10 quarts
of liquid, milk. or milk and water
mixed. Provide about $50 Jumps of
sugar for the beverage.
Ice cream, either brick or bulk,
should be ordered II made to pro-
vide for eight servings to each quart.
About eight quarts will be sufficient.
II a fresh fruit. or strip u Is
served with the cream 1 quart will
make ten servings.
As for cakes, four average-sized
loaf cakes will usually serve fifty, as
each cake can be cut in ten or twelve
slices. If small cakes are served al
low two for each guest.
Punch, to be served from a bowl
during n reception, should be provid-
ed in eight or ten-quart quantities.

suppers, have been estimated in guam
tity in the same way. Cafeteria and

two tablespoonfuls of any vegetable
constitutes one serving, and that one
pint can of peas. beans. corn. or other
vegetables should serve six persons.
In serving meats, one-third of a
pound per person is allowed in pur-
chasing raw meat. and II poultry is
TO be roasted the allowance is one
half pound each. II meat or poultry
is made into apple the amount for
each guest is reduced to one-quarter
pound.
In serving canned fruit two pieces
or slices is allowed to each serving.
A pie should furnish eight pieces
and a medium-sized cake can be
counted on for ten slices.
For baked custards, buildings. or
nodded desserts or salads-the usual
estimate is one-half pint 10 each
serving.
