Dear Mrs. Thompson: How
should I, serve a luncheon for a
small company?
Is it proper to serve the plates in
the kitchen and take them to the
table?
Please tell me how the different
courses are served. Is the salad
brought on with the vegetables or
as q course by itself?
Is soup always served!
YOUNG HOUSEKEEPER.
You will probably find it helpful
to get a book at the library which
will tell you at length about ar
ranging the table and serving.
Many cookbooks contain this infor-
nation.
II there is a butler or q maid 1t Is
all right to serve before taking
the plates to the table. II, how
ever, you serve your own dinner,
you will find it less confusing to
serve when the guests are seated
at the table.
The courses are as follows:
LIST. Soup.
End. Fish.
Sd. Meat and vegetables.
4th. Salad.
9Th. Dessert.
9Th. Coffee.
In order to save steps the salad
is often brought on with the meat
course.
1t is not imperativei to have II
soup course. Very often fruit
cocktails are substituted. Grape
fruit cut up and sugared makes a
tempting fruit cocktail. II desired
other fruits can be added.

more nourishing gthantoast or bread.
kZwieback is bread twice baked. ~

renders it more soluble, though I
