for White Sauce.

Milk toast, cream soups. creamed
vegetables, creamed fish and scalloped

is thickened into a sauce. thick or thin.

stir in the flour, add the milk gradu-
ally, and cook until thickened, stirring
constantly unless double boiler is
used. All measurements are level in
these recipes.

economical as it eliminates leftovers.
When candles are used for lighting
the table, one may have the ineXpens-
i've glass candle sticks and the shades
may be made at home, having any col

candle coming through colored shades
makes most attractive table.
Stemmed glasses are used for cock
tails as well as desserts. while the
handled cups are used for punches
and sherbets.

silver and highly-colored china Is not
found on tables where good taste is
used.
Dainty service need not mean large

are making her hotel their home, and
she should be able to size up applicants
for rooms without hesitation.
The desk clerk comes into direct

toned at the desk in the main lobby,
and must be ready to answer all sorts
of questions regarding not only the no.

in appearance, have tact, courtesy and
unfailing good humOr.
The floor clerk accepts packages, an
swers phone calls, pays for c. o. ID.

for guests. She receives, sorts and de-
livers the mail for her floor. And she,
too, answers questions.
