QUITE frequently 1 receive in
" quiries asking for menus that the
housewife may prepare and serve for a
few guests. One housewife writes that
she would like simple menu; she never
seems to have any luck when she has
guests in for dinner. although she
usually IL a fairly good cook. While
! was in the city where this letter came
from, / had young housewife call to
visit me, and after inquiring a bit |
found that on the day she had planned
part of the day to clean house, for she
really felt that this must be done on
this day.
Overheated and tired to exhaustion,
she then began the preparations for her
dinner and it is small wonder that she
did not have dainty and appetizing
and attractive meal, after she had spent
the day in cleaning the house.
Now, instead of driving up to the
last minute, this little lady plans her
work in this manner and she finds that
she net only enjoys having dinner
guest, but that she is also becoming
famous as q real hostess who provides
delectable foods for her guests.
IL she selects Wednesday or Thursday
as day for dinner. she has all the
cleaning done the day before; this
leaves her time to market early and to
prepare, in the early part of the day,
the various dainty tidbits and hors
d'oeuvres that go 80 far to turn a com
mon place Gkal into a banquet.
After returning from market she pre-
pares the vegetables, mayonnaise, salts
the almonds, and if the dessert is de-
cided upon, it can be arranged. This
work Is all done by noon. After lunch
she dusts thoroughly and by l O'Clock
Is ready for her bath and good nap.
Starting about 4 80 T.. NJ, she ar
ranges the table and starts the actua
preparations for the dinner, and when
the meal is ready to serve she is happy
and fresh looking, and she really en-
joys the serving. She has no maid ant
Just lately-at my suggestion-she has
started to train the young daughter o
q neighbor to help her serve. This is
splendid work. for it gives the young
ster poise and dignity, as well as /
knowledge of housewifely parts.
If you are planning to do this do no
oyerburdcn her at first with numerous
rules just teach her TO place all food
from the left and remove all dishes from
the right. And to remove every disl
but the water glass and brush up th'
crumbs before serving the dessert. j
Won have tea cart, this Is but th'
work Of few minutes.

Dicks story of the midnight fight in
Kimberley came back to Mary's mind.
Dick must be warned Shadows were
gathering round him. These people In
this country house-they were all at
heart antagonistic to him, each in his
cwn peculiar way.
Julian Nandaveer was a rascal who
would rob Dick Of his diamond or his
money or his reputation. The Cinga :
lee was but catspaw in the game
but hadn't he already tried TO murder
Dick?
Eve Rochester pretended that she
cared for Dick-but she had lied about
him. She didn't know the meaning of
the word affection. Material advance
ment, worldly comfort-these were the
things she wanted; these were the
things for which she would bctray a
man. Hadn't Mary actually witnessed

We might call almost any of the
formal summer frocks n silk shake.
For apparently they don't mind how
many different kinds of silk they mix
up in the same model. Thus, georgette
is often combined with crepe de chine
and foulard with taffeta or anything
else.
TNircta, by the way, either AZ an in
grcdent in one of these compose frocks
or all by itself, seems to be just as
much IN the ascendancy as ever. Ger
tanly one can refer to innumerablc
little summer capes for afternoon and
evening wear that are made Of this
silk, and certainly no young girl can
make a better selection for the wrap
in which she wishes to survey with him

Planning to Arrange the Menus
The thought today leans toward ar.

be worked out in one hour. If the after.
dinner coffee is to be served in tn,
living room or on the porch.
Arrange a centerpiecc as a broad
low arrangement in the center of tn,
table; tall flowers or a vase obstruct
the view. \ fiat bed Of moss and fern,
with few flowers is very attractive
BE sure TO have some candles, eithc,
the individual stick or the low. fin,

using the candles without shades make
a very attractive touch to the table
Here is word about the candle itself
Dip 1t in strong solution of salt an,
water and then lay on ice to chill
This will prevent the wax from tlowin,
too freely.
Arrange the silver and china nm,

bedraggled and dusty as her short legs
toiled on, making no headway against
that Overwhelming mass OF humanity
above and around her.
But mother pushed forward, leaning
over now and then to give a proud look
at baby.
Trolleys passed them all the time, but
there was never thought In mother s

up the street.

to be seen, and she was going to have
her seen.
