The luncheon consisted of tomato

Then there was a fruit gelatine--a
red gelatine at that--and the only

was a cup of really good coffee that
we welcomed at the end.
The red Of the beets clashed with
the red of the dollhouse tomato,
while the red of the pimento came
right up and KILLED both.
Soft bread should not have been
served with the soup. Either a
crusty roll. thick slice of French
bread or a few crisp crackers would
have offered more contrast.
In fact, where the main dish-the
stuffed tomato--was both tomato
and red, Il would have been better
