rather than a meal of light triflcs. such

reason give them an old fashioned sup.

When planning supper, keep in
mind that the men folks like comfort,
and TO overcrowd about the table will
surely spoil the meal. Allow fully
twenty -four inches Of table space for
each man. You can arrange the table
early, placing the various accessories
in place.
When served with meat dishes men
usually ask for highly seasoned sauce,
horse radish, catsup. chilli sauce or mus
tard.
They will eat for appet!zers such
things as olives, pickles, radishes. celery,
oyster cocktails. fruit salads. anchovies

this down and trimmed off the branches
all except tiye limbs that forked off
from the trunk away at the top. Each
ot these five limbs curved outward and
then upward.
At the tip Of one OF tic limbs the little
9d gray man set up a tiny bungalow,
