PARTY REFRESHMENT

F you are entertaining your
| bridge club in the near future
you are undoubtedly racking
your brains for something bit differ
ent to serve and a new way to serve
it.
Wouldn't a buffet service from the
diningroom be a relief 20 both the
hostess and guests? And If the party
isn't a club party the move from the
tables to the diningroom makes for
greater sociability among the guests.
The setting of the table with flowers
and candles can be made so lovely
that the beauty Of the whole party is
enhanced.
Table Arrangement
The meticulous care with which the
table is arranged bespeaks an expert
enced hostess. Absolute order and
neatness must prevail. The silver ar,
ranged in rows, the napkins in piles,
the plates and cups In perfect balance
at opposite sides or ends of the table
and the sandwiches and cakes placed
with geometrical precision on plates
or trays-these details mean much to
the ease of service as well as to the
attractiveness of the table.
The centerpiece for the buffet lunch
con table can be high. If desired
Candles make lovely light in the late
, fternoon dusk and aid to the fes-
witty of the occasi' II. Four are used
in the center Of the table making a
square, and one can he used in each
corner Of the table as The hostess sees
fit. Shades are passe. so let the
candles throw their CLEANS unshaded.
The Menu
The menu may include tea and
coffee or chocolate, a salad, sand
witches, an ice and cakes. Sailed nuts,
olives and bon-bensl are usually pro-
vided.
Two close friends are asked to
pour" one at each end of the table.
Tiny individual salads are arranged
on a platter for each guest to help
herself These salads would be quite
enticing II jellied In molds Of hearts.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1923-11-06

Cut with sandwich cutters in the
shape of hearts or diamonds. Dip the
cutters In cold water before using.
Put each salad into a leaf of lettuce
and surround with mayonnaise. Do
not mask with the dressing as that
would spoil the effect Of the shape and
color.
A black salad Is made with prunea
as the foundation.
Nodded Black Salad
One pound prunes, cups water, 4
tablespoons granulated gelatin, cups
diced oranges, 1 cup nut meats, let
tuce, mayonnaise.
Wash prunes. Soak in cold water
for two hours, and cook in same water.
Simmer slowly until prunes are very
soft. Rub through strainer and add
enough boiling water to make four
cups. Soften gelatin in one cup cold
water. Stir into boiling prune puree.
Let stand until cool and beginning to
set. Add oranges and nut meats.
Mold, chill and cut as in preceding
recipe, using clubs and spades for
shaping.
Salad is attractive served in bright
red apples. Small beets Of uniform
size can be boiled and followed out
to hold fish or meat salad.

How About III

Dear Miss Lee: You say girls and boys
of IA and IL who are in love will get over
it. because it is nothing but puppy love"

that youth must have lover When children
are about B and & they have their sweet
hearts and when they get into their teens
they have their sweethearts II keeps up
Did you ever stop to think over some
poems you have read such as Ihat OIo
Sweetheart OF Miner" Do you think that
was puppy loveY" l don't.
Boys comes and go in girls life. vet
they cannot help doing II over and over
again. II would not be life without love,
because the heart demands love. had
when I in my teens; / grew with the
world and its ways and still had them. Now
] am too old to say / have them now, but
I have been watching the girls OF today
and they going through the same way
I went. Just think it is natural 70 love.
don't you?
Would you please give your ids9 ems Of l9ve'
Love is a beautiful gift heaven has
sent down to keep the world going in
the right direction; it is unselfshness,
sympathy, sacrifice. honor.
You express my idea of puppy
love" when you say boys come and
warn young people Of the dangers OF
puppy love. They are not old enough
to know when they have found the
right one" It is not that puppy
love is always forgotten; often 1t
grows into true love. But II must be
given time, and should not be taken
seriously as long as it still is in the
puppy love stage.
Every day girls and women write
to me Of their unhappiness because
they married when they were Is or
II. at the puppy love" age. Later
they realized their mistake. We all
remember our puppy love" days. We
cherish them But most of us are
glad we got through them safely.

COLT To LESLIE PRESCOTT,
CONTINUED.

I expect you are beginning to be
bored. little Marquise, with all these
descriptions of baby affairs, but feel
sorry, dear little shade OF yesterday,
that you never had the joys that l
have been describing to you.
Sydney had to leave right after the
christening. When we arrived home
I found pinned just inside the baby's
cloak a check for 81 900 and a tiny
note saying. "A nest egg for my god
child. Watch the nest fill up. The
goose that laid this one will surely
Put others beside it"
Do you know, little Marquise, that
I didn't even tell Jack I had found
that money? I was so afraid that It
would go just as the other $500 had
gone. That $500 1 had already re-
placed and deposited in the bank In
John Jr. name. To 1t the next morn
ing added Sydney's check.
'I am glad you Ike old Sgd" re-
marked Jack to me that night at din
ner.
I'm not sure that do. Jack"
why what's the matter? He is
the salt Of the earth. Almost every
other woman is mad about him"
did it eyer strike you, Jack, that
possibly your friend Sydney might
b. the father of little Jack?"
Good Lord Where did you get
that idea7" My husband hastily got
up from the table and walked to the
window. could see he was much
moved but before I could decide why,
he came back and standing behind
my chair he gripped my shoulders till
WINGED with pain.
Never let such a thought enter
your mind, Sydney Carton is the soul
Of honor. He would never foist his
child even on me, his dearest friend "
IT wasn't speaking OF foisting.
Jack"
so you think we cooked up the
scheme between us?"
could see that Jack was very
angry, but I could not tell whether
II was because I had found out the
truth or because he was angry at me
fol suspecting such a thing about his
friend.
Just the same, dear little Mar
quise, I still think that Sydney Car
ton Is little Jacks father, for surely.
as only Jacks friend, he would not
feel called upon to make the baby
such a magnificent present as a thou
sand dollar check.
There, little Marquise. am going
to stop talking and conjecturing about
Junior for a while.
