it, jerked it through his teeth and
struck the match. Then he lighted the
candle. Though we were relieved by
the temperance Of light, Edgar and |
threatened the guide so vigorously that
he promised TO burn the head of no
more snakes while we we're in the cave
with him.
As we Travelled further, we kept a
Lookout for stnlagmites and stalactites,
but found none. The flood water prob
ably wash them away, for they surely
must tend TO form in this limestone
cave. 1t seemed certain the channel
was in straight line. Evidently the
erosition of the current must be caus-
ing 1t to grow larger and larger.
After we had travelled what we es-
tlmated TO be a quarter of a mile of
the cayernous channel we decided to
come out of it, After being in dark
ness, which We could both feel and see
for four long hours, we emerged. The
chill Of the waters of the cave was
soon removed before a roaring fire.
More hardy adventures may some
times make a determined effort to

course is permissible at any season.
Salads and entrees are always spe-
cial features at luncheons. Roasts
never appear. Coffee Is usually
served in the drawing room.
Guests remove their wraps and
wells, but hats are kept on. Gloves

When it is a very informal luncheon,
gloves are removed before going into
the dining room.
The hostess may lead the way into
the dining room. walking beside a
guest. or she may ask her friends to
preceded her. Guests do not go in to
luncheon arm IN arm.
At the informal luncheon, as at
the informal dinner, the hostess tells
her guests where to sit. At the for
nal luncheon place cards are neces-
sary.
Whether luncheon is formal or
informal. the guests are not expected
to remain more than half an hour
after luncheon unless cards or some
other entertainment is to follow.
The time is usually set for 80

Chronic coughs and persistent colds

OF all known drugs, creosote is rec
ognized by the medical fraternity as
the greatest healing agency for the
treatment of chronic coughs and
colds and other forms of throat and
lung troubles. Circumcision contains,
in addition to creosote, other healing
elements which soothe and heal the
inflamed membranes and stop the ir-
ritation while the creosote goes to

servant passes him each plate as
needed from the side table, and when
It is filled. places it before each
guest from tho left.
The fish may be served by the host
and passed in the same way as the
soup.
But my advice to the hostess who
wishes to give her guests quick serv-
ice and hot food is to have the carv-
ing done in the kitchen and the food
kept hot until served. However,
every woman knows her own hus-
band best, and it is up to her to know
also whether or not she may risk his
displeasure in preference to running
her guests digestion.
At the little dinner of which I was
speaking we were fortunate enough
not to have a carving host. so that
all of the courses were served from
the side table-hot.
The table was set as for a formal
dinner but not so deliberately. Every
hostess must remember that even at
formal dinners true hospitality does
not lie in inviting guests to lavish
display of flowers, viands and wines
with the object of astonishing them
by the profusion. My friend used
only flowers and candles for deco
ration.
While 1 am on the subject 1
might mention that any millinery eff
feet such as ribbon and lace furbe-
lows are not only in bad taste for
dinners but should never be used as
! table decoration for any occasion
not even for a christening!
! A plain white damask cloth with
pad" is always in good taste, and a
| fine handkerchief linen cloth. lace
inserted and embroidered, is in good
taste only when used without any
lining at all on a good looking table.
If only one cloth is used it should
hang about 10 inches from the edge
Of the table. Doilies similar to those
used for luncheon are very much in
vogue, but should be used only on a
table made of handsome wood and
one without blemishes or scratches.
| The doilies may be round or square,
e-inserted and edged or embroid-
| cred.
The hostess dress for an informal
| dinner may be an afternoon frock,

Gentlemen do not offer their arms
to the ladies going in to dinner on
such occasions. The hostess and the
ladies' usually go in the dining room
first and the gentlemen follow.
No place cards are used and there
fore the hostess tells each guest
where to sit.
The informal dinnep may be held at
any time between 7:15 and o'clock.
In the fashionable houses when there
is no going out afterward it is usu-
ally scheduled for o'clock, and dur
ing the summer months often as late
as $50.
Luncheon, Formal and Informal
The appointments of the table and
service at luncheon do not differ
from those at dinner, with the ex-
ception of the cloth The luncheon
table Is covered with doilies, the cen
ter one being large and the place
doilies small or if the table is the
refectory type a lace runner should
be used
At luncheon bread and butter
plates are used and placed at the left
of each place. Butter is placed on
them and rolls. toast, hot biscuits
or mullins are passed. Rolls are not
at each place as at dinner. A nap
kin, plainly folded, is placed on each
service plate.
Candles are Inappropriate for
luncheon except in cases where the
room is SO dark as to render them a
necessity. Flowers and dishes usual
ly carry out the color scheme for
luncheon, but the flowers as we'll as
the menu should be chosen in ac-
cordance with the season of the year.
In the winter the first course may
be grapefruit or fruit cocktail. The
other courses may be clam bouillon

TO plunge your hands into water Is
a sign of disturbance. To drink
water signifies a marriage or birth IN
your family. To spill water Is
warning to guard your words be-
cause you are about to say or reveal
something you had better keep to
yourself. To have water splash on
you is an omen OF small gains and
to find yourself sporting In water in
company with others, whether 1t be
the ocean a river, lake or pool, Is
r. certain forerunner of a jolly oc
casion.
If you dream of falling into water
then swim on to shore, a happy
thought will strike you which will
result in much profit. If, after the
plunge. you feel yourself drowning
you will sustain a severe money loss.
If you see waterfall you will take
an unexpected and pleasant trip, and
If your vision shows you one or
more very small and narrow brooks,
someone plans to surprise you with
pleasant visit.
Dreams referring to trips on water
and to things that happen during
these trips belong into an entirely
different class and of these | will
speak some other time

terpret dream experiences sent to

THE FORMAL DINNER
ny JULIA HART
Miss Lydlg HOyt)

The formal dinner Is quite delights
fu1 once In while, 1t Is true, par
ticularly when one has something
new in the way of Jewel or gown
to show off, but 1 believe that 1t is
the little dinner, given formally, that
is the most enjoyable of all enter
tainments.
1 recall that one of the most de-
lightful informal dinners 1 ever at
tended was given by a former school
chum OF mine whom 1 visited in
Chicago. 1 hadn't seen her in several
years, and 1 had met her husband
only once or twice, so l didn't quite
know what to expect. There were
three other guests present when l
arrived, all strangers to me, but my
friend was fortunate enough to pos
sess the knack of making everyone
feel comfortable the moment they
entered her home. This, by the way,
is the most essential quality of a
good hostess So that even before
we all sat down to dinner she made
each of us feel like one of the fam
lily.
Except .that one may omit either
the soup or the appetizer, the little
dinner for six need not be different
from the average formal dinner. An
informal dinner is fundamentally the
same as the formal with but few ex-
ceptions. One of these is that If the
host has a penchant for carving, he
may satisfy it. In this case the
