these fourths with alternate mounds

The housekeeper owning a plank
has one of the easiest means of
serving vegetable dinners. For the
company dinner, arrange nests of
mashed potatoes in the center of
the plank and brown them deli
cately in the oven or under the
broiler. Arrange alternately mounds
of buttered carrots and string beans
around the nests. Just before
serving, slip a delicately poached
egg into each nest. Garnish with
parsley and serve at once. Baked
tomatoes may also be arranged in
the center of the plank, and
mounds of buttered onions, string
beans and spinach with egg.

How to Make the Most Of This
Intimate Occasion

How to Make the Most Of This
Intimate Occasion
The afternoon tea hour forms
a delightful opportunity for all the
little individual touches of hospital
ity which are difficult to introduce
into the merely formal call. AS the
custom of serving tea informally
when callers drop in at the tea
hour is becoming more and more
popular, every hostess will welcome
suggestions which will lend grace
to the occasion.
The formal afternoon tea calls
for card invitations and usually
takes the form of reception with
tea poured in the dining-room. The
small afternoon tea, on the other
hand, which is served quite inform
ally, suggests a cosy gathering or
few friends around a tea-table in
the living-room and is often termed
an intimate tea" If your guests
number only three or four, you can
group them so near the tea
that you, as hostess, can pass the
tea, sandwiches. and cake with ease.
If your guests number dozen or
more, your daughter, or a friend,
NAV pour the tea, while friends
assist in the serving or the guests
approach the tea-table to be served.
You may use either a tea-wagon
or rather low, medium sized tea
table in serving the informal after
noon tea.
On a large tray. group the tea
service, except the teapot, the
necessary small tea plates, cups,
and spoons, and place on the tea
table or wagon. The tea napkins,
folded and arranged in a neat pile,
may be placed on the tray or table.
1t is good form to place the tea
cups directly on the tea plate
rather than to include the use Of
the SAUCER.
With the tea-table and it's &C.
cessories arranged in the living
room, the piping hot tea, sand
| witches and cakes can be brought
in when the guests are ready to be
served. Some hostesses prefer not
to bring in the tray containing the

| tea, until the tea is to be poured.

Trim off the crusts evenly. put
under a weight and let stand sew
eral hours in a cool place. Cut
crosswise in thin slices and serve.
Celery Sandwiches.
Cut one-fourth inch slices of white
bread from a rather fresh, moist
loaf of bread. Remove the crusts
and spread the bread slices with
softened butter. Meanwhile, cut
stalks of cleaned celery into lengths
equal to the width of the bread
slices. Fill these stalks with Thou
sand Island dressing. Place a stalk
on the edge of each slice of bread
and roll the celery into the bread
like a jelly roll. Roll all the sand
witches in damp napkin and place
in the refrigerator for a few hours,
and the rolls should keep their
shape perfectly. The rolls may be
secured with skewers if served i'm
mediately.
Sweet Pepper Sandwiches.
Wash, seed, and chop three green
pepers. Add two pimentoes, one
half a small onion chopped very
fine, and four tablespoonfuls of

arrange on a plate with half OF
the sandwiches graham side up and
half white side up.
