WHAT THE GRACIOUS
HOSTESS SAYS:
BY DELLA THOMPSON LUDEs
SUPPER

THE supper to which guests are in
L yited is pleasant and intimate
meal. One would never invite any
except closest friends to supper. This
meal is served from six-thirty to seven
o'clock, and may be made a most de-
lightful affair. The table is set for
luncheon, with small cloths and CEN
terpieces. Tall candles are used for
lighting and preferably without
shades. The tea or chocolate service
is set in front of the hostess, and the
host may serve his guests from his
end Of the table.
The Sunday night supper may be an
even more informal meal by placing
the food on the dining table or. buffet.
There are many ways in which the
gracious hostess may entertain infor-
mally, aside from the afternoon tea
and the luncheon. The chafing- dish
supper must naturally be a small en-
tertainment, and only congenial ,peo-
pie and intimate friends will be asked.
In this, as in any other simple form
OF entertainment, the background or
setting counts for a great deal. All
entertainment Is more or less a play,
and the stage should be set accord
ingly.
A small table that Will hold the
chafng dish and tray of ingredients
Is necessary. Plates, silver and
glasses or cups may be placed on an
other table, or on one leaf Of larger
one If you are fortunate enough to
have an old-fashioned drop-leaf table.
Anselectric chafing dish is more con-
venient than the alcohol, but we have
used one Of the latter for several
years.
Many enticing dishes can be made.
Here is one that goes by the ridicu-
lous and meaningless name Of rink
tum diddy. This is the way we
made it.:
Chop one good-sized onion very fine.
Strain one can Of tomatoes. Fork
two pounds Of cheese into bits. Beat
three eggs together in bowl. All this
can be done before the party. Cook
the onion until tender in tablespoon
full of butter directly over the fire.
Add the tomato and let it come to a
boil Stir in 9 pinch of soda Place
the hot water pan underneath and add
the cheese and stir until it melts, then
fold in the beaten eggs. Season rath-
er highly with paprika, about three
drops of tabasco sauce, tablespoon
full of worcestershire sauce, and add
salt at the very last. When it is of
creamy consistency serve .imme-
diately on crisp saltines.
Ginger ale goes best of all bever-
ages with this tasty concoction.

and make negligee just like this
one? 1t is very simple in its styling
and to purchase it ready-made, from

Trimmed with marabou are lovely

embroidered satins, also charmeuse in
lovely colorings, both vivid and pastel.
Some interesting negligees among
latest arrivals for spring are Of type
that closely resembles a daytime
frock. These are mostly of sheer ma

and plated. Often they have Innings
Of crepe matched to the collar and

reversible.

RACE BETTERMENT

a LBERT EDWARD WIGGAM In
n his recent book, "The Fruit of
the Family Tree" says that our lives
are largely the results of heredity and
not environment. In the same family
one child is physically weak, the 9th
er strong and robust. Efforts of the
one child meet with success, while
children subject to the same environ
ment develop morally in marked con-
trast. The one is controlled by high
moral ideals, the life Of the other Is
dominated by selfshness and immoral
fly. How is the difference to be ac-
counted for? Mr.. Wiggam would have
us believe that heredity and not en-
vironment explains the difference. Un-
doubtedly Mr.. Wiggam has made a
valuable contribution to science in the
argument presented In his book. Even
though he may prove his point scien-
tifically, 1t does not eliminate the
moral obligation in which everybody
shares in life for the reason that
heredity will always have to make al
lowances for the environment in which
the contribution of heredity Is to live
and develop.
Environment assists In correcting
many of the errors which heredity
passes on and overccmes many Of It's
evil tendencies. Environment may not
create the conditions under which a
person begins life but 1t has much to
do with the influence under which
that life is to be developed. Heredity
excuses no one from the obligation he
owes family, friends and the CON-
munity in which he lives. 'rIf farm
er plants potatoes In rich soil and
then does not save the big ones for
seed, but continues to plant all the
offspring, will the rich soil improve
the stock?" inquiries Mr. Wiggam Ger
tainly not. But, if the offspring hap
pens to be all the farmer has to plant,
the manner In which the soil is cared
for will have an important effect upon
the result of the potato crop. The
conscientious discharge of moral obli-
CATION bears vital relation in deter
mining environment to which heredity
makes its contribution. Heredity alone
argues for fatalism. Environment
makes possible the exercise of free
will and the liberty Of choice In deter
mining life's values; so that one can
make much out of his life even though
he had a poor start and has had to
meet serious obstacles which heredity
placed in his way.
