Add the green pepper and the cheese. Serve the sauce as soon as the cheese Is melt ed.

BY JOSEfhANE Bs GkHSONs
 When we entertain, deciding upon the menu for the party supper is an important problem-and often q puzzling one. Suppers planned for late in the evening should be com posed of interesting and unusual food; yet. for the sake of the hos tess, they should be easy to serve and require very little last minute preparation. Your guests, too, would prefer that you serve something light and simple, for most people, realize that 1t is not wise to eat an elabor- ate meal too near bed time.
 The wise hostess solves this prob lem by limiting her refreshments to one course. This may be salad, rarebit. waffles, or dessert and coffee but she serves only one course and not two or three. This is the best way to avoid having a meal that is entirely too hearty to be eat- en so late.
 The following single-course party suppers are easy to prepare and

LIFE ON AN OCEAN LINER but most of the time the only movement noted is "vibration."
 The vibration of steamship Is sometimes 50 strong as to take away the pleasure of a voyage. It is caused by the motion of the en- zines and propellers. It is especial ly strong at the brow and the stem of the ship. It causes many cases of seasickness.
