DAY LUNCH

May dayS-whether or not they

beautifully to charming festivi-

opportune for the hostess who
wishes to entertain. 1t is a ira
ditional holiday all over the coun-
try, and many households will
be converted into gay rendez-
vous for weekend guests,
Luncheon menus should be
marked by individuality rather
than formality, and dainty and
colorful foods should feature the
menu. A four-course luncheon
might include frozen cocktail,
meat and vegetables, a salad, a
dessert and coffee.

these days, if you wish to give
your family a treat, is strawberry
pie.
Either the two-crust pie, the

Guinea Hens Are
G0n1iest in Flavor

OF all domestic birds the
guinea is the "gamiest" in flavor,
and for this reason they are
growing in popularity and so are
becoming increasingly scarce and
expensive. Also the guinea fowl
has very little fat Of its own so
you will have to add extra fat
when cooking to give the meat
flavor.
