Glassware may be old or new, beau
colored or plain.
Water goblets are on the right
Just above the tip of the knife.
Glasses are set along the table with
exquisite precision. making per-
fect line. Silver is also set in per-
feet alignment at each and every
corner. Tables should be exactly
set and have the most precise bal
ance.
The Order of Service
OF course, the menu has some
thing to do with the order of serv-
ice. If the first course is cold
one, such as fruit or shelfish
cocktail, it may be in place when the
guests come to the table.
For our purpose of outlining each
step of the service we can concoct
a menu such as would serve in the
average household for an informal
dinner. First would come cream of
Mushroom soup with toasted bread
rounds. The main course can be
broiled steak with mashed potatoes,
with, we will say. two vegetables,
creamed lettuce and buttered car
rots. Our salad can be a simple
one of lettuce and orange, with
which cheese sticks are passed
Dessert can be a pudding. Coffee
is the beverage.
Service plates are useful in in
formal dinners in protecting the
cloth and in removing the soup
course. Lay them first to mark the
positions of the covers; next lay the
silver, which for the meal outlined
above would include soup spoon,
dessert, knife, salad fork. and din
ner fork Place the knife with cut
ting edge turned in, about an inch
from the service plate, at the right.
To the right of the knife place the
spoons with bowls facing up. Far
therest from the plate at the left
place the dinner fork; next to it,,
closer to the plate, the salad fork,
both with tines upward.
The water glass is placed just
above the point of the knife and the
breaI and butter plate lust above
the ti2 of the fork. The butter
spreader is placed across the latter
! plate parallel to the edge of the
table, with the handle toward the
right.
The napkin may be placed to the
left of the forks, or. if the first
course is not in place when the
guests are seated, across the service
plate Water glasses should be fill
ed three quarters full Just before
dinner is announced, butter balls
or pats set on the bread and butter
plates, and relishes or jelly placed
on the table. Place the filled water
pitcher either on the table or the
serving table. Light the candles
and set a chair at each place.

Bacon has better flavor when
cooked over slow fire. Lay it in
a cold skillet and heat slowly. Turn
frequently. As the fat fries out,
drain off into a bowl or cup. In
this way the bacon will have a sweet
flavor and still be of the desired
2rispness.
French dressing should always be
thick. This is easily accomplished by
putting all of the ingredients in a
small covered jar and shaking until
the mixture thickens.

BREAKFAST PARTY

/ Entirely out of the ordinary were
/ the decorations for the attractive
breakfast party given recently by
Mrs. r. p Pope for her class, The
Climbers, Of the Presbyterian
church.
The affair took place at the Pope
home. 549 Holt avenue, and in the
center of the long table was a ninia-
ture castle. On one side of the cas-
tie was the land of things as they
seem," the castle itself represented
things as they are" and on the
other side was the land of things
as they should be-
Each Symbolical detail was care
fully worked out, and in the castle
there were tiny mirrors, reflecting
people as they are. while the tower
of the castle represented the tower
of truth, lighting the way to the
land of things as they should be-
Even the place cards, tiny mirrors,
were in keeping with the theme.

the girls participated followed the
same analogy.

Maybe 1t Just
Fiddled Away


A musical urge might land some
hotel burglar in Jail, = deputy
sheriffs can locate a violin by its
music.
But deputies are engaged today
i'll heated argument as to just
what clues to follow in their search
for the violin stolen from Harriet
Harpster's room in the Park View
hotel, Brawley, yesterday after
noon.
One officer with musical inclina-
tion argued that, since the violin
had q new set OF pegs. it might
have walked away by itself. A pa
tient explanation of the use Of pegs
in violin snuffed out this possi-
bility.
Another facetious officer sug-
gested that it couldn't be such a
very good violin, since it was cracked
near the chin rest. He drew this
inference from personal experience,
declaring the last time he got
cracked near the chin rest he had
not been so good.
The fact that one tip of the bow
was broken off, said another, might
explain the crack near the chin
rest.
Nevertheless, officerial ears to-
day are attuned to violin music,
and those possessing violins may
expect curiosity on the part of
members of the sheriff's office,
since Miss Harpster wants her vio-
lin back.
