as the party advanced, old-time melodies and Christmas carols were sung in way to warm the heart of the most cynical doubter of the Santa Claus episode. think no one who passed through that vague and shadowy scene failed to feel the thrill of childhood days. Then as the guests entered the dining room they saw on each table a tiny pine tree set in bark and decorated with pine cones red rib bons and Christmas snow. The only lighting was provided by low, prim- tive handles or night lights set in red glass, which cast 8 ruddy glow oyer the tables, the guests and the entire room.
 The very simplicity of the scheme was amazingly beautiful. Quite ob- viously it could have been adapted for the modest home as well as the grand mansion so makes dou- ply clear our point that, with un- limited ability to spend extrav- agantly, we chose to be simple in order to attan that deep and rev. erent feeling which, after all, be- speaks the true Christmas spirit and makes dinner on that day one to be remembered throughout the year.

 The Man
BY CHLOE JAMESON

SAAA@NSA@
 If the man is at all proud of his home and his wife as hostess, it is the delight of his life to bring home business friends-not for formal dinners, but for the intimate, in- promptu meals that melt even the most commercial spirit when they are carried of in an unaffected, homelike way.
 Simple menus go better on these occasions than do more elab- crate efforts. Usually they begin with 8 fruit or a seafood cocktail or cream soup, which may be any, thing from aristocratic mushroom bisque to an inexpensive chowder made with canned corn, garnish with minced parsley and few gold en-brown croutons.
 The meat course is invariably successful if it consists of broiled lamb chops, with nothing more fussy than buttered peas and pars- ley or ,au gratin potatoes. Better still-if you have a set of individual blanks, you can arrange mixed grill including broiled chop Cor even 8 plebeian beef patty. a link of fine sausage and a strip of bacon surrounded by grilled tomato, a mound of shredded string beans, e few Sauted mushrooms, with 8 rose

of mashed potato to finish the gar- land.
 With such a substantial core for the menu, there need be only the simplest of salads; assorted olives and pickles vii ldo, if you cannot manage hearts of lettuce salad with Roquefort dressing or a clnili sauce mayonnaise. Ice cream may be ordered from the neighborhood drug store, and served with a hot caraz mel or chocolate sauce. But the feelings of no one will be hurt fl dessert consists of a huge tray of fresh fruits from which one may make several selections. Coffee, 0f course--the finest, most aromatic liquid you are capable of brewing, served with plenty of thick, rich cream-will be needed to complete the meal.
 We remember time when tele- phones were not; neither were there grocers, fruit stands, delicatessens, bakeries or drug stores within easy reach. Yet hoStesses met with lusty meals and unflurried graciousness the emergency guests of that day Surely, with all handicaps removed in this era, the same spontaneous hospitality should be possible tor the modern home.

A BRIDGE MENU QUICKLY PREPARE
Mixed Grill Main Dish Pre-
 Ceded By Onion Soup, Simple Salad

How is 1t some women always have plenty of afternoons to spend on bridge or club-meetings and can also cook regular dinners? The an-- swer is careful planning, by which whole meals can be cooked in an hour, declares Beulah V. Gillespie, and proves it with menus, in Mc- Calls Magazine for January:
 Menus that will let you do most of the getting-ready work in the morning make bridge-day dinners. Here are the complete work plans with recipes-all ready to use:
 Onion Soup Melba Toast St Mixed Grill
 Hearts of Lettuce with French Dressing
 Hot Gingerbread with Whipped
 Cream Coffee
 'In the morning: Prepare food for mixed grill. Make melba toast. Wash lettuce and put 1t into the refrigerator to chill. Make French dressing. Mix gingerbread accord ing to your favorite recipe, pour batter into cup cake pans; cover and set in the refrigerator. If you prefer, you may use a ready-pre- pared gingerbread mix. Tn this case, the complete preparation can be done before dinner.
 I'm the Evening: Finish cooking mixed grill, according to the recipe. Heat canned onion soup. Arrange salads. Whip the cream. When the mixed grill is done, put the ginger bread into the oven. It will finish. baking in time to be served hot for deGserk

ly Q woman in business or in the home or social circle, who would not be immeasurably benefited by short period of rest in mAd-after- noon. .
 Forget the pressing things of the moment; sit down to a cup of hot tea or chocolate and wafer, or a few thin strips of buttered toast springled with sugar and cinnamon, or a bit of jam. Eat and drink leisurely, enjoying the release of the moment-and see how quickly the taut nerves relax, the blood flows from the head to the very tips of the fingers, and you rise refreshed, ready for continued activity. F
 Such simple, inexpensive tea menu always ,sufices, and even the small amour tof sugar, that you re- ceive with a service of cinnamon toast holds more recuperative power than you think. Coupled with these 8 handful of restful moments will perform wonders for the tired mind and body.
 If time is too pressing, it will pay to shorten the luncheon hour bit --even to curtail the usual luncheon menu, in order to benefit by this mid afternoon rest and refresh- ment. This may not be possible to all office workers, but 1t is to many, an dsurely it is to women at home, or to those whose activities are chiefly social. Except in the case of illness, few home duties are so pressing that they cannot be laid aside for IS minutes; few shopping tours are so serious that they can- not be broken for the sake of one cup of tea.
