be passed at the beginning of q
meal?
when clearing the table be-
fore dessert is served, should the
plates be removed from the left
or right of the guests? a."
When sherbet is served in the
Sherbet glass with the main
course, there should be a small
plate (the bread and butter size,
six-inch plates, is a good size for
this) served under the Sherbet
glass. This plate provides the
proper place for the spoon that
has been used with the Sherbet.
And the same thing is true when
we serve iced tea or other iced
drink with the meal. It's one
Of those service amenities that
are very important.
suggest that you fold these
cocktail napkins once, across the
long way.
For the convenience of our
guests, we should serve some kind
of plate for the guests to put their
cocktail glasses on, to put the &C
companying crackers or canapes
on. These plates may be the spe'
cial kind sold for this, the ones
with the raised circle to hold the
glass and a space for the canapeS.
If you have these then the cock
tail napkins are passed separately.
If you haven't these, just as con-
venient is the service of small
plates with a napkin on each
plate, as we serve them at tea. If
you are having a few guests, and
have large tray, this pile of
plates with the napkins between
the plates may be placed on the
tray. Then as the tray is passed,
a guest first takes plate with
the napkin on it, then cocktail
glass, and then any accompanying
food.
If there are many guests, you
won't have room on the tray for
these plates. A separate tray
should be passed. before the cock
tail tray is passed.
If the food is passed at the
table, it should begin with the
woman guest of honor, at the
right Of the host, and then on to
her right. This makes the pass,
ing end at the hosts place, which
is proper.
Plates are usually removed from
the left of the guest. But this
really doesn't make any differ
ence. However, it does make a
difference that serving-dishes are
served at the left of the guest, fol
this is the only convenient way
for the guest to serve himself from
the SerVing-diSh.

1t isn't easy nowadays to decide
whether a garment is meant for
a nightie or for an evening frock.
Of this type is a nightie of cylca-
men pink georgette with high
waistline and halter back. TIL e
fabric is finely knife-pleated all
over except for diamond,shaped
sections of the high waistline.
You will see plenty of twocolor
velvet hats. Typical of this trend
is a toque of amethyst velvet with
a big pouf in the back, fashioned
of bUttercup yellow velvet.

THIS handy gadget is called the
i "trio manicure" because it
gives you the three most essential
tools for a good manicure, except
ing, of course, your cuticle cream,
polish, and so on. The three are
orange stick with brush on one
end, the "pusher" for shaping
your cuticle, on the other end,
and your nail whitener in the
form of a pencil. This is all you
need, besides the things that
come in bottles, and a pair of
manicure scissors or clippers. At
tached to a card, as in the sketch,
they are 10c.
