it was that said winter had officially
arrived, day or two before, was GER
tainly more than right.
A "Cheery" COlamn Is Out
We had intended making this a
rather CHEEKY" column this week,
but somehow We cannot. A good neigh
Dor of ours has passed on-William C..
White. We all knew him as "Bill."
The fact is we had known him since
childhood days-never as a neigh
Dor until this past year. But he proved
a good neighbor. We shall miss his
light these dark winter nights and
realize that when we are in. trouble we
cannot call him. II
There will be many of,the old sum-
mer residents who will likewise miss
him sadly. j., l>.r,', 49,.
So you see we Just can't make this
"cheery" column. 81.
A death in the community during
the holiday season, seems harder to
bear that at any5other time, and we
know from experience: how and what
his family and relatives feel. To them,
through this Mountain Lake letter,
we extend sympathy. -.
Due to Mr.. Whites. sudden death
the Baptist church will not have its
Christmas program until Saturday ev-
ening.
May we hope that all you readers
will enjoy very Happy Christmas.

New York.-TTrom wedding break
fast TO midnight snack, the buffet
party Is fast becoming Americas
most popular form Of entertain
ment.
Informal most of these parties
are. Easy TO plan, too-even for the
hostesses like them; and designers,
ever willing to oblige, are bringing
out new types OF tablewear especial
ly suited for the buffet table.
There Is the planked steak platter
than can be used for cheese and
crackers also. There is the bean
pot that Is doubly useful, since II
serves both for cooking and serv-
Ing. There's no reason either, why
such bean pot shouldn't hold spa
ghetti, corned beef hash, creamed
chicken or whatever other hot food
happens to be your choice.
Newest of new In buffet table
wear Is the sandwich humidor.
The Idea OF this contrivance Is all
IN the cover, concealed In which is
small disk OF absorbent material
TO be moistcned when the sand
wiches are piled on the tray and
covered. Sandwiches or canapes
placed IN this "humidor," will keeE
from drying for hours, and there u
no danger that they will be ruined
as happens 30 often when they ore
wrapped IN a damp cloth.
For buffet supper during the
harvest season, what could DO more
attractive than q table covered With
n corn -colored linen cloth, with
yhcaves OF golden wheat on either
end, and, In the center, q Candida
bro bearing burnt orange candlesp
Use cream colored china plates and
cups, and serving dishes made OF
silvery aluminium and walnut, and
the table will be colorful and smart,
indeed.
The arrangement and service OF
buffet luncheons and suppers IL
about the same. At iuncheons there
are usually heavier and more varied
courses. Often the guests are served
at smaller tables placed about the
room, and this, OF course, necessi-
tates additional service. When
there are no small tables the guests
help themselves and usually man
age TO place themselves In con-
genial and informal groupings about
the room. Often the men do the
serving and pass plates and dishes
10 the ladies who remain seated.
The buffet menu usually includes
two main courses and, OF course, O
variety OF additional relishes, sand
wicheS and cakes 10 choose from
II Is best II the menu Is planned 10
that knives are not needed. II
there are bread or rolls these should
be buttered beforehand.
There should also be one or more
serving tables. tCard tables Will
do on these are placed extra sup
plies OF china and glassware. Some
times the coffee service and dessert
course walt In readiness on the
serving table. II there are maids
the maids takes the used dishes
from the guests after they are nm
lshed and return them to the kitch-
en- or pantry. II there are no maids

good Idea. and the guests may
place these dishes there themselves
SO as not TO crowd or spoil the
beauty OF the buffet table.
