RR TR “MAACO RU oo FTN TAA A TTT TT [ "THE informal reception is one of the most de- lightful of social functions, and an affair which makes its peculiar demands on the hostess, because the buffet supper that usually attends it must be ey and correctly served in spite of its seeming lack of rigid form. _ The dining table should be dressed with the nicest linen you have and the napkins folded and placed at one end. The buffet will haye the reserve napkins, silver, plates and cups. The table at no time should have a cluttered appear- ance; to avoid this the maid will bring to the person serving only sufficient portions for those then in the room. All the niceties of serving must be understood by this maid; such as keep- ing salads cold, having coffee hot, etc. For an afternoon reception, the following menu is not difficult of preparation or service and yet it is an attractive and appetizing plate: Chicken mousse, fruit salad, hot rolls, olive seciok salted nuts. This menu may or not, as you choose, be fol- lowed by a second course. If you decide upon the sweet course, let it be something very easy to serve, for the maid should take the used plate from a guest with one hand and in its stead, offer the sweet. A caramel cornstarch pudding, in individual molds, lined with maccaroons would be simple. HEN about six or cight people are in the dining room, the maid should bring on an attractive plate, the chicken mousse, made to serve ten or twelve. Next she should place at the same end of the table a sufficient number of. salad portions for the number present; this may readily be arranged on a large platter, each portion on its own bed of lettuce. The canapes should be on the buffet and are merely placed near the person serving. The last to be brought in is the hot coffee for the other end of the table and the hot rolls for the first end. These may be buttered in the pantry and save much confusion. Old Touches That Lend New Charm To Interiors (THE interest in ship models goes on unabated, but a newer, though similar, decorative note is the Viking ship, in a door er, or as an ash receiver set on a low iron base. As up-to-the-minute in interest are miniature suits of armor in antique tin. “These figures, usu- ally about 15 inches in height, bring an early. English atmosphere into a room, as they stat on a man’s desk, a bookshelf or a bracket. Silhouettes, not content with gracing our early American walls and mantels in miniature form, now give interest to parchment lamp shades and mirrors where they are paired on either side of a long mantel mirror. Waste baskets have achieved a Cinderella- like experience. They have become “glorified” recipients of trash. They are painted inside, and sometimes out, in unusual colors, or-have | a flosal print applied on the outside, a hunting scene, a French boudoir print. Often these pic- tures are placed on backgrounds of a lossy black wallpaper with a gold dot, a red dotted white paper, a green chambry paper shellacked, or an allover tiny floral pattern, -more geometri- - cal than realistic. Ship lels painted in sil- houette often lend these containers of this .ai that a pleasing note of other days. Never was there such interest in boxes, not their contents, but their outsides. Vanity. boxes are painted inside a delicate mauve and outside a Godey print is applied.

Boxes are in interesting round; semi-circular, long or narrow shapes, with and without covers. - SKIN loveliness starts from within.
