ERVE coffee as your guests arrive when you give your next evening bridge party. It has for some time been the custom in Eng- land to serve hot coffee or tea at the beginning of bridge parties. A pouillon may be served with the supper after the card playing is over, but coffee 1s seldom served again. A fashionable American hostess re- cently introduced this little custom of coffee to start with and it met with such general approval that I amlraxls- the DAILY DIET RECIPE Fried Caul .wer.
