Accessories to the tray-served meal are simple but important. There should be one or two small tables or tabarets to econtain drinkables, together with glasses on a tray of their own, and the ing of the meal, if it is one empl both knife and fork will need a table, small or large, for the ac- commodation of the plate. A bridge or other folding table is helpful to use in the tray-served meal. Se persons can sit about it, and use its surface, if mot actually for the serving plates, at least for water, tea, coffee, etc. ‘When a tray-served meal consists of a main course dish, such as salad, timbales, croquettes, etc, requiring only the use of a fork, the plate can be rested in the lap satisfactorily. Many of the popular Summertime dishes lend themselves admirably to the sort of service described. The advantage to the housewife or hostess is in the sav- ing of table setting and in the ex- pected co-operation of those partaking. Most people enjoy the informality in- volved in such form of service, and find the assistance required of them a jolly ! accompaniment t6 the palatable food served. A fruit cup is an excellent first or last course in a tray-served meal, as it can be apportioned and placed on the ice at any time of the day, and suffers not at all from s ing. A diced meat and celery salad, with olives to top it and a mayonnaise or French dressing is delicious. , An iced drink. such as tea, fruit punch, lemonade or iced chocolate is suitable, or hot coffee may be the cholce of those who like a warm touch to a cold meal. | (Copyright. om may be done with housewife, as well as the household. ould be substantial: as well ! .

HIS tent caterplilar is an Ameri- can, Nearly all over the United States where the wild cherry, hazel, apple, birch and other trees grow she builds her un- sightly tent. It is usually so high up | among the crotches of the tree that it is not easily reached. Early in the Spring, before the leaves come out, the nests may be seen. The only way to rid trees of these pests is to burn the dead ones and to gather the egg masses from the live trees. When & tree is completely defoliated by these caterpillars it will die. Early in the Summer the mother moth lays her 250 eggs in & collar around & twig of a tree and covers her egg mass with a frothy, tough. brittle glue which_glistens in the sunlight The larvae live in the eggs all Summer and Winter as tiny larvae and in the following Spring they gnaw their way out of the eggshell. Should they ap- | pear on the scene before the leaves are ready for them, they breakfast on their eggshells, and seem to thrive on them until their favorite food- is ready. If their food is there, and ‘when they are #wo days old, they eat and search about for a crotch to build a little nest. Caterpillars, as a rule, get along nicely together, and in this family they lead a peaceful community life. Wher- ever a_baby goes he spins a thread of silk. If a green leaf tempts him, he drops to it on his silken rope At first the baby's tent is small and affords little protection, but as the children grow and keep spinning silk, it becomes a great city covered over with strong asilk and not unlike the idea of & circus tent. Instead of rooms, the groups live in layers. On rainy da: the. family remains indoors, and wher the sun shines they dine at regular dins ing hours for breakfast, dinner and per. .u%pon growing up the -caterplllar wanders off. He is seeking & safe spot on which to hang his cradle, This is a very clever way to keep the family from being wiped out. The cocoon is | ovalshaped, about 1 inch long, and | made of coarse, loose, whitish threads | of silk. These tougher threads cover the inner parchment-like lining. The whole is intermixed with a substance much like talcum powder. Within this little room the babv turns into a short, oval, brownish creature, and three weeks | later appears to the world as & math. | The grownnps are dressed in a dull reddish-brown. They are rather stout in body and have a wing expanse of 2 inches for the ladies and one-third of an inch for the gentlemen.

The fact that “they're showing’ :kg;:t deal of a certain type of fur- nishing simply doesn’t mean a thing to the head of the house, If it doesn't look comfortable, it's out! Perhaps because large pleces of furni- ture look more comfortable, bignegs be- | comes a factor. Show a man two chairs, one smaller than the other, and in nine cases out of 10 he'll register a marked preference for the larger of the two. Delicate design and graceful curves may draw forth a weak “Yes, they're good looking,” but it takes sturdiness to evoke real enthusiasm. A chalr or table-may be priceless from the point of view of an antique collector, and utterly worthless from that of a man. If a piece of furniture can't be used, and used with the comfortable as- surance that it can stand up under con- stant use, he doesn't want it around. Notice the furniture in men's offices. Heavy, durable pieces. Not one for ormna- mentation. In the hurrying confusion and crowd- ed home space of today, no one really has a right to clutter up a room with ornamental nuisances. If a chair must be approached with fear and trembling | it should be banished, and one that is safe and solid used instead. Don't clutter up a room with furniture.

For jobs like this use the soap that’s famous for cleaning up dirty dirt. Use Gold Dust, that quick —safe—easy cleaner that cleans things clean and kills germs, too. Gold Dust is at your grocer’s now in two convenient sizes. many drawers there are, theyll fill up rapidly and have to be cleaned out fre- quentiy—but that's part of the game of keeping husbands happy. Don’t skimp on smokers’ stands and ash trays. Nothing is more than to get comfortably seated and then find that there is no place to put cigaret or cigar ashes except on the rug. Even if your particular husband doesn’t smoke, don't overlook this point, for we’ll have friends who do. JOLLY POLLY A Lesson in English. BY JOSEPH J. FRISCH.

There are such endless uses for these shock absorbers. Not enough attention, however, has been given to the construction and shape of pillows.
