" Decorative Desserts That Appeal To Eye As Weli As To Palate Most Welcome Just Now Present Month Is Most Difficult in the Year to Cater “or Family—Cold Dishes Are More Acceptable Than Hot Pud Pretty and decorative desserts that appeal to the eye as well as to the pal- ate are the most welcome in summer, especially in August, which is con- 9 sidered by many housekeepers the most difficult month of the year to cater for the family. Cold dishes are more acceptable than hot puddings and pies, though the latter prove rather the exception, if they are just warm, filled with fresh fruit in sea- son and served with chilled whipped cream. A few suggestions as to the possibilities in fruit, cream and jelly may be welcomed at this time. ‘Watermelon Baskets, Take a small, round watermelon and remove two, sections, so that a handle is left when the melon is hol- lowed out. Remove with a small potato scoop the firm, pink flesh, placing the balls in a white enamecl basin set in cracked ice; pour over the melon one pint of sparkling Mo- selle wine and place in the icebox. w Hollow out the melon, leaving an inch of the white under the handle, which is about two inches wide. Fill with cracked ice and place in the icebox. ‘When ready to serve empty the water from the shell and make a bed of cracked ice and lay the pink fruit on it; then set the melon on a round platter covered with grape leaves and + serve with fork and spoon on dessert plates, .

My bellef in this guestion is that there is mnot person, but one type with which we can each be happlest. Now two people of congental types meet there is frequently feit an im attraction between them. After this ha s developed into love, which sometimes does and sometimes does not, they may look back and th it was love from the very beginning. But none of these are really at first sight. One day Robert Louis Stevenson saw in the window of & a woman who, to his eyes, was the perfect woman. “She's the only I shall ever marry,” he said at onee.
