Be sure not to bring out the ordinary everyday-dinner service, for this is the one occasion when all the oldest fash- f . ioned things should be brought out, the s oldest china, the most revered antiques and family -heirlooms, not forgetting -the old fashioned brass candlesticks for lighting the dinner table with candles. For a centerpiece a jardinlere may be made out of a cabbage stripped of its outer leaves and the center hol- lowed out...Into this-natural jardiniere the rosiest apples and the finest grapes and pears should be piled. Still other schemes of decoration sug- gest themselves. hd Autumn fruits and flowers are most suitable, and fruits and flowers were never more lovely than this year. Chrysanthemums are the most season- able flowers, and ever since their intro- duction into tbhis country from the orient they have become November's flower. A charming decoration consists of a centerpiece of white chrysanthemums arranged in a bowl or vase not too high,- at least not high emough to ob- struct the faces of the people sitting opposite, of either glass or silver, pref- erably silver.. Half a dogen flowers with their.foliage are sufficient for the average vase, ; Only white linen should be used end. } oa it construct a vine around the table EA about two and a half feet from the: THE TINDER BOX (Continued from page 14). _break?ast getting cold, and Tm empty down to my feet.

Having made these few suggestions for_the accessories of the banquet, it may help matters to give a few hints for menus:which may be followed with more or less variation to suit the host- ess. The following will not be found too elaborate for the average dinner giver: Blue Points on Half Shell. Cream of Tomato Soup. Salted Almonds. Olives. Roast Turkey, Cranberry Sauce. Mashed Potatoes.. Glazed Sweet Potatoes. Succotash.. Onions With -Cream Sauce. Mayonnaise of Celery. Wafers, Cheese. Pumpkin Pie. Mince . Ple. | Apples.. Pears. ' Grapes: Coffce. * Sweet Cider.

If Aunt Augusta had been a man she would have probably led a regiment up San Juan hill, died in the trenches and covered herself and family with glory.
