Some yeare ago, the hostese whe

moment the hostees put% her house
in order, DOOS that it is light, warm
and well ventilated, and is then ready
to greet her guests.
The other members a the group
arrive a little early, bringing their
china and whatever food is to be sem,
ed, and there is neither haste, worry
nor confusion. If the food is to be
kept hot, it is slipped into the oven;
hut if cold dishes are to be esrved,
they are placed in the kitchen and
left until the tines for rierving.
SEVANTY GUESTS SERVED vermieue
conk/rumen
At a recent gathering, where seven-
ty was served with hot food, there
was neither confusion or delay. The
plates were put to warm in :the range
-warming closet, the crocks containing
creamed chicken, creain.ed petatoce,
and baked beans, also the rolls, were
placed in the oven or on the hack of
the stove, and those in charge were
free to enjoy the meetings Twenty
minutes before the thee for serving,
ten women went quietly to the kiechen
and began filling the plates. A fork
'and rolls which had been split open
and buttered, were laid on each plate.
The plates end paper napkins were
quickly passed, and ie a short time
the hostesses had joined their guests,
so that they were able to enjoy their
luncheon together. Three little girls
were proud to pass pickles, coffee,
cream and sugar and to take away the
used plates. The second course cone
sisted of cake and fruit gelatine, serv-
ed on pretty china plat -es and looked
very appetizing.
Ae the dishes reached the, kitchen,
each woman packed her own belong-
inge in her baskets, without washing,
and in thirty minutes everything was
cleared away. The secret of the lack
of confusion lay in the fart that each
woman had hee own group to serve
and had selected her awn place M the
big kitclie•ri where'as far as possible,
her china eves placed. In this way
they avoided the mixing of belongings
and its coneequent confusion.
