B(.'17'PkT SUPPER SOLVES
ENTERTAINING PROBLEM
Buffet suppers are the answer to
an eternal question: "How can I
give large parties with a minimum
of preparation?" The modern pro-
cedure of letting each persols serve
himself from a laden table soles
the problem entertainingly. Your
guests will love the idea of choos-
ing their own dinner partners, and
they'll !have a better time because
their hostess is having fun, too.
After preparing 'a large dinner
and worrying about .how it is going
to be served, any woman is really
too worn out to enjoy her own
party. Once she gets. the buffet sup-
per habit, however, she'll be able to
face her guests with a calm, so -
glad -you -came expression.
Four delicious food' items are
quite enough for the average party.
Have one hot dish — preferably
something in a chafing dish ° or
casserole—a hearty salad, hot breads
or sandwiches, meat or chicken,
dessert and coffee. Put everything
on one. long table along with plates,
silver, cups • dnd saucers and let
guests help themselves. They then
can find their own seats and decide.
whethet they want to balance plates
• on the;•',knees or sit at card tables
which you !have provided.
Substantial Hot Dish
The hot dish should be rather
Substantial. You may serve a hot
meat loaf, or, ii'i,you'rerhaving cold
cuts or a roast,' you might prepare
a large casserole of baked macaroni
and ,cheese or Spanish rice. Hot
soup is always enjoyed and is an
ideal first.,;course if cold meat and
Salad are on the menu. Baked
beans, particularly if you're having
baked, ham, is a good suggestion.
The:'salad not only gives zest to
the mean, but adds a decorative note
!to the ,table. You may serve a simple
one of -lettuce or otiher salad greens,
cubes of fresh tomatoes and diced
culumbers or go in for fancy jellied
Varieties in individual molds. Better
not serve the dressing on the salad.
Put' bowls or various dressings on
the table and let each guest help
himself.
For Chafing Dista
Creamed chicken, lobster, crab -
meat, sweetbreads, oysteTW--rarrcl
lnushroonis conte under the heading
of chafing dish delicacies.
To cream sweetbreads:
Put sweetbreads in coli"ivater and
allow to stand one hour.; thendrain
and put into salted boiling water and.
cook slowly for 20 Minutes. Again
drain and plunge into -',cold water to
keep them white and firm. Sweet-
breads .are always parboiled in this
inanuerl'for;•subsequent cooking.
Cut sweetbreads in lhalf inch cubes
In: separate in sinall pieces. Reheat
,�in -rich white sauce and serve on
,, toast or in. patty shells.
Cold cooked chicken and sweet-
breads in equal parts combine well
in a cream sauce.
O?/sters and Mushrooms

7'o Cream mushrooms alone: •
Peel mushrooms and shop fine.
Saute in butter for 5 or 10 minutes
until juice begins to flow freely.
Tlien add to rich white sauce and

MAKING YOUR CHOICE
OF THE RIGHT COLORS
Since color is now recognised as
having a profound effect on the
nerves, it follows that its right use
in. rooms becomes a matter of im-
portance. Colors are of two kinds—
long-wave giving the sensations of
yellow, orange and red, and short-
wave giving those of violet, blue and
green. Long -wave colors are stim-
ulating and short-wave soothing;
nature with sky, sea and foliage
seems to favor the latter.
All rooms for living in need some-
thing of both qualities; it may be
legitimate for a cafe only to excite,
and a rest rgoln to lull, but a parlor
and a bed room cannot be so single-
minded. In general, long -wave col-
ors should be modified by use in.
small areas or in reduced. strength,
and short-wave by the introduction
of lively relief.
For convenience, color relations
are described as contrasts, 'har-

•
monies, and discords. The three
pairs of pure contrasts are red with
blue-green, blue with 'yellow-orange,
and violet with green -yellow, each
pair consisting of . long and short
wave components which, having
nothing in common, "tell" to a
maximum extent when related to
one another.
Harmonies are colors which . do
contain elements in common, as yel-
low .and orange, red and violet, or
blue and green. Discords are pairs
of contrasts or (harmonies used out
of their special tone relation of yel-

red and blue next,. and violet dark--

In a room it is generally; safest to
have the walls and ceiling lighter
than the floor, with a view to stabil-
ity of effect. This .suggests, stimu-
lating colors for ' them, since these
are less exhausting when reduced,

moray. If the walls are stimulating
it will be more restful to work on -a
contrast basis with, 'say, lemon
walls, yellow -grey paintwork and
violet floor, or light oradge walls,
"brick" paintwork and dark blue
floor. If, however, the walls are, for
example,• sage green, the scheme
may be a harmony of sage, apple
green, and dark peacock, with con-
trasting accents — mats, cushions,
pots—in vermillion or magenta.
The question of personal color
preference is rather an interesting
one; it has been suggested that,
such preference is a fact always
due to some obscure chemical re-
action. It appears that a vast
majority of people prefer either red
or blue—red in the case of women
and blue of men—and that there is
a general intolerance of greenish
yellow, a color which oddly enough
is fatal to certain insects.

• PLAID TAFFETA BLOUSES
Jacket costumes in monotones for
spring have plaid taffeta blouses for
contrast.
Besides• navy, which is highly re-
garded and black, interest' is also
shown in gray and beige: One gray
frock in two-piece suggestion has a
gay red belt.

PETER DELIVERED FROM. PRIS-
ON ---Acts 12:1-19. GOLDEN
TEXT,—Prayer was made ear
neatly of the church unto God for
him. Acts 12:5b.
THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING
TIME—The spring of A.D. 44.
PLACE,. -•-A prison within the
city of Jerusalem, perhaps in the
•°ower of Antonia; the house of John
Mark.
"Peter therefore was kept in the
prison." This is not the first time
Peter was in prison for his loyalty
to Christseo 5.18-20. It was to
prison that Saul committed those
Christians whom he dragged from
their homes (8:3). "But prayer was
made earnestly." The adverb here
translated earnestly is from a verb
meaning, literally, stretched out, and
is the very word (as an adjective)
used by Luke in his account of our
Lord's prayer in Gethsemane—Being
in an agony, he prayed more earnest-
ly. "Of the church unto God for
him. Crises make our prayers ef-
fectually definite.
"And when Herod was about to
bring him forth, the same night."
The helplessness of Herod when God
intervenes must reanind one of our
Lord's words to Pontius Pilate, Thou
wouldest have no power against me,
except it were given thee from
above (John 19:11). "Peter was
sleeping between two soldiers, bound
with two chains; and guards before
the door kept the prison." Two sol-
diers were chained to Peter, one to
his left wrist, and one to his right;
two more kept . guard at the door.
Escape was out of all question.
"And behold, an angel of the Lord
stood by him, and a light shined in
the cell." Certainly the light was
due to the presence of the angel, and
one cannot but be reminded of a
similar occurrence, when the shep-
herds were watching their flocks by
night. "And he smote Peter on the
side, and awoke him, saying, Rise up
quickly. And his chains fell off
from his hands." The writers of the
New Testament never embellish their
accounts of miraculous events with
a mass of detail, as later writers
were so in the habit of doing.
"And the angel said unto -hire,
Gird thyself, and bind on thy sand-
als. And he did so. And- he said
unto him, Cast thy garment! about
thee, and follow me." It was 'not
pride that kept thea gel fro}nth' t

was not beneath Christ to wash the
feet of Peter, it was not beneath an
angel to tie his shoe-latchet. But th
angel refrained (as angels always
do), in that economy of strengtn
which is divine, from doing for 'Peter
in his hour of need what it was in
his power to do himself.
"And he went out, and followed.
And he knew not that it was true
which was done by the angel, but
thought he saw a vision." Note how
careful Luke is to distinguish oe-
tween visions and historical occur-
rences, enhancing the trustworthi-
ness of his narrative here.
"And when they were past the
first and the second guard." These
were the warders, who wore station-
ed one nearer to the inner door of
the prison and another at some fur-
ther distance away. "They came
unto the iron gate that leadeth into
the city." It was the gate outside
the prison buildings, forming the
exit from the premises. The prison
seems to have been in the city.
"Which opened to then of its own
accord." The Saviour who has led

you past one ward in the dark ex-.
perience will load you through an-
other, and yet another. The gates "
will open as you arrive. "And they
went out, and passed on through
one street; and straightaway the
angel departed from him." The .an-,
gel's work was done. There was no
more need for the ministry of mir-
acle.
"And when Peter was come to
himself, he 'said." That is, when
he had recovered his self-conscious-
ness. He was before in the half..
consciousness of one who is dream-
ing and knows that it is a dream:
except that in his case •the dream
was the truth, and his supposition
was unreality. "Now I know of a
truth, that the Lord hath sent forth
his angel and delivered me out of
the hand of Herod, and from all
the expectation of the people of the
Jews." James had been put to.
death and the Jewish people were
eagerly waiting for the execution
of Peter like hungry wolves.
"And when he had considered the
thing." Peter's mind worked- rapidly
and he decided, what to do. "He
came to the house of Mary the
mother of John whose surname was
Mark." Mary was a woman of some
property, who had not sold all her
possessions; her husband was prob-
ably dead; Peter was so intimate
with the family that he calls her son
Mark the Evangelist his son.
"And when he knocked at the
door of the gate, a maid came to
answer, named Rhoda."
"And when she knew Peter's
voice." She opened not the gate for.
joy, but ran in, and told that Peter
stood before the gate." Here the
ministry of bewilderment Is joy. It-
self!
"And they said unto her, Thou
art mad." Three people in the New
Testament are accused of being
mad, all because they had messages
so wonderful people would not be-
lieve them: the Lord Jesus (John
10" 20), Rhoda, and the Apostle
Paul (Acts 26:24, 25). "But she
confidently affirmed that it'was ev-'
en so." And so they went on de -1
bating the matter, while all the. time I
the answer was waiting at the door.
The answer often comes knocking
'at the door' but we don't let it in,
'and we never know that the answer,
has been given. "And they said, Its
is his angel." 1t' was a Jewish belief l
that each m'�g"`'ti5":xian �hhad ..a -- ardian

the angelic finger tbat gate had'
opened and let Peter through. And
now he was at no massive iron gate,
but the humble door ' of a very
humble dwelling—and he continued ,
knocking.
"And when they had opened, they
saw him, and were amazed." The
entire history of the New Testament
is filled with amazement.
"But he, beckoning unto them
with the hand to hold their peace,
declared unto them how the Lord
had brought him forth .out of the
prison." There were some things
that only Peter knew about the
goodness and power of God, ana
unless he would tell them they
would never be known for blessing
and encouragement by others. "And
he said, Tell these things unto
James, and to the brethren." This
was, almost all agree, James the
Lord's brother. "According to com-
mon Oriental usage, but apparently
in opposition to the injunction of the
Lord (Matt. 12:50), the family of
Jesus maintained a pre-eminence of
some kind or other in the Christian
community of Jerusalem which was
altogether different from the organ-
ization of the Church in other
places. -
"And lie departed and went to an-
other place."
The notice is so definite that )Fre
cannot build anything upon it; if
Peter left Jerusalem at all, he may
have undertaken some missionarl
journey.
