flavor to the cocktail. The citrus
fruit should be the base and the oth-
ers used in the proportion of one to
three three tblesonfiils of grape-
fruit and orange with fiber removed
to one tablespoonftil of the pineapple
peach or even diced apple mixed.
Very little sugar is necessary. Taste
must determine this. Serve verv cold
with or without crisp wafers. Host-
esses disagree as to the Sse of fork
or spoon. Personally we favor an
orange spoon as first choice and a
small teaspoon next. Small cocktail
forks are frequently used but with
the juicy cocktail it comes near to the
feat of drinking soup witn a lora.
Thank you for your kind expressions
about our recipes and write us again. !
Serving and flat silver. We prom-1
ised last week to answer the many i
inquiries com-eming table service and
the laying of the flat silver. Happily
there is no iron-clad rule. Several
things determine the manner of ser.
vice. The important feature of all
service is smoothness and unobstruc-!
tiveness. If you have a weu-trainea
man or maid who is free to serve the
meal and if you possess a full supply
of silver you may plan a rather am-
bitious service. Suppose we take this
menu:
Oyster cocktail
Soup Wafejs
Roast turkey
Dressing
Gravy Rice
Corn grven peppers au gralin
Candied vams
Pickles Cranberry jelly
Grapefruit Almond salad
Froien oustard
Kruit cake
CVffee
The table is lovely laid with the
Urge square place doiles and the cen-
ter runner. Candles compotes with
nuts candies salts and peppers either
individual or the small castor style
and the glass for water with the cen-
tral bowl vase or basket the flat sil-
ver large flat service plates the
bread plates and napkins is what
should be placed on the table before
the guests are seated.
The arrangement of candles and
decorations for a round and a son of
refectory tables differ. The latter
should have the accent in the central
decoration and two candles at either
end. The round table has the central
decoration and the candles mav be
placed as appears most oleasini to i
ine eye
Though personal taste has much to
do with the laying of flat silver a con-
ventional way for this dinner would
be. to the right of plates have knife
next to plate then soup spoon then
eocktajl fork. To the left next to
plate spoon or ice cream fork for the
frozen custard the salad fork and
the fork for the main dinner course.
