ed such a woeful dearth of information on suppers and
the fact that such information as was obtainable was often misleading
and in many cases positively ridiculous. There is no social function
that lends itself so admirably for a high class entertainment as the
supper.

This volume, therefore, will fill a vacuum in the needs of society; it
will supply a long felt want of both men and women, who often, so often,
have worried over the proper forms and menus for suppers. The book is
complied by Paul Pierce, publisher of _What To Eat_, The National Food
Magazine, an international authority on all subjects pertaining to
dinings and other social functions. Mr. Pierce is the Compiler of
"Dinners and Luncheons," "Parties and Entertainments," "Breakfasts and
Teas," and "Weddings and Wedding Celebrations," to which "Suppers" is a
companion. All the other volumes will be found most helpful to the man
or woman who entertains on a large or small scale.
