the usual accompaniment of horseradish and lemon, came
first. Quail on toast with quince jelly (the jelly served in individual
forms on tiny leaves of lettuce) followed with stuffed potatoes as an
accompaniment and a delicious little chestnut salad was next in order.
The dessert was a rich chocolate cream, stiffened with gelatine and
moulded round with a large hole in the center. This was filled high with
thick cream, whipped, sweetened and flavored with maraschino. The
bonbons, of green and white, added the last touch of harmonic color to
the dainty little feast.

A LITTLE SUNDAY NIGHT SUPPER.

Shortly after this, encouraged by her success, she gave a little Sunday
night supper to introduce two young people to each other. The table, as
before, was round, but the colors used were yellow and white.

A large round tea cloth, fashioned by the hostess, covered the table. In
the center five ragged yellow chrysanthemums were fastened together with
a wide yellow ribbon and wired to a slender upright, which they entirely
concealed. Just inside the circle formed by the plates, glasses, etc., a
wavy circle of smilax trailed and ran out into little curves between the
plates. Nothing more simple could be imagined, but the guests had a very
appreciative look as they were seated. Getting acquainted under such
conditions was a very natural and easy process.

The supper was simplicity itself, and consisted of a clam cocktail;
frilled French chops with green peas; a rarebit made in the chafing-dish
and a rich lemon ice for dessert. In connection there were, it is
unnecessary to add, many delicious accompaniments. Brown bread
sandwiches, thin as wafers, were passed with the cocktail. Bread
accompanied the chops, the rarebit was served in a bank of cress, with
lettuce and cress sandwiches, and the ice was made even more delicious
by the addition of stuffed champagne wafers. A pleasant time in the
host's den followed, and thus, a happy little evening, quite within the
reach of anyone, was made possible by a little forethought.

The apartment in which this woman lives has only six rooms, so you can
imagine that entertaining (in its ordinary sense) is somewhat out of the
question, but very charming little "at homes" are given once a month
during the winter, and as the parlor and den adjoin, and are cosily
furnished to correspond, it is quite possible to entertain in this way.
