BLivi.l' SUl'l'Eli SOLVES ENTERTAlNlSa PROBLEM Buffet suppers are the answer to an eternal question : "How can I gwa large parties with a minimum of preparation?" The modern pro- cedure of letting each person serve himself from a laden table solves 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 ^uite enough for the average party. Have one hot dish â€" preferably something in a chafing dish or casserole â€" a hearty salad, hot breads or sandwiches, meat or chicken, dessert and coffee. Put everything on one long table along with plates, silver,' cups and saucers and let guests help themselves. They then can find their own seats and decide â- whether they want to balance plates bn their knees or sit at card tables which you Ihave provided. Substantial Hot Dish The hot dish should be rather substantial. You may serve a hot meat loaf, or. if you're having 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 menu, but adds a decorative note to the table. You may serve a simple one of lettuce or otf.ier salad greens, cubes of fresh tomatoes and diced culumbers or go in for fancy jellied varieties in individual molds. Better Hot serve the dressing on the salad. Put bowls or various dressings on the table and let each guest help himself. For Chafing Dish Creamed chicken, lobster, crab- ' meat, sweetbreadb', oysters and mushrooms come under the heading of chafing dish delicacies. To cream sweetbreads: Put sweetbreads in cold yater and allow to stand one hour; then drain 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 manner for subsequent cooking. Cut sweetbreads in Ihalf inch cubes tor separate in small pieces. Reheat in rich white sauce and serve on toast or in patty shells. Cold cooked chicken and sweet- breads in equal part.* combine well in a cream sauce. Oysters and Mvshro(yms Two dozen oysters, oyster liquor. 1% cups milk, 1 tablesipoon fiour, 1 eup mushrooms, % teaspoon salt, % teaspoon lemon juice. 1 teaspoon onion juice, 2 egg yolks, beaten light, 2 tablespoons butter. Drain oysters and place in hot pan witli a teaspoon butter. Toss them till they are plumped and ruffled on both sides, then place in hot dish. .\dd to oyster liquor the milk and flour and cook till thick. Add chop5>e<l muillirooms and cook two minutes. Add other ingredients in order named, then the oysters. Bring to boiling point and pour over hot buttered toast. The recipe would need" to be doubled or trebled for butfot supper since it only serves 6. To cream mushrooms alone: Ti-cl mushrooms and shop fine. Sauto in butter for 5 or 10 minute.* until juice begins to flow freely. Then add to rich white sauce and serve on toast. Broiled bacon goo? well with creamed mushrooms. Scientist's Daughter Marries Chicken En Casserole This casserole dish is especially flavorsome and is unusual in its combination of vegetables. One three pound chicken. 1 table- spoon minced onion, 1 clove garlic, 3 tablespoons butter, 4 cups cCiopped tomatoes, 2 cups diced carrots, 2 cups potato marbles, % cup green peas. Clean and disjoint chicken. Add 1 teaspoon salt and 1% teaspoons pepper to % cup of hour and roll each piece of chicken in mixture. Melt butter in frying pan and cook chicken until brown over a low fire. Then add onions, garlic, tomatoes, carrots and potatoes and cook twenty minutes longer. Turn into a shallow casserole and garnish with peas which have been cooked separ- ately. Put in oven until very hot and serve with spravs of watercress. Veal Roll 2^ lbs. veal cutlet, half inch thick, 1 lb. veal twice ground, 6 lb. sausage meat, 1 cup bread crumbs, V2 cup cream sauce, 1 small onion, grated, 1 tablespoon Wor- cestershire sauce, hi teaspoon pep- per, hi teaspoon salt, 3 eggs, beat- en stiff, 2 tablespoons shortening, 6 medium sized carrots, 6 small on- ions, hi cup cold water. Make a filling of Uhe ground veal, sausage, crumbs, cream sauce, on- ion, seasoning and eggs. Mix well and spread on veal cutlet. Roll up and tie with string, season and put in a pan and spread shortening over (bacon fat will do well ) surround- ing with peeled whole onions and scraped carrots. Roast in hot oven until browned, add water, baste, cover pan closely and return to oven till tender. Serves 8 to 10. Veal Loaf Separate a knuckle of veal in pieces by sawing through bone. Wipe, put in kettle with 1 lb. lean veal and 1 onion; cover with boiling water and cook slowly till \'eal is tender. Drain, chop meat finely and season highly with salt and pepper. Garnish bottom of mold with slices of hard-boiled eggs and parsley. Put in layer of meat, layer of thinly sliced hard boiled eggs . sprinkle witlh finely chopped parsley and cover with remaining meat. Pour over liquor which should be reduced to one cupful. Press and chill, turn on a dish and garnish with parsley. Dessert Course For a meal of this kind a number of desserts will immediately suggest themselves to you. Ice cream is always good: so are fruit jellies topped with whipped cream, Char- lotte Russe and things of that kind. Fancy individual cakes or pastries would fill the bill adequately and you might also have a tray of cftieese and crackers for those whose diet says "Sweets are taboo." Coffee, of course, accompanied by salted nuts if you like, brings the meal to a close. Try a buffet supper and enjoy yourself, Madame Hostess ! * » » 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 â€" 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; natui-e with .sky, sea and foliage seems to favor the latter. .^11 rooms for living in need some- thing of both qualities; it may be legitimate for a cafe only to excite, and a rest room 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 strengllh, and short-wave by the introduction of lively relief. For convenience, color relations are described as contrasts, har- â€" *«•*â€" ^^ â€" u.^. â€" -â-  â-  â- -â- â-  - TT â-  • -^-^-^-fc ^^^m^^^^m^ .\iiss Rosalynde Lodge, daughter of Sir Oliver Lodge, world tum- ous scientist, was recently married to Sir Harold Edgar Yarrow, head of the famous shipbuilding firm at Wilsford, near Salisbury, England. Photo shows bride and groom leaving the church after the ceremony. 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 Iharnionies used out of their special tone relation of yel- low lightest, orange and green next, red and blue next, and violet dark- est; typical discords are mauve with mustard and pale blue with flame. In a room it is generally safest to have the w-alls 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, and, except for red, are naturally light and so not liable to look dis- cordant; pink is a little difficult, but not so much as mauve or azure. The selheme of a room may be in essentials either a contrast or a har- mony. 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 fioor, or light orange 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 â€" mats, cushions, pots â€" 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 clhemical re- action. It appears that a vast majority of people prefer either red or blue â€" red in the case of women and blue of men â€" 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.

GOLDEN TEXT. â€" Prayer wa« made ear neitly of the church unto God for him. Act* 12:5b. THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING TIMEâ€" The spring of A.D. 44. PLACE â€" A prison within the city of Jerusalem, perhaps in the tower 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 hla loyalty to Christ â€" see 5:18-20. It was to prison that Saul committed those Christians wliom 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 â€" Bemg 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 remind 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 ahains; 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 tlie 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, Ri»e 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 him. 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 the angel from that service. Things we would scorn to do are done by angels gladly. If it was not beneath Christ to wash the feet of Peter, it was not beneath an angel to tie his shoe-latchet. But the angel refrained (as angels always do), in that economy of strengtti which is divine, trom doing for Peter in his hour of need what it was in liis power to do himself. "And he went out, and followed- •â- Vnd 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 De- 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 w-ere the warders, who were 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 tho premises. The prison seems to have been in the city. "Which opened to them of its own accord." The Saviour who has led inch material with 3-8 yard of 39- inch ronstrasting.

The gates will open as you arrive. ".A.nd thef 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, wheo 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 hid angel and delivered me out ol the hand of Herod, and from all the expectation of the people of th* Jews." James had been put to death and the Jewish people were eagerly waiting for the executioa of Peter like hungry wolves. "And when ho b&d considered tha thing." Peter's mind worked rapidly and he decided what to do. "He came to the house of Mary tha mother of John whose surname was Mark." Mary was a woman of soma property, who had not sold all h«r possessions; her husband was prob- ably dead; Peter was so intimate with the family that lie calls her soa Mark the Evangelist his son. "And when ha knocked at tha door of the gate, a maid cama to answer, named Rhoda." "And when she knew Peter's voice." She opened not the g:ate for joy, but ran in, and told that Peter stood before the gate-" Hero the ministry of bewilderment is joy It- self! "And they said unto her. Thou art mad." Three people in the Naw Testament are accused of beinj; mad, all because they had messagea so wonderful people would not ba- lieve them: the Lord Jesus (John 10: 20), Rhoda, and tha Apostla Riul (Acts 26:24, 25). "But she confidently affirmed that it was «t- en so." And so they went on da-i lating the matter, while all the tima the answer was waiting at the door. Tha answer often comes knocklns at the door but we don't let it in, and we never know that the answar has been given. "And they said. It is his angel." It was a Jewish belief' that each man had a guardian' angel assigned to him. "But Peter .continued knocking." .\ little while before, that very morning, Peter had come to a great iron gate. And at a single touch of' the angelic finger that gate had' opened and let Peter through. And now he was at no massive iron gata, but the humble door of a very humble dwelling â€" and he continued knocking. "And when they had opened, they saw him, and were amazed." Tha entire liistory 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 Lont had brought him forth out of tha prison." There were some things that only Peter knew about tha 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 thing:s unto James, and to the brethren." This was, almost all agree, James tha Lord's brother. "According to com- mon Oriental usage, but apparently in opposition to the Injunction of tha Lord (Matt. 12:50), the family of Jesus maintained a pre-eminence of some kind or other in the Christiao community of Jerusalem which was altogether different from the organ- ization of the Church in other places. "And he departed and went to an- other place." The notice is so definite that w« cannot build anything upon it; if Peter left Jerusalem at all, he may have undertaken some missionarj journey.
