Silver The largest plate to be used, should be taken as the measure for gorrect placing of the silver. The sition of the silver should not be fisturbod during the serving of the meal. Uniformity of arrangement of gilver, glasses, napkin, and dishes 1. The Dining Room ‘ The room in which a meal is‘ served is important. Its temperature and ventilation are points which must not be overlooked. The lights must be studied and so arranged as to avoid a glare, be the glare from the lights themselves or their reflecâ€" tions on glasses and silverware. If eandles are employed, there should be enough of them to give adequate illumination, and their height inâ€" eluding the holders and their arâ€" rangement should be in relation to other decorations and the conveniâ€" ence of those at table. Temperature, wentilation and illumination all bear directly on the success of a dinner. 2. The Table The table should be sufficiently large to permit serving guests comâ€" fortably. 18 or 20 inches is a good width for each cover. There should be no crowding. A silenceâ€"cloth should be used under the tablecloth. Lay the cloth with the centre fold up and in the exact centre of the table, which incidentally suggests a hint on proper laundering and ironing, so the centre fold will come up correctly. The height of the table decorations must be gauged skillfully, for if too high they are awkward and if too low are monotonous. Avoid overâ€" decoration, and do not allow the table to look heavy or crowded. Bear in mind the color scheme of the room as well as the colors of the different foods to be served. If it is a seaâ€" sonal party, select flowers, placeâ€" ceards, and other little decorations, appropriately. If cireumstances sugâ€" goest that the bare table be used, it should be very carefully polished beâ€" for the doilies or runners are placâ€" If you want to make an interestâ€" ing quick checkâ€"up, take a pencil an a piece of paper, and see how many details under each heading you can write down, then compare them with what follows. g" Li es ce on Slee If genius be defined as "an inâ€" finite capacity for taking _ pains," then the art of serving food correctâ€" ly can be defined as "earnest thought and close attention to numerous deâ€" tailsâ€"big and little." In fact there are at least 57 such details, divided up about as follows. Dining Room, 3; Table, 7; Silver, 7; Glasses, 2; Napkins, 2; Accessories. 6; Servic Table, 5; Chairs, 1; Waitress, 5; Waiting, 14; Service, 5; Without Maid, 10. does not have to be elaborate in order to be correct. It can be corâ€" rect with just one to wait, or with members of the family and their guests alone. Perfection is a matter of quality, rather than quantity. "Do they ?" she queried, "well, to tell the honest truth, I find myself working just as hard planning and preparing in advance, and keeping an eagle eye out during the meal, as I did for the first dinner party 1 ever gave here as a bride." Correct Service It isn‘t only interesting food and interesting company that makes for a third element which must be presâ€" ent to lift that dinner to the plane of ‘ perfection. That third element is~; correct service. Service of a dinner "Why is it," she was asked, "that your dinner parties seem so effortâ€" less and to run just like clockwork?" The lady answored the question by asking another. A famous mt;;: was the other day on the see success. THE PERFECT DiNN iR Py 30 ~â€" ns " Mostess was interviewed day on the secrets of her FU MANCHU 8. Chairs Have chairs in neat rows, or if table is oval shape have chairs in harmonicus relation to each other, far enough from table edge so that one may be seated with little effort. When checking over the chair arâ€" rangement, is a good time for a last checkâ€"up on dishes and silver in reâ€" lation to the menu to make sure nothing is missing. 9. Waitress A competent waitress or attendant ’ is essential to the smooth running of a formal meal. The perfect waiter of either sex is the one whose presence is not felt in the dining room. Guests should be conscious of the perfect service, rather than of the individual rendering it. The wants of the guests should be observed and supplied before they can be made known. The waitress should stand‘ where the hostess can easily signal her. The waitress is silent unless asked a question, and seemingly deaf to all conversation. 10. Waiting Waiting is regarded by its expert practitioners as a profession, and no one is more critical of correct serâ€" vice than the true waiter. Some of the fundamental rules of the craft that are practical for domestic use are: uniform, or livery, or aprons and cap, are selected and provided by employer (the housewife); rubber heels on comfortable shoes are adâ€" visable; careful attention should be given to hair and hands; wash hands before laying the table, and again before handling food; use tray for carrying silver, glasses and dishes to lay table; handle cups by handles, and glasses by bottoms; handle all silver by handles, and avoid finger marks; do not let fingers come over edge of glasses under any cireumâ€" stances; use a folded napkin when should be worked out and followed carefully. "Rightâ€"handed" silver is placed at the right, such as knives and spoons, and "leftâ€"handed" at the left, guch as forks, with the exceptâ€" ion of the oyster fork which goes to the extreme right. Place silver in order of use, working from outside to edge of plate. If, fcr a " given course, the salad or dessert fork is the only piece of. silver at the table, it may be placed .on the right. ‘ 4 Glasses | Glasses are placed at the right, at or near the tip of the knife. If other. beverages in addition to water are to be served, glasses for them â€"are placed at an angle to the water glass, angle and â€" arrangement â€" deâ€" pending on number and style. 5. Napking At a formal meal, place napkin on service plate. At informal ‘ meals, place napkin between knife and fork, or at extreme left of fork. In either event, place open end of napkin towards guest. ‘ 6. Accessories Place salt and pepper shaker where they may be reached easily. The carving knife may be placed on table at right of platter; carving fork on left, and gravy spoon to right of knife, for an informal dinâ€" ner. If a formal meal, these will be on serving table. If a knife sharpenâ€" er is used, place to left of serving fork and revaove as soon as used. Rests for these utensils may be placâ€" ed to right or left of platter. : 7. Service Table Laying of the service table, or buffet, is important. If possible, have covered to match the table linen. Have duplicate of each piece of silâ€" ver used on table, on service table, in fact several duplicates if possible. There should also be an extra glass and napkin or two. A napkin and plate for crumbing are also required. Butter, bread, etc.. cream, sugar, bonbons, and nuts, may be placed on] service table. By Sax Rohmer 11. Service The hostess is sometimes served first, as this enables her to give signal to begin as soon as her first guests are served. _ By being served first, hostess can also check for correct flavors of foods and she will use the correct utensil for each course. It is quite correct for the guests of honor to be served> first, the rank of the guest, the formality of the meal, and similar factors helpâ€" ‘ing to determine this. Regardless of who is served first, the hostess never ‘finishes eating before all her guests are quite through. ‘ 12. Without A Maid Dinners "en famille," or family service without a maid, can be very attractive provided merely that a few simple directions are â€" observed. Avoid elaborate menus, _ Use a tea table, especially if it has two shelves and a drawer for silver, for service. Salad and dessert may be placed on this tea table, and later it may be used for soiled dishes from the main course. It is located most convenâ€" iently at right of hostess. In serving meat and vegetables, arrangement depends on whether one or more perâ€" sons do the serving. If host serves the meat, place platter directly in front of him with plates at immeâ€" diate left. If he is to serve one of the vegetables also, place dish at his right. If some other member of family serves the vegetables, host will pass plate with meat along left side of table to one serving vegeâ€" tables, and plate is then passed along to person sitting at host‘s right. When host serves complete plate, the first is passed to right and sucâ€" ceeding plates to other ladies and then to man at right of hostess and | dishes are hot or when dishes are so small that the hand. would . be seen; never fill water glass more than threeâ€"fourths, and for a formal dinner at home chill the water with ice cubes in a pitcher or bottle on the service table but do not put cubes in glass; after guests are seated, never remove glass from table to refill it, but pour from bottle slowly and have napkin foldâ€" ‘ ed around neck of bottle to catch any drops; just before the dessert course, _crumb the table with napkin and plate, but going only to those places that need this attention; bread and butter plates are not used at strictly formal dinners, but if used, place butter pats in upper leftâ€"hand corâ€" ner of plate just inside the rim; hot rolls are placed in folded napkins and corner is turned back as dish is served to each guest, and be sure to replenish supply as seon as it begins to diminish on plate; as a general rule, serve from the left with the left hand, except beverages which are served from the right, and reâ€" move soiled articles from right with right hand.

This <will preserve the paint and keep it soft until ready to use again. : Cocoa It is found that cocoa is not sufâ€" ficiently digestible, it can be made so by allowing it to cool, removing the globules of fat, and then reheating it. £ Woollen Blankets After washing and drying the woollen blankets, beat them well beâ€" fore storing. This will raise the fluff and give them a much better appearâ€" ance. HOME HINTS Worn Linoleum Watch for any tiny holes in the linoleum, and as soon as one appears pour a little hot parafin in it, smooth it over evenly with a knife, and let it harden. This will prevent the hole from enlarging. When tea or coffee is served, place container at right of hostess with sufficient room for one cup and sauâ€" cer between container and her plate, the rest of the cups being placed at left with handles towards _ hostess, and creamer and sugar bow!l directly in front of her plate. _ Accessories and special accompaniments to varâ€" ious courses are placed on table, and person nearest them pass them to the guests. ‘ so on, until all are served. ~!p> "And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat," The husks won‘t satisfy. They may keep down the gnawing pangs of hunger, they may stay the appetite for the hour, but they do not nourish, Take any pleasure or pursuit that is ungodly, and you know that this is all it does, "And "And de went." He should have gone straight home, Pride kept him from doing so. "And joined himself to one of the citizens of that counâ€" try." The verb means, literally, "to glue together, to cement," hence "to cleave to." He could have been in the affectionate embrace of his faâ€" ther; his wilfulness has driven him to cling desperately to a stranger. "And he sent him into his fields to feed swine." This was to a Hebrew the uttermost depths of degradation. it, "And he began to be in want." Sin and Satan are man‘s greatest robbers (John 10: 8, 10), yet this phrase which speaks of suffering is the first real hopeful indication we have of this wretched man‘s possible recovery, a far country, away from God and from the way of honor and uprightâ€" ness, "And there he wasted his substance," His assets included the strength of a young man, & muniâ€" ficent inheritance, religious | trainâ€" ing, a strong will and, no doubt, a winsome personality, "With riotous living." The word here translated riotous means abandoned, profligate, dissolute, with the idea of rushing headlong into wickedness, "And when he bad spent all." That is the inevitable issue of waste. "There arose a mighty famine in that country." One of the many ways in which God brings us _ back to himself is by bringing distress when we, as sinners, can least bear "And not many days after." _ He did not go the moment he had what he wanted. "The younger son gaâ€" thered all together." To a tender soul, the things of the home life would have â€" spoken eloquently of love and care; but they had no such voice for him,. "And took Ais jourâ€" ney into a far country." What a pull the far country has for many a young man, and many a young woâ€" man, an invisible magnetism. One can live at home, and still be in "And the younger of them said to his father," The one that would, as a rule, be given dis own way probâ€" ably more than the other children of the family, "Fathor, give me the portion of thy substance that falleth to me." Each child got, according to Mosaic law, one portion, and the eldest got two portions (Deut, 21: 17); in this case the youngest got a third, and twoâ€"thirds remained the common property of father and eldâ€" er son. "And he said, a certain man had two sons." A simple sentence of fact, but:assumes at least three things: deep love, the love of a paâ€" rent for his children, pride in his sons; hope for his sons, Time and place â€" The events reâ€" corded at the beginning of Isaiah occurred, approximately 760 B.C.

His abandonment to sin, losing himselft to his family, his home, his better self, was death indeed (Romans 6: 13; Eph. 2: 15 5: 14; Rev. 3: 1). "And is alive again." It is God‘s great work, through Christ, to give eternal life to those who were dead in trespasses and sins (Romans 6: 4; 8: 11); Eph, 2; 5; Col. 2: 13) "He was lost," For the lost Christ came (Matthew 18: 11; Luke 19; 10). "And is found." The entire chapter is devoted to illustrating how God, through Christ, seeks out and finds the lost. "And they began to be amerry." Nothing brings such joy as returning to God, to obedience to God‘s law, to accepting as Saviour God‘s only begotten son. See Matâ€" thew 2; 10; Luke 15; 7; Acts 8: 8. "And bring the fatted . calf and kill it, and let us eat, and make mer ry." Many believe that the slaying of this animal was a sacrifice, and that here we have hinted that atoneâ€" ment was made for the sin of the son. "And the son said unto him, Faâ€" ther, I have sinned against deaven, and in thy sight: I am no more worthy to be called thy son. He went back to that hour, and said: What I thought right was wrong, and what I thought would be liberty has proved to be slavery, "But the father said to his servâ€" ants, Bring forth quickly the best robe and put it on him, Obliterate the traces of a wretched pastâ€" as soon as possible. "And put" a ring on his hand." It was not only a token that his love for him had nevâ€" er died, but it was a pledge that it swould never die, "And shoes on bi; feet." The slaves wore ‘no shoes. y "And he arose, and came to his father." This young man first had a change of heart, before he turned about and returned home. "But while he was yet afar off, his father saw him." This shows that the father had been looking for him to come back and was even looking at this very moment as he came in sight, "And was moved with comâ€" passio..," Literally, _ compassion means to suffer with another, "And ran, and fell on his neck and kissâ€" ed him." He did not win his faâ€" ther‘s loveâ€"that love Aad always been there. God loves us long beâ€" fore we love and obey him (1I. John 4: 19). "I mm no more worthy to be callâ€" ed thy son; make me as one if thy hired servants." â€" A broken and a contrite heart, a spirit of true huâ€" mility, unmistakably indicate the genuinenéss of his confession of sin. "I will arise." There were many , things this young man could not do even if he wanted to, e.g., he could | not by his own will power break his ginful habits, But he could arise,‘ "And go to my father," He is going‘ back to the place of love, back where he belonged, back to the place ‘ where he took the wrong road.

Smss oolgtine In a warm humid region trees grow with such vigor that they have been known to complete a ring cycle within one month,. So if a horizonâ€" tal core of the tree were extracted for ‘the purpose of counting rings the record would be most misleading At first thought one might im agine that El Tule‘s age would be a simple matter for modern science, since it is comparatively easy to deâ€" termine the age of our giant redâ€" woods and Douglas firs by counting the annual rings. But the ring count on a tropical tree is another matter. from other prehistoric tombs. The latter is the site of magnificent fresâ€" coes and sculptures and the grave of the Zapotecan kings. The proximity of El Tule to such remarkable ruins as Mitlia and Mount Alban argues that the giant tree did not go unnoticed among those ancient people. It was on the general line of transit between Monte Alban and Mitla. The forâ€" mer is the King Tut‘s tomb of the New World, having yielded a collecâ€" tion of gold masks and jewellery which vie with similar collections Among the Indian tribes of Oaxâ€" aca, as with many primitive people, tree worship is one of the bases of of religion. Such worship has perâ€" s‘sted in Mexico down to this very day, despite the fact that most of the sacred trees stand beside churches of the Catholic faith, But El Tule was venerated and worshipped long before the advent of Catholic missionaries, and it was this extreme devotion which preâ€" vented vandals from destroying the tree and using it for firewood. It is dangerous for anybody even to cut his initials® into the barkâ€"that would be tantamount to carving them on the statue of a ‘god. To this very day, El Tule is an object _ of _ profound _ venerat on among the Indians. Twice a year they make pilgrimages to the site, where they hold a fiesta with apâ€" propriate music and dancing. Sevâ€" eral centuries ago, the Catholic priests realized the power of this veneration and deglared El Tule the property of their faith. They found» ed an outpost of Christianity, erect» ed a church in the shadow of FA Tule, and sanctified the ground with holy devotions. El Tule throws a ground shadow with an area of 7,200 square feet when the sun is at its zenith, enough for a small army to shelter beneath its spreading branches. Indeed, it is rumored that none other than Hernan Cortes and his army campâ€" ed there, on the march to Hondurâ€" as. _ This colossal tree is a museum piece among all the flora of the earth. Its health is perfect, and if anything is wrong it is nothing more than an â€" extraordinary pituitary gland. ~Following the sinuosities of its gigantic trunk, one measures its périmeter as 108 feet at a height of five feet above the ground. So far as is known, no organism ever atâ€" tained such a vast girth. The girth is out of all proportion to its height of 141 feet which is surpassed by trees in more temperate climates. All living things have a given span of life, but El Tule (as the tree is called) has outlivea every span, has survived civilizations, conâ€" quests, revolutions, cataclysms, and is now, by every known criterion, the oldest living thing on the earth. Yet nobody knows the precise age of El Tule, notwiths:anding that on the average of once a year somebody announces a new figure. C ) _ 4 t«
