MRS. S.M., I fully agree with you, we are much more refined in our methods of dining than were our English ancestors, and they were much more refined than their ancestors. They copied many of the luxurious habits of Roman conqueiors, but as the world progressed they gradually cut down their expensive entertainments and service. It was strange, perhaps, that people of plain instincts that came under the influence of Rome, Ilould not only abandon their own nationality but follow the luxurious habits of their rulers. As late as the century century Squash racquets is rapidly gaining in popularity with women players in Pittsburgh, having recruited a large number of feminine enthusiasts in Boston and New York.

By all means, it is just the game to give her the sort of exercise which enables her to look so well in the new 0 fitted frocks. It is a strenuous game; it keeps her active every minute, first on her toes, then bending low, i now reaching high to swat the little black ball and gain another point.

This was preceded by two or three varieties of fish and, strange as it may seera, game was served after the fish and before the main course. I presume this was that they might get the real taste of the game before the palate waatisfied. We are told that even the merchants tried to keep up this same rate of din ing. We would hardly call this dining in our day. I am sure it would be considered a gluttonous feast.

I notice in a record that this overeating was given as the cause of many diseases. But gradually the dinner hour pushed later in the day and. instead of having three meals, one large and twO small ones. In process of time tea and coffee came into eommon use. and in some countries they have as many as four or five small meals a day, but only one substantial meal.

I remember, when Dr. Kitchener was teaching the chemistry of food he advised people to eat a light breakfast, a light luncheon near noon. a cup of tea. perhaps, and a sandwich at 3 o'clock and dinner at 7. At a very beautiful reception to which I was invited recently, where refreshments were served by a very noted caterer.

I was handed a plate with a lobster cutlet. chicken salad. a small pyramid of ham shavings and a plain slice of bread without butter. This may be the coming fashion. A dainty sandwich is more easily handled than ordinary bread and butter or bread alone.

The ordinary square loaf of bread generally used throughout the country cannot be cut as thin as a wafer. It crumbles. And a thick slice of bread is certainly unattractive. To my mind. the only rational way or entertaining is with little dinners perfect in every detail.

People in ordinary circumstances cannot make a sucCeSs of large or elaborate dishes without getting someone in to cook them. And that to me, is one of the St uncomfortable conditions. The woman who comes. cooks for 25 to ZO other families and she gets into a routine perhape very different from that you usually serve. which makes the dinner more or less of a burden and a diLppointment.

And this makes the hostess too weary to be bright. There are many things that can be done to simplify still more our usual dinners. But the one thing to me that is almost unpardonable is what I Call a kitchen service. dishing things in the kitchen on the dinner plate and bringing them to the guests. If you are without maid and you must do the work of serving yourself, have a side table and serve from it.

not from the kitchen where you must run in and out with perhaps two plates at a time. No matter bow simple your meal. sit with your guests and enjoy it. Never under any circumstances, wait on your guests and eat after they have finished. Never have too many people at a time.

Better three small dinners than one large if you do your own work. Just a few congenial people around an evening dinner table can have the pleasantest time. I like a dinner in the evening because there Is something about a meal when the sun is down and the lights are up. that seems to make people talk as they never do at a noon-day dinner. 1 Club News 1 give a card party in a F- S.
