How to Serve an Informal Dinner.
An Informal home dinner, if there
re guests. Is served much as the for
mal one. An exception may be made
la the item of soup. This may be
erred on the table from the tureen.
But one soup plate at a time is placed
before the host or hostess, whichever
one may serve. These are taken from
the sideboard by the maid as each is
required. Then it is passed to the
guest at the right of the hostess.
Fish may be served by the host and
In the same manner, but as many as
four plates at a time may be placed
for serving before the host.
Entrees are always served from the
side table.
All sauces and also the vegetables
are served from the side table and at
the left side of each guest.
If the host desires the salad may be
dressed and served at the table.
It is the duty of the hostess to serve
dessert if this is not served from the
side and pour the coffee.
Though the cream and sugar for the
coffee are passed at the left of the
diner, the coffee is placed at the right.
Wine is not necessary. The iced wa
ter and bread are on the table before
the guests enter the dining room; also
bonbons and hors d'oeuvres may be on
the table.
- At informal dinners and luncheons
the service plate may be omitted."
Wholesome Sandwiches.
It was the memory of a childhood ap
petite which inspired a woman to serve
brown bread sandwiches spread with
horseradish and sugar with ber after
noon tea the other day. It was a crisp
kind of afternoon, and the sunppy
pungency of the horseradish was de
lightful. The horseradish had. of
course, been mixed with vinegar, the
slightest possible amount used, and it
was sprinkled lightly with powdered
sugar. The brown bread was made of
whole wheat and graham flour and
was cut as thin as possible. White
bread sandwiches sprinkled with sugar
are a delight in one household where
everybody has a sweet tooth. It may
be that the fashionable "nervous stom
ach" has been cultivated as much by
the goodies in the way of cakes and
bonbons served at daily teas as any
thing else. Sweet sandwiches are twice
as healthy and to most persons are a
welcome relief from the universal
American cake habit.
Turkey Salad.
Eoast turkey left from dinner makes
delicious salad mixed with celery
seasoned with capers and dressed with
mayonnaise. The usual directions call
for equal parts of meat and celery,
but there is no hard and fast rule.
The amount of the meat on hand and
the taste olthe family are strong con
siderations. The meat left from roast
fowl of any kind makes a delicious
souffle. An old rule calls for two cup
fuls of meat chopped fine, a cupful of
breadcrumbs, a cupful of white sauce
and two eggs, the yolks beaten creamy
and added to the mixture, and the
whites beaten stiff, folded in at the
last minute. Bake about fifteen or
twenty minutes and send directly from
the oven to the table.
Homemade Corn Popper,
A woman looking for an electric corn
popper the other day found that she
had everything needful for such a
utensil except a ten cent popper of the
usual long handle and wire cage kind.
There is a little oblong electric stove
that, comes complete with griddle and
toaster which makes an ideal arrange
ment for popping corn, and it is a great
improvement over the gas or coal stove,
for it may be used on any table in the
house with a tray under it. It does not
heat the face, and the heat is very
even. The smallest popper is best for it.
Chicken a la King.
One breast of chicken, two boiled po
tatoes, one pint of cream sauce and
two boiled green peppers. Fry in a
saucepan the sliced green peppers, pour
over them a thin cream sauce and le
boil for about five minutes. Add to I.
the sliced chicken and sliced potatoes,
let simmer for awhile, season with salt
and pepper to taste, finish with a piece
of butter and serve very hot in 8
chafing dish with toast on the side.
Mushrooms may be used instead of po
tatoes if desired.
Pot Roast
Take any kind of meat; put Into an
Iron pot a tablespoonful of meat fry
lngs or butter; let it brown: wash off
the roast and put into the pot. After
It begins to fry pour in enough water
to half cover the meat, season with
pepper and salt, cover and stew slow
ly. As the meat begins to fry nil
more water: turn it often and cook
about three hours. A half hour before
serving add either Irish or sweet po
tatoes or turnips and let them brown
with the meat.
Split Pea Soup. .
Take one pint of split peas and two
quarts of water, cold. Wash the peas
and let soak overnight in water. In
the morning simmer them until noon
at least, strain through a sieve, remov
ing all hard particles. Season with
pepper and salt. Add one-half cupful
of sweet cream or small lumps of but
ter. This recipe makes one quart of
soup.
More Curious Than Comfortable. '
- The Mashukulumbui natives of
northwestern Rhodesia have a most
wonderful headdress, which Is made
up of cuttings of hair from other boys'
beads mixed with mud and grease.
Sometimes these topknots are studded
with all sorts of curiosities, such as
beads, . bits of broken crockery, brass
paper fasteners (the latter generally
stolen by the native messengers from
the native commissioner's office), feath
ers, and so forth. The result forms one
of the most curious coiffures in the
world. London Strand.

The Horseshoe as a Mascot.
The superstition that associates -horseshoe
with good luck is very old
It is said to prevail nt oul.v among
English speaking pcopm. but in all
races of Europe and Asia. Antiquaries
are undecided whether its origin has
to do with the material from which
the horseshoe is made or with its
shape. Some writers on this subject
have surmised that the lucky qualities
attributed to the horseshoe were de
rived from its fancied resemblance to
the halo pictured about the beads of
saints, but this connection is highly
Improbable, as it is known that the su
perstition certainly antedates Chtisti
anity.
Man Gets a Bouquet.
One foggy morning recently a Lack
awanna ferryboat was In collision with
a tug. No great damage was done, but
for a few moments considerable ex
citement prevailed among the commut
ers. One woman iu particular lyistuil
for the rail and in her panic seemed
bent on leapiDg overboard. An athletic
young man restrained her, assuring her
there was no danger. At length she
was sufficiently calmed lo speak, and
then, clinging to her preserver's arm.
she gasped: "Vou know. I'm a spinster
and a suffragette, but there certainly
are times when a man is a mighty
good thing to have around." New

has no means of knowing how long
the disease has existed In the region,
but desires to notify bee keepersof tht
trouble and to suggest that, if not al
ready informed concerning the dis
ease, they inform themselves at once.
Very frequently colonies of. bees are
destroyed by disease and the loss is
attributed by the bee keeper to some
other cause. Farmers' Bulletin No.
442, The Treatment of Bee; Diseases,
gives a description of the brood dis
eases and jnethod3 of treatment. It
will be sent free on request to the
Secretary of Agriculture, Washington,
d. c. ;
Attention is also called to the fact
that the brood diseases do not at all
injure honey for human consumption,
so that there need be no fear on the
part of purchasers of honey.

HOP BUYING BRISK
AT VALLEY POINTS
There has been heavy buying of
hops in the Willamette Valley during
the past twenty-four .hours. '
Dealers that are supposed to be
operating for the account of short
sellers have been the principal opera
tors. The price paid ranged, from 25
to 26c a pound for ordinary goods.
. Practically all the weak growers
have sold their holdings and the mar
ket is again Ann with the indications
strongly for an advance. There are
plenty of orders now available and
-everyone is now trying to buy.
Most of the business that has pass
ed recently has been for foreign ship
ment. This would indicate -that the
shorts are making their profits as it
was in Europe that they began to beat
down the price or Pacific Coast hops.
Among the operators who .are re
ported to have secured supplies since
Saturday are Harry L. Hart, A. J.
Ray, Pincus & .Sons and Seavey Hoy
Company. The purchases were en
tirely confined to small lots from var
ious dealers. -
Holders of better quality hops are
refusing offerings that are within a
fraction of 33c a pound therefore the
outlook is much more favorable than
for some time.
All the efforts of shorts to force
the selling of contracts have thus far
failed. Business is available around
26 l-2c and even better for selected
lots of 1912s.
