There are three recognized methods of serving a formal dinner, each of which bus its advantages the Russian, the English and the "compromise" service. Naturally this last Is an adapt ing of the best of the most available from the other two. The English is selected where help is rather limited, because in Its use all belonging to one course Is placed upon the table at one time, the host and hostess serving meats and vegetables placed before them In platters. For this service the number of plates to be served may be set In a pile be fore the person who Is to carve, or. If preferred, on a side table, from where they are handed to him one at a time. As each plate is served by the carv er a maid presents it for a helping of some vegetable and then sets it down before a guest or member of the fam ily for whom it is intended. It Is un derstood, of course. In serving In this way that ladies are always helped first, men next, with hostess and host last Each course as finished is removed by a man or maid waiter or waitress; platters with the next course are placed, plates ore served as before, and so until dessert is reached. The last is the placing of finger bowls, each in its small plate, with doily beneath, di rectly in front of each guest. Where less formality is observed help is often dismissed when fruit and colTee are on the table, with the linger bowls already In place, and so the genial conversation of congenial people may go on until time to adjourn to piazza or lawn. The Russian Service. The Russian tabie service is differ ent There Is nothing to be seen on the table when the guests seat them selves but relishes, uuts and olives, bonbons, etc. Food is served either from the pantry or from a side table, where the carving Is done. Some times only a meat and one vegetable are on the plate served thus, the wait ress handing other foods In their re spective dishes. Again, the guests may find empty plates set before them. Then every thing is passed In rotation. Where a waitress has been properly trained she will always serve from the left hand, lifting the plate that has been used with the right, while she sets another In Its place with her left, so the table Is never without plates until it is to be cleared of crumbs and made ready for dessert A Butler's Assistant. A rule in serving in English style that ueedg attention is to be careful not to overcrowd dishes. A "butler's assistant" may be used where the hostess has not enough help. It Is a small piece of furniture that stands at the left of the hostess bearing many little articles that are likely to be needed, such as extra knives and forks, spoons, saucers, cream pitcher, etc. The handsome pitcher and glasses to match for iced tea, with long handled spoons, may be placed upon this useful table as well as the after dinner coffee service, with bowl for hot water, cream Jug and sugar dish, spoons and everything but the hot water and cof fee pot Monogrammed China. The hostess who entertains largely cannot do better than fill her china cup board with handsome monogrammed sets. In no other way Is one's individ uality so marked, and, while not any more expensive, there Is an air of ei cluslveuess about such china that goes far toward making a success of any formal affair where a table is to be Oiled with distinguished guests. Perhaps of all offered, the gold and white china, with gold monogram, Is the most to be desired. There is an air of refinement about such a set that no tinted ware, however delicate or expensive, carries. This refers, of course, only to the tableware. For candlesticks, pitchers - and the many small pieces for decorating as well as for their usefulness Limoges, Dresden, Sevres and all the charming makes will always be In demand. Drilling tha Waitress. One, if not the tlrst, rule to be learn ed by the entertaining hostess is that It Is better to spend a few hours in drilling a waitress into the routine of proper serving than to pass the bout or more at luncheon or dinner direct ing with uncoucenled nods and whis pers what to do next and how. A hostess whose entertaining left nothing to be desired Bald she took the trouble when engaging a new waitress to have n table set and the process of nerving courses gone through exactly as If guest were present Thus the girl became entirely at ease, and ev erything went perfectly on such occa alons Removing Crumbs. The one much uxed crumb tray and brnh have been discarded for the bet ter way of taking off crumlm by meant of a soft folded napkin Into a small troy or plate when the table is bnre When covered with u tnbleclotb a nil ver Tiimh knife Is better.
