A SUMMER LUNCHEON
"N THE summer you perhaps will wish
entertain In an informal way a
guests, and I am solng to an
swer generally the numerous requests
for this kind of entertainment. First of
all, you must consider the weather, and
Jo everything possible to make your
guests cool and comfortable.
Tha clean, cool house, with bowls Of
wild flowers or flowers from the garden,
should be supplied with Comfortable
chairs, and after your .guests are re
lieved of their hats and handbags they
should be refreshed with some fruit
punch. Make this of lemons, oranges,
pineapple Juice or grape Juloe, with the
thin slices of the fruit floating on top.
Serve In sherbet glasses, or have one of
your friends officiate awthe table. Do
not give any cakes, as tne luncheon will
be given, and nothing Is more pleasing
to a hostess than the good appetites of
her guests.
Many forms of amusement can be
given. As a rule, women do not like to
do any brain work on a warm day.

Indoor hours, if you have an engaged
friend who is marking her linens, an ex
cellent helpful way la to supply each
guest with needle and thimble and have
her work one lnMlal on a towel or
sapklo. In this way tha. many contri
butions will make a pleasant pile In the
linen chest, and the general sociability
Of the day will be In no way lessened.
Sewing garments for a poor family Is
another delightful way to pass an after
noon Arranging flowers in bouquets for
a hospital Is a suggestion for the coun
try hostess. If your guests are conge
nial and conversational, just a talking
circle should entertain. You know bet
ter than I.
When It Is time for your luncheon, the
guests should And their places by
means of place cards that can be easily
arranged by taking plain white cards,
cutting two parallel silts in each side,
and passing a rose, a pansy or any flow
er through the openings. Write the name
of each guest on the card. At each
place a bouquet to match the blossom
tn the card can be placed, with a
pretty pin and ribbon bow. A bowl of
flowers In the center of the table will
carry further the pretty floral idea.

are chopped anchovlea, a little ravlar,
chopped onions, etc.), or a raw tomato

Afier this, clear soup on which
whipped cream has been placed should
come. Follow this with croquettes or
broiled chicken and peas, a macedolne
of vegetables. Ice cream, bonbons and
coffee In small cups.
Remember that the clever hostess
need not be a great talker. She should
guide the conversation and bring out
each guest's best points. If one has
had a funny experience in London,
for Instance, there should be given a
graceful opportunity to tell It. Another
should be allowed to tell of her spe
cial work; a third, of a book Just read,
and so on.
The hostess should keep an eye on
each guest's plate, and give directions
in a low voice to her maid, if there be
one. No accident should rurfla her
temper or disturb the enjoyment Of
the meal. A poise, a graceful balance
should characterize the entertainers
manner.
And If you follow directions, your
guests will bav a delightful time.

and- treatment of her arms to soon be
able to wear With grace the clbow-

short puffs over the shoulders. '
The first stage In beautifying the arms
Is to wash them perfectly clean In warm
water, using a pure white soap and a
soft flesh brush for the elbows and the
skin on the outside of th arm both
i
above and below the elbow.
Now rub Into the skin a good cold
oream and massage firmly but gently,
rubbing up from the wrist to the elbow
and from that point tq the shoulder.
By pressing the flesh with the two fore
fingers of the hand, ufis a rotary mo
tion for muscle massage

You can make your own cold cream,
for which I give the formula:
Kentucky Cold Cream
Rosewater '? ounces
Almnnd oil ounces
SperAacetl 1 ounce
Whim ax 1 a"1"
Add the rosewater lowly, so that It will
mix well.
The elbows can be very greatly im
proved by soaking them for a few min
utes In olive oil and then massaging
them very thoroughly, both with the
arm outstretched and with the elbow
bent. Do this every day for a month
and note the Improvement.
Before you retire for the night apply
the following lotion and pull on long
gloves that will cover the elbows. Th
warmth thus created will open the
pores of the skin and allow the lotion
to ho absorbed more quickly; it also
helps to whiten the skin.
