Meal for
Stag Party
By ZOLA VINCENT
We firmly believe that it li
a wise wife who oeawlonally
encourage the man of the
- bouse to give a party for hit
favorite cronies. She la dou
bly wise if she arrangea the
makings of a good hearty buf
fet such as pictured above
and then hies herself to other
places for the evening; re
turning only after the coast if
clear.
The plan ot a buffet for
male meal is staple. There
are lust two things to remem
ber. First, the table should
be arranged for an Interesting
display of food, conveniently
placed for self service. Sec.
ond, the foods should be es
pecially tempting, varied and
the kind that holds its shape
while standing. Can't think of
a thing better than the plctur
ed assortment on a wooden
tray for cutting and slicing
directly on the tray.
Cheese Arrangement
Use a red-coated cheese
such as ChRTitelle as the cer
terplece. Before placing it on
the tray, add a decorative
touch by cutting it Into pie-
shaped wedges and removing
a small triangle of wax coat
ing from the center of each
wedge. Next surround t h
cheese with a row of round
buttery crackers and square
wheat wafers, grouping each
kind together. In the corners,
place a wedge of marbled
blue, Langlois or Roquefort,
a wedge of aged Cheddar, sev
eral wedges of creamy Cam-
embert and thin slices of pl-
mlento - flecked processed
cheese.
Plates, peper napkins, a
cheese knife or butter spread
ers; that about does it. Only
thing the man who brings
home the bacon has to do is to
pour.tangy beer into tall pll
sener or other . appropriate
glasses at the psychological
moment.
If there are coffee drinkers,
Instant coffee is obviously
ideal. Mine "host need only
bring some water to a boll,
being sure that the tea ket
tle is filled with fresh bub
bling water from the cold wa
ter faucet. Follow directions
on coffee Jar. Cups and sau
cers, cream and sugar on a
tray nearby. Nothing to do
except to listen to compli
ments relayel by husband.

Honey Is Useful
Food; Many Ideas
On It Presented
Teh, Tchl Honey Week has
slipped past us but we'll try
to make amends. There's a
tine crop of honey. Honey,
the oldest of the world's sweet

poly here. It seems that honey
bees are absolutely essential
In the polination of some 30
agricultural crops. So let's
keep the bees busy and give
the family a treat by using
honey in ways like these:
Honey Uses
Besides being dandy for hot
biscuits, pancakes, waffles and
all other hot breads, honey
is fine in cakes, cookies, steam
ed puddings, quick breads and
confections where a moist or
soft texture is desirable. Hon
ey is good for sweetening bak
ed or soft custards.
To use honey instead of su
gar in a cake or cookie recipe,
replace the sugar with honey
cup for cup but use half
the quantity of other liquid
called for in the recipe. When
baking, keep oven tempera
ture moderate because mix
tures made with honey brown
more easily and high tempera
tures tend to change the flav
or of honey.
