Miss ilobertson described an epicurean banquet nt the Ambassador West hotel, called "The Queen's luncheon" and Attended by 500 women. The menu for the parly was the niimu planned for a luncheon for Queen Kllnbotli and Prince l'hlllp by Gov. William G. Stratton of Illinois when tho royal couple visited Chicago. "The luncheon begins with "Swan Canterbury" which consists of fresh pineapple on a bed of laurel leaves sur rounded by swans' heads of meringue. It rises to a gustatory climax, with a five-deck entree that reads, from top to bottom, mushroom, grilled tomato, eye-of-lamb sautccd fines herbes, croutons and artichoke hearts, "The 'Ileau Nash Delight' dessert was basket-shaped hazelnut torte filled with chocolate Ire cream, the whole drenched In klrseh."

A couple of hundred guests feasted at Rogue Valley Country club a week ago Saturday night on tender barbecued beef cooked outdoors over the coals and served up with salads, cheeses of many kinds, various burs d'oeuvres and lots of fresh pineapple, slnco the party was In the luau theme. And then there was the Feasting of the Tribe of Will at Ashland Monday night when the Oregon Shakespearean fes tival opened Its 10(10 season. A feast it truly was barbecued chicken, corn on the cob, a green salad, huge baked potatoes, rolls and ice cream. Plates were literally piled high so high that muny guests lost the rolls-whlch rolled right off their plates on to the grass or Into the shrubbery.

There was no champagne, but one of the West's big brewing companies provides beer for the feast each year. What to wear for the feast and opening night play usually poses a problem for the women. The open air dinner usually starts curly enough that it is still warm, but before the play is over, in all likelihood It will be cool, perhaps actually cold, In the roofless Shakespearean theater. Mr. Howard Bclton of Salem (her husband represented Governor Mark Hatfield who was in Chicago for the GOP convention), looked smart in a dark summer suit, and Mrs. Morgan Odell of Portland, wife of the retiring president of Lewis and Clark college, wore a pretty summer print frock. Governor Hatfield's cousins, Mr. and Mrs. James Hat field, were among the guests and Mrs. Hatfield looked most chic in a dark sheath frock worn with a pale fur stole. Also among the throng was Nanette Holmes Osgood whose strik ing brunette beauty Is accented by a deep tan. Mrs. Osgood, who came up from San Francisco to spend some time with relatives and at the Lake of the Woods, wore a low cut sum mer frock of green. The clipping basket also brought up a story from the Netherlands Information service about how Prince Bern hard and the Dutch bakers, opening the recent International Bakery exhibition, put emphasis on a project which they arc starling "Bread for the World." The story said that Dutchman arc shocked by statements of the UN Food and Agricultural Organization, carrying on a world-wide anti hunger campaign, that "from 30 to 40 million of the world's people die from hunger or malnutrition ever year. In simple arithmetic this mean that four out of every five deaths arc directly or indirectly caused by starvation. No wonder this has been called World Problem Number One. O.S.
