A half cupful of chopped left-over steak, a couple of chops or a bit
of chicken or a box of sardines, make a good foundation for molds of tomato
jelly. Served with bread and butter sandwiches and coffee they are quite
sufficient for afternoon or evening cards.
Many of the ices in this book are new and attractive. The new sorbets are
liked by those who are always striving for a change. Many are old and
reliable.
At large affairs, serve from the dining table.
At card parties, large and small, serve on the card tables, using a small
tea cloth on each table.
At afternoon teas, serve from the tea table in the drawing room.
At lawn parties, serve from a large table on the lawn. Small tables may be
placed here and there for the convenience of guests.
Every day afternoon tea may be served, in the summer on the porch, in the
winter, in the living room or library.
If two dishes only are served, be sure that they harmonize with each other
and with the manner of service.
Suitable and hygienic combinations are always to be considered, but the
aesthetic side seems to me of equal importance.
COFFEE FOR LARGE HOME AFFAIRS
Allow eleven ounces of finely ground coffee to each gallon of water. This
will serve twenty five persons with one coffee cup each, and forty persons
with after-dinner cups. The better way to make a large quantity of coffee
without an urn is to purchase a new wash boiler.
