Show BILL OF FARE FOR A CHRISTMAS DINNER .... First Course Gladness. This must be served hot. No two house-keepers make it alike; no Tixed rule can be given for it. Kntrees Love garnished with Smiles. Gentleness with sweet-wine sweet-wine sauce of Laughter; Gracious speech, cooked with any fine bavory herbs, such as Drollery, which is always in season, or Pleasant Reminiscence, which no one need be without, as it keeps years, seaicd or unsealed. Second Course Hospitality. In some houses Hospitality is brought on surrounded with Relatives. In others, it is dished up , with Dignitaries of all sorts; men and women of position and estate es-tate for whom the guest has special likings or uses. This gives a fine effect to the eye, but cools quickly and is not, in the long run, satisfying. In a third class, best of all, it is served in simple shapes, but with a great variety of Unfortunate Persons such as lonely people from lodging houses, poor people of all grades, widows wid-ows and childless in their affliction. This is the kind more preferred pre-ferred ; in fact, never abandoned by those who have tried it. For Dessert Mirth in glasses. Gratitude and Faith beaten together to-gether and piled up in snowy shapes. These will look light if run . over night in molds of Solid Trust and Patience. This is a short and simple bill of fare. There is not a costly thing in it; not a -: thing which cannot be procured without difficulty. From De- comber Clubwomen. o |
