Tables have been engaged for ( * weeks, and the demand is so great that ; t all the rooms usually reserved for I L drawing rooms are to bo furnished J5 with supper tables. * In regoi\I to specific arrangements it Is the mode at present to have every- j 5" thing at the hotel table ns delicately fine as if one were entertaining at , one's own homo. If a dish is served < that can be carved on the table the hostees wishes to supervise it, and any chafing dish article must have the finishing touches put in by her. Often o she will make tlio salad dressing, all with the notion to give the appearance of the private entertaining with . the public environment "The old time favorites, canvnsback and terrapin, are no longer named by those ordering in advance or by the . chef who prepares the regular menu for such occasions." said a hotel mantiger. "These articles of food are dif- i (J1 flcult to procure, expensive, and.. besides, tastes have changed. j Fa "The favorite supper dish now Is j ^ soma kind of shellfish daintily prfepar- I ed so that one can hardly rcc<5?nlzo Xe its flavor. The approved menu is ca- ' th< vlare or oysters on the shell, a eonsom- 1 flic me or clam broth en tassc, an entree . a(j of rweetbreads, frogs' legs, lobster a j jn^ la Newburg, game and yalad and lce3 with delicious cakes." ^ Chrysanthemums and American js Beauties lead In the matter of floral ' rj decorations, with the usual bolidhy si0 oonro to old rnrxiTT. ty background of greer*, holly and mis- ^ai tletoe berries and fed rlbbona.
