The most delicious dinner in the world put just any way on the table could not be called an ex cellent dinner. We are going to talk over together the right way to set a table and serve a meal. After 'we have seen that the room in which we are gdg to set the table is clean, in order, and no dust or flies about, we will begin to set- the table. 1. Cover the table with a silence cloth. This may be one bought for the purpose, or a clean, white, cotton blanket, or heavy canton flannel. This cloth is used, as its name sug gests to prevent the noise when dishes and silver are placed on an unprotected table. 2. Over this spread a clean table cloth, large enough to fall on all sidts, well over the edge of the table. Keep the center of the cloth on the center of the tafcle, its whole length. 3. In the center of the table place a bowl of flowers or fruit. 4. Next we will set one cover. A cover is the plated knife, fork, glass, etc., used by one person. Here is an illustration of a cover: 'The plate is placed, turned upward, one-half inch from the edge of the table. (To turn plates and glasses upside down or to cover silver with the overturned plate, suggests there might be flies or dust about. We want to keep the room in which we eat so clean we can -put our dishes as they should be on a well-set table.) Place the knife to the right of the plate, with the cutting edge toward the plate, and the fork on the left of the plate with the tines up. Since we hold our knife for cutting in the right, hand and the fork in the left, for convenience we place them in this way on the table. Spoons, since we use them in the right hand, are placed to the right of the knife, bowl turned up. All these should be one-half inch from the edge of the table as the plate is. At the end of the knife-blade place the glass. The napkin goes to the left of the fork, keeping it one-half inch from edge of the table, with the folded edges away from the plate and the edge of the table. If you want to use a bread-and-butter plate, place it at the end and a little to the left of the fork. Place the salt-and-pepper shaker, if there is one for each cover, just above the plate-. A cover must be set for each person at the table. The meat platter or main dish should be placed in front of the server, lengthwise and straight. Place the v carving knife and fork on each side and a tablespoon in front of the platter. i Place the vegetable dishes, if one or two, in front of the person- who sits at the head of the table, with tablespoon at server's right. If there is another vegetable dish, or bread plate, place it on the side, opposite the middle cover, with tablespoon to right if needed. If bread-and-butter plates are not used, place the butter dish near edge of table with the butter knife. To the right of the hostess should be placed the coffee or teapot, sugar and cream, a little to . the right of the center of her cover and to the left the cups in saucers. - A chair is placed at each cover, just near enough to the table so a person can take his seat without moving the chair. i Now that the table is ready, vegetable or main dish, butter plate and knife, bread plate, all correctly placed, wc will take our places at the table, serve and eat our meal. HARRIET LAYTON, Home Demonstration Division Florida. A Friendly Garden A BEAUTIFUL and unique garden was . grown last year by Mrs. Colt Redfern, of Wadesboro, N. C. She asked plants, seeds, and cuttings, especially those of the old fashioned variety, from ' her friends. On each side of the roadway from the main road tjo her home was a wide border of bloom, a delight tb the family and a sweet memory to the passer-by. Spray Roses for Mildew gPRAY roses now for mildew.
