THE THOUGHT PLANTERS
you know are probably so
clever at their thought plant-

then if they do succeed you dont
realize that they are thought

lltfil they leave all trace of their
craft behind them. Most. folk.
however. are not successful at this
delicate art of thought planting
and a great deal of time is wasted

The Attractive Service Is Half the Charm of the Tea Hour .The Eyes... of

tea tables that would be a charm-

They consist of a table of wood
and ironwork. topped by a, his
tray in painted and carved wood.
Another novelty is a wood tidin
table—two round trays of pol-
ished wood that fit. on a collapsible
frame of wood. indeed. it is
shaped just like the better known
wicker titlins. Its advantsxe over
the wicker table is that its trays
are stronger. and its advent so

space.
A lovely Chinese lacquered tea
tray is hinged on its frame so that
it. may be tipped straight against
the wall when it is not in use.
When it. is snapped open it makes
a sizeahio and substantial tea
trey. which can be carried about

is n continuation of the base.

the thing we do when we get up
in'the morning is to close the win-

as an appetizer for Tuesday dinner
is .made from skinned sardines.
Each sardine is cut in half and two
or three of these sardines are placed
in each cocktail glass. Make a cock-
tail ssuce and put a spoon or two
over each. If you like, add shredded

: Pieces of Silver
it‘ you are in search for the un-
I usual but useful wedding pree-
out you may dccide to buy one
of the new pieces 01’ silver table-
“are. if the bride is having a
[limited number of the necessary
piet‘t‘s ol‘ silver as a gift‘ from
ifzitlicr. mother or some indulgent
friend then it is a good plan to
‘gct your additional pieces of the
lsame pattern.
‘ An ice spoon is a useful and at—
‘tractire piece. it is a‘ broad
howled spoon with perforations.
Lfor use when using chopped ice
on the. table. it might be used
.as a tomato or berry spoon as
well. The ice tongs look like a
ilargc sugar tongs serve that there
lie but one claw with a perforated
lspoon bowl opposite.
i if you are in search of a very
;smell piece. a butter pick is a good
iselection. Most honsewivves now-
adays would fled this more no-
lceptshle than a butter knife. as
tit is more convenient when used
with butter balls or rolls.
For the bride who delights in
giving afternoon refreshments
and who likes an attractively ap-
pointed tea table, sandwich tongs
are always welcome. In some
patterns there is a fork with two
wide~apart tines that is sold for
serving sandwiches and is also
used for serving baked potatoes
A lemon fork is another attractive
accessory for the tea table. and
suitable for the person who does
not wish to make a very large
gift. A sort of spoon with a very
flat bowl is called a, croquette
server. but. it would be useful in
serving small frosted cakes. tarts.
and small pastries. A fish knife
and fork are pieces not always
included in the silver chest that
are usually very acceptable.
‘For the economical bride a
silver handled. steel bladed bread
knife is a good suggestion. but
of course no one would need this
piece unless the bread was cut
