" T DINNER!" exclaimed Mrs. 9 y f Lawrence In dismay; 9 A. V "I'll never dare got up f a dinner till 1 know more than I do now. I should be worried sick for a week before, and an for rational conversation whllo ire were at the table, it would simply be out of the question. I should be wondering If everything would go off all right." "Well," suggested her friend, "If you would like to entertain, why don't you give a luncheon to some of your girl friends? Luncheons are bo much more Informal than dinners, and If your luncheon goes off well, It will give you courage to attempt a dinner."- The bride dropped her embroidery suddenly. "I have It," she cried; "I'll get up an EiiRter luncheon, and invite my bridesmaids. Now you know," shi continued, confidentially, ns sho re sumed her work, "I'm a greenhorn, and I wish you'd Just advise me how to do it. Between you and me, I'm Just aching for a chance to show off my pretty cut gins nnd Bllver." Mrs. Klrke Bmlled. "Vanity," she remonstrated, "but if you would like to Invite your bridesmaids, I think I can help you get up a very pretty affair." "You're ever so good," replied the other gratefully, "for I'm so stupid about such things. Now, if it were a case of doing some Orcek prose, or translating a bit of Horace, I'd feel more at home. And I do wish I'd had a chnnce to learn housekeeping at college." "Well," responded her compnnlon, "I'll be only too glad to give you the benefit of my experience, such ns It is. In the first plnce, as long as it Is to be an Enster luncheon, your decora tions must be lilies, of course, and the color scheme green and white." "That would be pretty," comment ed Mrs. Lawrence, "and I have a handsome cut glass vase that would do for the lilies." Mrs. Klrke shook her bend. "No, I have a newer Iden than that. Get one of those pretty green mats from the florist's (wltli fringed edges), and doublo it over eorncr wiBe, fastening with a big bow of green ribbon. Then you can lay the lilies in that, so that some come out each end. It gives kind of a basket effect. The silver candelabra that your nunt gavo you will be Just the thing for the table, with green shaded candles." "But don't you think green gives a ghostly light?" objected the bride. "Not if you get the right shade," responded her friend, "and anyway you want it to harmonize with the rest of the luncheon. "Now for your, menu. I think it is a good idea to let the various courses carry out the color scheme, and you can have great variation in gr,een and white. First of all, have little neck clams served with water cress; there's your green for that course. Then for your soup. Lot me see. If I were you, I'd have cream of cucum ber. K's dainty and It Isn't a very common kind either." "Ib It hard to make? I have a good cook, you know." "Oh, not at all. If you can make one kind of cream soup, you can make them all. Now for your fish. Buppose you have boiled halibut with parsley Bauce, for that's a good green and white combination. For your meat, breaded spring lamb chops with peas, and if you want to do things up nicely,, follow this up ' with a mint Sherbet. . "Do you think your husband's pockctbook could stand sweetbrends? Creamed, they would make a lovely entree, and you can make up for it on your ealad. Just have plain let tuce with French dressing, and crack ers and cheese." Mrs.' Lawrence held up her hands in dismay. "Oh, I never could man age all that! I don't mean the ex pense, but getting the luncheon up." , Her friend laughed. "Oh, don't get frightened. Ml help you out Now for your last course. If you want something real pretty, have your Ice-cream in the form of lilies. They will be just the thing for a lily luncheon." . "I want some candy, don't I?" sug gested Mrs. Lawrence. "Oh, bless me!" exclaimed her friend. "What am I thinking of? Of course you want candy. Green and white, let me see. Suppose you get mint straws and vanilla bonbons, alid finish up with black coffee. Salt ed pecans would be nice to pass be tween the courses as a change from almonds, or peanuts." Mrs. Lawrence drew a long breath. "And you really think I can do all that?" she asked skeptically. Of course you can," was the re ply. "See here, Katie, you are mar ried and settled in a pretty house, and, as you sny, you have all your handsome wedding silver and cut glass for the table. Don't set out with the Idea that entertaining is a A Well Rounded Tall. great bugbear, but just be 'given to hOBpltnllty,' as the Dllilo tells you to be. You'll get a good deal of com fort out of your home thnt way. Why, that's the beauty of a home, to let others share It with you. "Now, as for the luncheon. I'll come over nnd help yon with it, and we can decorate It together. Even If everything doesn't go off all right, the girls won't be critical. Oh, be sure to tell them to wear their pretty bridesmaid s dresses, those white or gandies over green." It was with some trepidation that r CHRIST AT GETHSEM4NE. i i Twwwrn I "fair 5- rrto Mrs. Lawrence put the finishing ' touches to her table, but as she ar J ranged the lilies in the green basket, she surveyed with pleasure the artis tic effect. The candles shed a soft green light upon the snowy damask of tho tablecloth, nnd were reflected In the glittering silver and cut glass. 5oylies and centerpiece were em broidered la green, and even the china bore a design of maidenhair. The guests, who arrived a few mo ments later, had donned their dainty bridesmaid's gowns of white organdy over green, and wore bunches of lilies of the valley, the flower which they had carried at the wedding. "Oh, how pretty!" was the exclam ation as they were ushered Into the dining-room, and caught sight of the table with its decorations. One attractively served course suc ceeded another, and the ice-cream In lily molds made a fitting climax. "Well, Katie, you are a genius!" exclaimed the maid of honor, as she nibbled a bonbon; "for this Is cer tainly the prettiest luncheon I've ever been to. I don't believe you learned how at Vassar." The hostess smiled. 'Girls, I'll confess" she said; "Mrs. Kirke gave me all the ideas, menu, decorations and everything." I.entnn Levity- A pleasantry which belongs to the spring of the year Is probably apocry phal, but fifty yen i-s ago it was current In circles of the old time. It Is the story of Dr. Lout's visit on Dr. Car penter in Bristol a little before Easter. It was said that Dr. Lunt cut himself In shaving, and had to ask Dr. Car penter for a styptic. So it happened that "In Lent Lunt leaned i-uct lint" An Easter Tree. Since Enster fins become in the minds of nierrymnkers as great an oo-, enslim for celebration as Christum, thero have sprung up sundry forms of diversion for the day in keeping with Its significance, yet by no means of a strictly religious chnrncter. In a mil lionaire's household where little folks rule supreme, though grown-ups also will enter Into the pleasure, there will be nn Enster tree. It can bo of any kind, and need not be fuller than n shrub. On Its branches are bung n number of dark green balls formed of several leaf-shniied sect Ions. These nre run together at the top by a bright bit of baliy ribbon, the ends of which bang down loosely. There should be ns many bulbs and floating streamers as there are persons to receive gifts. The bulbs can be made of any soft, green mnterlal, the softer the better, ns It lends Itself more readily to .the purpose of protection, which Is the sur prise of the affair. When all are gath ered about the tree each person Is given nn end of ribbon. At a signal they give a sharp tug nml find the ribbon In their lunula utmttnehed to the green bulb, which bns by this means been separated, disclosing a , white pnper Illy, In the henrt of which will be found some llttlo Easter trinket. This tree ciiu bn so easily mntinged that iiuuiy will undoubtedly ndd It to their Euster entertainments. Tho transformation from the sombre, nil pervndlng green of the tree to Us Illy laden beauty Is In touch with the meaning of Enster. One preenutlon only must be taken, and that Is that the ribbon run through thn green petals of tho bulbs Is so lightly held that the pull will act promptly ns the mnglclan's wand In showing what n wealth of loveliness Is hidden beneath tho unprepossessing exterior. Pnpcr can be used for tlio Iietnls, but It Is likely to tear, nnd tho sbnpe of the sections Is destroyed when the ribbons are wlthdruwn. Faster In the flrrrk Chnrch, Faster time in the Greek Church Is tho season for blessing the holy oils. This ceremony is performed once 111 three yeiirs at Moscow or Kief. Th Metropolitan Is the conseorntor, nnd or Monday he enters the sacristy of pa triarchs, where lie kindles a lire, ovef which be hnngs a vessel containing a gallon of myro or chrism. The gospel for the day Is read while this is going on. For three days and three nights the contents of tha vessel is stirred by relays of priests, clad In full robes. To the chrism olive oil nnd a fine Lis bon white wine are added, with certain rare perfumes. When oil is completed the oil is placed In two caldrons set upon a stove of fine porcelain, nnd then It is stirred by six deacons robed in sil ver and black vestments. After this Is done the mixture Is poured into a gor geous reccptnele, presented to the church by the Empress Catherine II. It Is then blessed, and the people by thousands march past and dip bits of cotton Into the consecrated fluid. On Thursday the holy oil is carried with great pomp to the cathedral, where mass Is suld by the Metropolitan In the presence of a multitude. In the Catho lic Church the oil is blessed once a year, on Maundy Thursday. Money has been defined as "a pro vider for everything but happiness; a passport to everywhere bnt heaven."
