Serve-Yourself Party Menu
| Is a Real Treat for Hostess
mm —
WHEN yon ask your friends for
an evening of games, it’s good
hostess strategy to prepare serve
yourself refreshments ahead oi
time. Then you won't have to drop
out and break up tfie game until
! iit’s time to whisk in the refresh
ment tray. It’s thoughtful to give
l your guests a choice of games such
as Monopoly or a card game like
Make a. Million or Crossword Lexi
con as an alternative to bridge. It’s
thoughtful, too, to serve decaffein
ated coffee so that even if your
guests linger late over their play,
: everybody can take second cups
without counting sheep later on.
This beverage, if you make it in a
percolator, should *‘perk" from 15
,to 20 minutes, or longer than the
ordinary variety, to ’bring out its
rich coffee flavor. By the time it
is done you can have the other
refreshments assembled and ready
for the guests to help themselves.
Chives and radishes, carrot sticks
and celery, add crisp distinction to
the cheese tray. Cottage cheese
mixed with cream and chopped
chives, scooped up on potato chips,
also lends interest to the refresh
ments. Crackers and nut bread,
bran flakes bread or pumpernickel,
toasted rolls or crusty French bread
all rate as proper accompaniments
to cheese.

the all city championship and an
