Hello Girls! Mother may not approve of your suggestions for helping her on Mother's Day un- less you are "in the know." Do you know how to set the dinner table properly? For instance, if the dinner consists of soup, meat, potatoes and vegetables, bread and butter, pie and tea-- the procedure is simple. 1. Take a tray to the dish cup- hoard and collect knives, forks, soup spoons, butter spreaders, butter knifé, teaspoons, fruit or salad forks, sugar spoon, gravy spoon, carving set, serving: spoons and salt and pepper. = 2. Place tray on one corner of covered table and with knives in right hand and forks in left, place them one inch from the edge of the table and about 10 inches apart, with the tines of the forks turned up and the blades of the knives towards the plate. | Make the rounds again with teaspoons in the right hand and small forks in the left and lay them on out- side of silver at the cover. The carving set should be in position on either side of the ' platter space with gravy spoon 'and but- ter knife parallel above this space: The serving: spoons, salts:and peppers belong close to the cen- tre at convenient places, while the sugar spoon is [left near mother's plate. Leave the but- ter knives and soup spoons in a pile on the table while you get the china. 3. Collect the bread and butter plates, tumblers, cups and sauc- ers, cream and sugar, and be am- bidextrous again as you place the plates in the upped left-hand cor- ner above each fork, and the tumblers an inch above the point of the knives. Leave the cream and sugar, and the stack of cups and saucers at the upper right- hand side of mother's cover. Fin- ally, with butter knives in left hand and soup spoons in the other place the small plate parallel to! the edge of the table, and the soup spoon on the right of the. teaspoon, 4. From the linen drawer' take the serviettes and asbestos pads for vegetable dishes. The servi- ettes are placed on the left side with the open corner toward the plate. For this occasion put the asbestos pads near your cover so you can serve the vegetables. 5. Cut a thick slice of butter and put it on the: dish on your tray. Slice the bread with an even sawing motion and arrange and into dishes these items to the table on your tray in one trip. -6. Be wary about heating the pickles carry dinner plates in a hot oven. They should be spread out on the shelves of a warm oven or stacked in the warming oven with a piece of paper between each one. The platter, vegetable dishes, gravy dish and tea pot should also be put in the warm- ing oven. 7. If you have an extra serv- ing tray, spread the pie plates out, cut the pie and use a knife or egg lifter to lift the servings. The dessert can then be left ready" to serve on the buffet. 8. To help make the gravy use a small mixing bowl for the paste. Measure 3. tablespoons of flour into it. Make a hole in the centre and add about 12 cup of cold water slowly as you stir to make a smooth paste, Press out any lumps, add more water if too] thick. Now it is ready for moth- er to stir quickly into the hot meat juices. 9. If you help to drain the vege- tables, put a sieve in another pan and using a pot holder to hold the saucepan jhandle, pour them into the sieve. 10. To fill the tumblers from a big pitcher, place a small towel in the left hand on the bowl of the jug-and tip it with the right hand placed low on the handle. No spills this way. 11. Chairs should be in position before the hot food is on the table, The seat of 'the chair should touch the side of the cloth unless the dining room is too small for the people to move be- hind the chairs. THE QUESTION BOX Mrs. T. R. asks: How to clean surface 'of electric stove. Answer* Use a clean piece of cheesecloth. Dampen it and use baking soda to clean white enam- el. Rub closed elements (on Off position) with a piece of waxed paper, Brush any charred food out of open elements (switch turn- ed off) with fine whisk, Miss F. S. E. asks: What is the best method of cleaning a stain- ed aluminum roast pan? Answer: Remove charred: food by leaving dry pan in warm oven and then rub with steel wool. Place the pan on end in a dish- pan of strong vinegar and water. Bring to a boil. Turn it to bleach the other end of pan and boil for five minutes! longer.
