- THE ART OF ENTERTAINING.
- OUR AMERICAN RESOURCES, AND FOREIGN ALLIES.
- Thackeray praises Chambertin in verse more than once:--
- THE HOSTESS.
- BREAKFAST.
- THE LUNCH.
- AFTERNOON TEA.
- THE INTELLECTUAL COMPONENTS OF DINNER.
- And so on. The Bible affords others, well worth quoting:--
- CONSCIENTIOUS DINERS.
- An American dinner resolves itself into the following formula:--
- VARIOUS MODES OF GASTRONOMIC GRATIFICATION.
- An old courtesy book of 1290 says:--
- OF SOUPS.
- Mock-turtle soup is easily made:--
- FISH.
- THE SALAD.
- Here is a good recipe for the dressing:--
- A cod mayonnaise is a good dish:--
- A mayonnaise dressing is a triumph of art when well made:--
- Another dressing can be made more quickly:--
- Here is Sydney Smith's recipe for a salad:--
- LOBSTER SALAD.
- DESSERTS.
- GERMAN EATING AND DRINKING.
- And Longfellow says:--
- THE INFLUENCE OF GOOD CHEER ON AUTHORS AND GENIUSES.
- BONBONS.
- FAMOUS MENUS AND RECIPES.
- A chicken gumbo soup is next:--
- Another Maryland success was the tomato catsup:--
- Or a plain dinner:--
- COOKERY AND WINES OF THE SOUTH OF EUROPE.
- Indeed Brillat Savarin seems to have inspired this later poet:--
- SOME ODDITIES IN THE ART OF ENTERTAINING.
- Massinger puts forth a curious test of these provocatives:--
- THE SERVANT QUESTION.
- Bromley said, "Yes, my lady."
- SOMETHING ABOUT COOKS.
- THE FURNISHING OF A COUNTRY HOUSE.
- ENTERTAINING IN A COUNTRY HOUSE.
- A PICNIC.
- PASTIMES OF LADIES.
- PRIVATE THEATRICALS.
- HUNTING AND SHOOTING.
- THE GAME OF GOLF.
- OF GAMES.
- The rhyming game is amusing. "I have a word that rhymes with game."
- CROQUET.
- ARCHERY.
- THE SEASON, BALLS, AND RECEPTIONS.
- If a card is written,--
- If she wishes an answer, she should say,--
- WEDDINGS.
- The invitations to the wedding are very simple and explicit:--
- HOW ROYALTY ENTERTAINS.
- ENTERTAINING AT EASTER.
- HOW TO ENTERTAIN CHILDREN.
- CHRISTMAS AND CHILDREN.
- CERTAIN PRACTICAL SUGGESTIONS.
- COMPARATIVE MERITS OF AMERICAN AND FOREIGN MODES OF ENTERTAINING.
