TRAY LUNCHEONS

WHERE IT IS COOL PREPARE MEALS EARLY Hot weather intensifies the old problem of luncheon menus. But the hostess who serves meals which combine the required nourishment and the necessary delicacy finds that summer luncheons can be as pleasant and simple as any others. However, simplicity in this case does not mean “just anything that happen* to be in the ice-chest." Hot day meals require thought and intelligent planning if they are to be rich in enjoyment.. But once planned and prepared they require little actual work in the kitchen. In fact, a properly-thought-ou luncheon can be made early in • day, long before the sun begins to wilt human ambitions. The only work necessary can be done a few minutes fore the meal is served. Tray luncheons are a great idea on hot days. Every house has at lea* l one spot which offers relief from the weather. It may be a comer near a window shaded by an awning; it tSA7 be a section of the verandah or haps a spot on the lawn under a shady tree. Wherever it is, a m served there on individual tray* much to commend it. Trays are made in an unli® variety of materials, shapes and sizes, and the hostess will find that it tak«l no more time and care to prepart luncheon trays for four or six gues than to set a table elaborately in a h room.
