_Respectfully dedicated to the overworked, perturbed
American hostess in the sincere hope that the suggestions
herein may lighten her perplexities and transform her work
of entertaining from a task of dread to one of delight._

This little book is the first of a series containing suggestions for
entertaining, which will give the hostess novel and practical ideas on
the manner of preparing and conducting various social affairs. There is
also another volume on Parties and Entertainments, one on Suppers, and
another on Breakfasts and Teas and a fifth on Weddings and Wedding
Celebrations. These volumes, it should be remembered, have been compiled
by the publisher of What To Eat, The National Food Magazine, America's
leading publication upon entertainments, dinners, menus, recipes and the
other subjects of importance to the hostess.

With the exercise of a little ingenuity and originality, the directions
may be varied--added to or altered--to suit all needs. This first book
is designed especially to describe those dinners and luncheons which,
while complete in themselves, also afford the best suggestions for
others.
