Homemaking Tips By ' - Misz Bertha Landis Heme’Demonstration Agent Serving a buffet aupper during the holiday season is an easy way to entertain informally, yet have a friendly and festive atmosphere. The placing of the buffet table will depend on the home. In one home it may be placed in the center of the room for the best use of space, while in another home, it may be placed at one end or at the side. In a small room there will be more serving space if the table is placed against the wall. Such an arrangement permits serving from three sides. i The holiday centerpiece on the table will be governed by the placing of the table In the room. When the table is in the middle of the room, the centerpiece, which should be kept low, may be placed in the center of the table. With a table against the wall, decorations may be higher and against the wall. A meal prepared ahead of time can have an atmosphere of simplicity. This also, permits the hostess to mingle with the guests and. yet keep an eye on the buffet table to see when dishes need to be refilled. Trays large enough to hold one course make it easy for the guests to take care of plate and cup and saucer.
