TO TAKE THE PUCE OF SOUP

Some Appetizer, Which will Prov# Acceptable If It Should Be Only fgr a Change-

Nowadays in many household# an appetizer or an entree is served for dinner instead of soup. A fruit appetizer is often tempting. Grapefruit in any form, in its own shell, garnished with a maraschino cherry, or cut in dice, andFservedlri cups or mixed with a little orange or pineapple, is always good. Diced pineapple, with sugar and a little lemon Juice sprinkled over It, is also good. ,

Then there are the various sorts of canapes—tiny strips of toast spread with some fruit titbit. Any of the fish pastes can be used and garnished with sliced hard-boiled egg or sliced olives. 'Hashed leftover" medt can'bs moistened with a little mayonnaise and spread on* a strip of hdt buttered toast, or meat minced and heated in a little cream or stock. Use olives or hard-boiled eggs or a little minced parsley for garnish. Various vegetables can be used for canapes. A slice of ripe tomato, topped by a spoonful of mayonnaise and placed on a round of buttered toast of the same sjze, is delicious. A long strip of toast an inch wide can have thin slices of cucumber lapped one over the other its entire length, each dotted with a bit of mayonnaise. Or a few diced beets moistened with melted butter, very hot, can be piled in neat little mounds on rounds of buttered toast and garnished with minced hardboiled, egg. . _ .
