HOT WEATHER MENU

Hot weather intensifies the old problem of luncheon menus. But the hostess who serves'meals which combine the required nourishment and tho necessary delicacy finds that summer luncheons can be as pleasant and simple as any others.,v However, simplicity in this case does not mean "just anything that happens 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-out luncheon can be made early in the day, long' before the sun begins to wilt human ambitions. The only work necessary can be done a few minutes before the meal? is served. Tray luncheons, are a great idea on hot days. Every house has at least one spot which ■ offers relief from the weather. It may bo a corner • near a window shaded by an awning; it may bo a section of the verandah or perHap 3 a spot on the lawn-under a shady tree. Wherever it is r a meal served there on individual trays has much to commend it. The hostess will find that it takes no more time and care to prepare luncheon trays for four or six guests than to sot a table elaborately in a hot loom.
