Belinda loves these gelatin desserts, because they always arrive at her table cool, interesting, tender, gleaming with color and distinguished in taste, with an endless variety to add to their charm.... Doesn’t that sound like a description of Favorite Friends? Belinda looks on them as F.F’s ... and loves them also for their priceless power of satisfying her taste for sweets, without adding an inch to her figure. Because—blessed thought—they are not fattening at all!
The Little Dinners
that delight the hearts of men and make the perfect setting for a charming woman ... these are the acid test for the clever hostess.
Belinda has a flair for these intimate occasions. She gives them an atmosphere.
Belinda chooses guests that harmonize, with the same care that she gives to choosing flowers that blend with the gown she wears. Decorative touches on the dinner table perhaps ... gay little place cards or favors, a scented leaf or blossom floating in each finger bowl, tall glasses on twisted stems that give a touch of dignity ... candle light ... comfort.
Whether Belinda cooks and serves the dinner single handed, or has a staff of servants, she follows the rule of good breeding that serves only what can be perfectly cooked and served, without confusion.
The hot things hot—the cold things cold—sounds an obvious rule. But more meals than can be counted have been wrecked by neglect of it.
