Everyone is anxious to have enough, but it is wasteful to provide too much. It is a good idea to use up the things with cream in first if it can be managed, and a good fruit cake, and some home-made biscuits or shortbread, are a great standby, as if they are not required they keep well. One 2-lb sandwich loaf will cut into 36 slices, making eighteen rounds of sandwiches, which will cut into 72 small- ones. Half a pound of butter is sufficient to spread a 2-lb loaf for sandwiches. Half a pound of meat, cut thin, will fill a 2-lb loaf. Six eggs, boiled not too hard, shelled, and put into a basin, with salt, pepper, and a piece of butter the size of a walnut, and mashed well, with a fork, make a mixture that will spread easily, sufficient for a 2-lb loaf. Other flavouring, like onion or curry powder, may be added. Cut a small round from the centre of a sponge sandwich, and the remainder will cut into 12 or 13 slices, making 14 in all. One quart pudding, or jelly, is sufficient for six people as a sweet, and may be used for twelve small servings at a party. Three quarts of milk is the usual allowance for afternoon tea for 100 people. To make coffee for 100, allowing 14 small cups each—Three gallons milk and three gallons water. Bring to boil. Have 3 lb. good coffee and 1 teaspoon salt in a fine muslin bag—an old oatmeal bag is excellent. Put it into the milk and water just before it comes to the boil, and swirl it round well. This is strong enough for average taste. One pound loaf sugar has approximately 112 pieces, and in these days, when so many people take no sugar, should be ample for 100. One quart of icecream will be sufficient for 18 small plates. The allowance for each person is usually two sandwiches, and three pieces of cake for every two people; one serving of ice cream, fruit salad or other sweet. CAKES FOR AFTERNOON TEA These cakes do not all contain dried fruits, but may be used with others to vary the menu. Cream Puffs. 2 oz. butter. 5 good tablespoons cold water. 2 oz. plain flour. Whipped cream for filling, 2 eggs. about 1/- worth.
