concealed in ferns, and
scarlet lilies stuck in amid the ferns. Across one corner the gay
striped hammock, with its open meshes filled with wild cucumber and
clematis vines fastened against the house, makes a background for the
punch bowl. Orange ice and cream cake can be served on plates decorated
with gold and white, with a bunch of daisies tied with pale green gauze
ribbon on each plate.

SUMMER PORCH TEA PARTY. 2.

A porch tea party given in the summer is a most enjoyable affair. The
guests are seated on the porch which has immense jardinieres filled with
garden flowers, and draperies of large American flags. The punchbowl is
just inside the door in the hall. The guests bring their needlework and
as they sew, one of the number reads a group of original stories.
Following this have a little contest called The Menu. The prize for the
correct list is a solid silver fork with a rose design. The refreshments
are lemon sherbet, macaroons, sweet wafers, pecans and bonbons.
