ds, which should be little flower
baskets cut out of water color paper and decorated, would be sentences
describing Mayday in various countries. Or, use sentiments of flowers.
Here are some:

The red rose: "I love you." The daisy: "There is no hope." Lily of the
valley: "My heart withers in secret." The lilac: "You are my first
love." Violets: "I am faithful." You will enjoy hunting for flower
sentiments.

For the menu serve: Tomato bisque, wafers; sweetbread croquettes, peas,
new potatoes, creamed asparagus, lemon sherbet; spring salad (radishes,
cucumbers, tomatoes, with French dressing on lettuce leaf),
strawberries, served with hulls on and around a paper cup or mound of
fine sugar; white cake with chocolate icing.

AN AUTUMN BREAKFAST.

If one loves the reigning color, brown, give a brown breakfast in which
all shades from seal to orange are used in pretty combination. A flat
wreath of brown foliage extends inside the plate line. In the center of
the table is a pyramid made of the tiny artificial oranges, buds and
blossoms that are shown in the milliners' windows. From this pyramid
radiate streamers of light brown tulle in wavy lines across the table to
the wreath at the edge. Yellow candles with autumn leaf shades in
yellows and browns are placed inside the space between the center and
the wreath. The name cards are placed inside little boxes decorated
with pyrographic work and suitable for jewel boxes. The creamed lobster
is served in cups covered with brown tissue paper, the browned chops,
browned fried potatoes, and browned rice croquettes are served on plates
decorated with a design of brown oak leaves and acorns. The ice cream is
chocolate frozen in shape of large English walnuts and the little
squares of white cake bear the design of a leaf in tiny chocolate
candies.
