ve an orange or lemon ice. Serve this in tall glasses and
decorate the top of the glass with a sprig of mint. Have the ice served
from a tray decorated with a wreath of green or green and white. For the
green have mint leaves, lemon verbena or geranium leaves or ferns. Then
serve chicken salad made of the breast of chicken cut in dice, celery
cut coarse, and large nut meats. Add sweetbreads and cucumbers to the
salad if desired. Mix with a white mayonnaise and serve in white head
lettuce, using the cup-like outside leaves. Use the tiny lettuce heart
for a crown, and garnish with white radishes cut into roses, and olives
cut in fancy shapes. Serve plain white bread and butter sandwiches cut
in hearts and rings or salted wafers. Have the salad on white plates and
passed from a tray trimmed in ferns or white sweet peas. Have the ice
cream in any fancy shape. Pink hearts dotted with pink candied
roseleaves makes a very pretty course. Lay a pink rose on each plate. If
one cannot get fancy shapes from their caterer, use the cone shaped
spoon and dish the cream in shape of cones. Then surmount each cone with
a pink candy heart. For cakes, serve cocoanut balls or squares of white
cake covered with pink or green icing. Serve these from a tray or
platter covered with pink and white sweet peas, putting the cakes in
among the flowers. Have the wedding cake on a flower trimmed table under
a gay little canopy and have the bride cut it the last thing, after
coffee is passed.
A WAFFLE SUPPER.
Let us have a waffle party and introduce some of the men to more
intimate acquaintance with the mysteries of the cuisine.
Flat dwellers (the word always reminds me of "Cliff dwellers") seem to
consider that the propinquity of the kitchen makes entertaining a
difficult matter, but if the truth were known, it makes possible many a
winter evening's jollity.
The invitations are made of cream white satin, fashioned in the exact
shape and size of a waffle section, padded with white cotton wadding and
tacked to simulate the meeting place of the irons. They are then
scorched to the right color with a hot iron and on them is printed in
sepia tints
"Come and eat me;"
on the reverse side is printed
Date "----, at 8 P. M. ---- Ave."
Use the abbreviated forms for this lettering on account of the
difficulty encountered from limited space and the writing on satin.
Before the evening arrives prepare cards about four by six inches, in
