Chopped watercress and delicate let

for a garden party luncheon, also very
thin, waferlike slices Of thoroughly
pared lemon on bread and butter. Bos-
ton brown bread and homemade white
bread both cut very thin and spread
thickiy with peanut butter, make a va
riety pleasing to both eye and taste,

of bread should be laid evenly together.

not more than four sandwiches In

This adds greatly to their daintinesS
and attractiyeness. If hot Russian tea

be accompanied with thin strips OF
bread and butter, spread with caviar
mixed with lemon juice. In the matter
of cakes served at such affairs, nut
waters, almond strips, almost anything
that is not sticky OF too crambly is

tail glasses, with a generous supply OF
whipped cream on the top OF each,
rose or some single attractive blossom
on the plate beneath, or, in the case of
ices, slice may be served on plate
with the blossom laid gracefully be-
side it. When the frappe is to be
