A Daisv Luncheon.

Now is the season tor a daisy lunch
con. These most satisfactory of now
ers are blooming in quantities in the
country and outskirts of town, and
may be had for the plucking. Their
lasting quality makes them especially
adaptable for decorative purposes.
Bank the mantels, freplaces and cor
ners Of the room with them; brown
earthenware crooks and jars are fine
receptacles for this purpose. Fac
smile daisies may be made from card
board and water colors for place cards,
or two or three natural ones may be
thrust through plain white card;
the lettering done in gold is effective.
A charming centerpiece is made by
filing a low glass dish or yellow jar
with sand and then planting the
daisies and make garlands of them to
drop to the corners of the table from
the chandelier. The candle sticks
should be white, candles of yellow,
with shades of yellow trimmed with
artificial marguerites. This makes
the prettiest table imaginable.
The menu can be kept nearly all
white and yellow; if grape fruit is
not procurable, oranges may be served
in the same way, or white cherries
dipped in powdered sugar; cream of
celery soup with the yolk Of hard
boiled egg grated over the top; sweet
breads with new potatoes, green peas
in yellow ramakins or pastry shells
with tiny carrot straws, hot biscuit,
fruit salad in banana skin boats,
and orange ice with individual sun
shine cake. Provide knot of daisies
for each guest, and in this day of the
popular "all white" gown, it is most
likely that the guests will complete
the color scheme by appearing in
white costumes. :
A correspondent asks for a descrip-
ton of lawn party, how to decorate,
what to serve, etc.
There is nothing that will make
lawn party SO pretty as quantities of
Chinese lanterns, and there cannot be
too many used. Then if without much
expense the grounds could be wired
with electric lights, they will make a
veritable fairy land glimmering in the
trees. The colored bulbs are very eff
fective. Have plenty of rugs scattered
about, with seats, fern decorated
table with frappe or fruit lemonade,
tent or canvas awning for the serv-
ing of light refreshments, platform
fn1 DON will %riv
OF three or five pieces, will afford the
requisites for a most delightful party.
A bride-elect wishes to know what
to serve at a II o'clock wedding
luncheon; if paper or linen napkins
should be used and what the duties
OF ring bearer are.
In the first place, if this bride wish
es to be strictly up-to-dale she should
call the repast served at noon a
breakfast" and not "luncheon;'
the hour for the latter is from one un-
til two.
An acceptable menu for this season
of the year would be a cold mixture
of all the fruits obtainable, with
sugar strip and served in tall glasses;
then breasts of chicken or sweet
breads, potatoes, creamed new peas or
asparagus tips on toast; a salad of
cherries, the pits replaced by hazel
nuts served on white hearts of head
lettuce; an ice or cream, wedding cake
and French coffee
Use linen napkins; paper ones are
only permissible at picnics, on the
porch and at public affairs of an in
formal nature.
The ring bearer Immediately pre-
cedes the bride, carrying the ring
upon a silver tray or small lace
| covered pillow; at recent wedding
the circles were carried on the long
golden stamen of large Gala lily
by tiny white-dressed page, and the
idea was a lovely one.
