A Lemon PARTY.

AS each guest arrives at the lemon party
meet them at the door and hand them
lemon with a little bundle of japanese
toothpicks. These may be purchased at
any of the Japanese or department stores
for five cents a box, each box containing
ten or more little bundles of toothpicks.
When all the guests have arrived give them
seats at table, provide each one with
sharp pointed knife, and tell them they are
expected to make animal from the lemon
they hold, and that prize is to be given to
the one who makes the most artistic and
consolation prize for the most grotesque
The prizes for the same may be a silver
lemonade spoon for the first and a lemon
shaker or squeezer for the second. A lemon
race may follow, playing it in the same
way that the potato race is played.
The requirements are ten lemons, two
vegetable dishes and two tablespoons. The
lemons are placed in two parallel rows, five
in row, and three feet apart, one of the
dishes heading each row. The company
forms in two equal lines, one behind each
row, the lines being numbered respectively
with odd and even numbers. A timekeeper
Is appointed to keep tally and call time for
the contestants, who are allowed just three
minutes to do their special stunt" When
all Is ready, numbers lone" and two" take
lines. the object being to see which side
owns the most members who can gather up
the line of lemons one at time in a spoon,
carry them to the vegetable dish and de-
post them without touching the fruit with
their hands All having had trial. the
accounts are balanced the judge renders
his verdict, and prize is given to the VIC
tOriOus side.
A lemon pie with a good thick meringue
affords much fun in its proper distribution
a prize.
The refreshments for the lemon party
should all contain lemon in some form. The
sandwiches may be chicken with wafer
thin slices of lemon: the salad may be
served in lemon cups. made from the skins,
simply garnished with sliced lemons.
The lemon ice or lemon jelly can be served
in the lemon skins also, and lemon layer
cake or small cakes with lemon icing may
accompany the ice or jelly. OF course,
there will be plenty or lemonade to drink
and lemon drops to fill the ,onbon dishes.
Let each one take home his lemon pig
other animal as a souvenir Of the occasion.
