* Shower of Daisies

A bride who is to be married in June
was given a daisy shower recently. The
girls who were invited guests were asked
10 bring something ornamented with
daisies. Some Of them brought table
linen of various kinds with the design of
daisies stamped or embroidered there
on. Others gave fancy pins, sofa pill
low covers, china. cut glass. souvenir
spoons, books. and many other useful
and ornamental gifts. but all were deco
rated with daisies. The presents were
wrapped in tissue paper and tied with
white and yellow ribbon. Cards were
inclosed bearing some little verse such
as 'She is a lady sweet and fair who
comes TO gather daisies there" and
other quotations appropriate for the oc-
casion.
The flowers used for decoration in the
entrance hall and parlOr were arranged
in the manner IN which the Japanese so
excel-only a few grouped together and
placed loosely in the vases. This was a
welcome contrast TO the solid mass of
floral decorations We so often see
An afternoon luncheon was served in
the dining room. The decorations and
menu were made to represent daisies
and the cOlors OF daisies predOminated.
Shades were lowered 10 exclude the
light Of day and candles were lighted.
They had shades in the form Of daisies.
The table was covered with white
ClOtn over WnlCn a yeIlOW CenLeTplece
was spread. and laid around this was
garland Of daisies and daisies were scat
tered over the table. Only light refresh
ments were served: the first course was
grape fruit. then followed chicken sand
wiChes and daisy salad. The salad,
placed at each cover, was arranged by
making circles Of crisp lettuce leaves
on small plates with tablespoonful of
mayonnaise dressing in the center OF
each. The daisy petals were arranged
around this center. These were made by
cutting into narrow strips the whites of
hard boiled eggs. The yolks were press
ed through a strainer and scattered over
the dressing. II requires four or five
eggs, and this amount will serve about
eight or nine persons. White and yell
low ices were served in sherbert glasses
which were placed on plates decorated
with a garland of daisies. Small cakes
were served with the sherbert and each
one had a daisy on top. The daisies
were made by first spreading over the
cakes a chocolate icing. This was al
lowed to dry, after which n white icing
made very stiff was pressed through a
paper funnel TO shape the petals. A
small portion of the icing was colored
a deep yellow and used 10 make the
Centers In the daisies. Orangeade was
served as a beverage. Each girl was
given superb bouquet Of daisies.
