WHAT TO DO AND HOW
St. Patrtck's Day Ideas-How Paper
Takes Place of <Linen-Conven1ent
s Entertaining. =

Many a woman would be- delighted
to give gay little LUNCHEON parties, il
she were not afraid that her one maid
of all work would rebel at the extra
Knowing this. there has DEVELOPED an
industry in which paper, takes the
place of linen, and no occasion of a
festive character but can be arranged
with original and suitable decorative
table cloths. napkins and plates-an
paper. -
s Even baskets to hold flowers or fruit
ARE braided strips OF paper and paper
flowers are SO natural that the addi-
ton OF q. few real green leaves or
branching asparagus fern. give the
floral clusters an appearance of ma
.ture that would almost deceive a fforz
list.
The plates are excep tiona11y unique.
They are the regular sort to which we
have grown accustomed when we buy
pies or pickles. But they are covered
with another layer of paper to CORE
spond with the pattern on the cloth
and napkins.
At present there are some very at
tractive ideas for st. Patric1x's day.
The white cloth, etc, are covered with
slittle shamrocks and the cloth carries
a border of harps. Little green paper
flags ornamented with gilt harps can
be massed as q centerpiece, stuck into
a round green bowl of paper sham
rocks.
For favors green paper high hats
that pull apart, SO that they can be
fllIed with candles. are In keeping
with the sentiment
As to the menu itse1f-green pea
soup, chicken outlets and water cress,
potato pipes, and pistachio cream,

ways to be had, and olives serve well
in their capacity of appetizers.
