A LUNCHEON DE LUKE :

MIS-, Harry DuPre entertained a
dozen ladies last Friday at lunch
con they can never forget. When
they entered the dining room each
race hlossomed into a smile as ra-
diant as the golden flower that
sprang up when the first sunbeam
. touched the earth-the daffodil her
aid of spring. These daffodils were
not dancing and coquetting with va
grant breezes, however, for they had
been called indoors, like classes of
dainty maidens, and dressed up with
sashes of greenish yellow tulle by
Mrs. Henry Meinert and instructed
to be as dignified and quiet as young
ladies making their formal entrance
into society. So on the left shout.
der OF each tall mahogany chair q
corsage bouquet of daffodils rested,
attached by pins in the tulle butter
fly bows which later held them
against the bosoms of the happy la
dies.
The table was mahogany, a long
oval without cloth and with white
lace mats under the plates and silver
dishes.
The center-piece was a kewpie, as
large as two-year-old child, stand
ing in a circular bed of daffodils
growing closely with the green foil
age among the flowers. Around the
waist of the kewpie, whose wide
brown eyes alone kept him from be-
ing cupid, was a sash of the same
tulle worm by the corsage bouquets
and a big bunch of daffodils was
held against his side in the butterfly
bow. A girdle of tiny ferns fringed
each side of the sash. A white UNI
brella was above the kewpie's head,
dripping under the shower of tiny
yellow blossoms because it was ''rain-
ing daffodils." The drops were
made of clusters of tiny yellow jon
quils and asparagus fern attached at
intervals to yellow and green baby
ribbons and these drops fell like a
fringe below the edges of the UNI
brella. The kewpies hands were
outstretched and in each one he held
six baby ribbons, three green and
three yellow, to which little bisque
kewpies were attached as they stood
at each plate with the names of the
guests as their only apparel. Under
these ribbons around the flower bel
were little heart-shaped crystal can
dlesticks holding yellow and green
tapers. Next to these were silver
filigree bon-bon dishes holding
green and yellow minis and al
monds. Then tall glasses in silver
coasters held limeade, colored yellow
and green, six of each. Next were
silver bread and butter plates and
around the edge of the table were
fruit plates, painted in green foliage
and tiny yellow roses, holding halves
of grapefruit with the tough centers
cut out and replaced with green
cherries. Beside each plate stood Il
tall goblet of solid silver in a design
of leaves and grapes. Among the
spoons and forks beside each plate
were tiny gold spoons for the coffee
and dainty silver forks for the yell
low ice-cream with which pineapple
cake was served. The color scheme
was not allowed to obtrude above
the quality of goodness in flavor but
one of the prettiest courses was
green peas with cubes of yellow car
rots.
Mrs. DuPre was lovely in wistaria
crepe, and all the ladies wore light
dresses in which they looked their
best. The guests included Mrs.
George Montgomery, Mrs. Dan An
derson, Mrs. Henry Wyatt and Mrs.
Henry Wyatt, Jr., Mrs. Fred Morris,
Mrs. Adrian Cortelyou, Mrs. HORACE
Field Mrs Howard Parkinson, Mrs
Ralph Northcctt, Mrs. Floyd North
cult and Mrs. w. r. Joyner, Jr.
