Evening public ledger. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1914-1942, 1919-06-09

TUNE, the month of roses, is essen
= tally the bridal month, and now
that our boys are returning many
entertainments will be given for
3 their war brides. Just what form
the entertainments will take depends
upon the size of the circle of friends
the bride and her war hero have.
An evening company, a dance, a
weekend house party or perhaps
garden or porch party will give
ample opportunity for the friends OF
the young couple to express their
happiness to the bride and joy for
the safe return of the soldier hus-
band.
For the moderate purse, this need
not mean a problem in finance. A
rreat abundance of flowers are
blooming in the gardens and woods
and these will furnish a scheme for
decorations. The phonograph VIII
furnish the music and then the rest
Of the success of the evening Will
depend on refreshments.
have just been preparing menus
for about one-half dozen affairs and
I feel that perhaps other folk Will
care to entertain our war brides, so
am going to give them to you. The
menus may be used by the bride
and bridegroom for their first "at
home"
Refreshments for an AT Home
Law the tables with perfectly
iaundered linen and then place in
the center a fat bowl filled with sn1i-
lax and sweet peas or June red roses
from the garden. Place platters with
the sandwiches and cakes at both
ends of the table. Have salted nuts
and home made candies in little fiat
dishes. Have sufficient service
plates. napkins and forks placed at
convenient intervals so as to make
for quick service.
II you desire to give the affair a
military or naval air have either the
doughboys or the "gobbies" act as
mess attendants. Either grand
mother or mother can preside at the
tea urn or the punch bowl, and as
real souvenir of the occasion have
each guest, as he bids his host a
sood-night and a godspeed on life's
Journey, presented with a minute
wedding cake baked by the bride
with her own dainty hands.
