Dainty Dinners and Lunch
cons on St. Valentine $
Day, Lincoln's Birthday
and Washington's Birth
day-Tested Recipes by
The Stars Household Ex-
pert.

TWO patriotic holidays and the fete
DAY of good ST. Valentine offer
many suggestions for table decora-
e,ons and menus. The menus given
below for Lincoln's birthday. st.
valentines day and washinston's
birthday may be used either for din
aer or for luncheon.
Tulip Dinner or Luncheon.
As the tulip is the February flower.
. tulip dinner or luncheon would be
very attractive. To serve as a CEN
terpiece for the table and to hold
1avors, make a large, vari-colored
tulip of crepe paper fitted over a
cardboard foundation. A red. yellow
or purple ribbon should lead from
this centerpiece to each guests place.
Name cards, fastened to small crepe
paper tulips on wire standards, should
also mark each guests place and at
the same time provide attractive
favors. Glass candlesticks with tulip
Shades would add to the attractive
ness of the table.
Keep the red and yellow color
scheme as far as possible in the
menu. Grapefruit with maraschino
CutFFIeS OF TOMATO DOulllOn 1Or nrSt
course, followed by golden-brown fish
outlets with a pimento sauce, if a
luncheon is being served. or a planked
steak garnished with radish tulips,
pieces of pimento or diced carrots
for dinner will carry out this idea
with very little trouble. An appro-
PIRATE salad could be made from jeI-
lied tomato and celery nodded in
small forms and garnished with
golden-colored mayonnaiSe or yolk of
hard-boiled egg rubbed through 4
Strainer. For dessert serve ice cream in
small cases or in tiny flower pots with a
crepe paper tulip stuck in each pot.
Valentine Dinner or Luncheon.
A dinner or luncheon in honor of
st. Valentine could have for deco
rations hearts. lovers knots, red
roses, cupids. arrows or little bags
made of gold paper, since the first
valentines sent by former lovers were
bags of gold. A crepe paper table
cloth with a border of hearts would
add to the decorative effect and save
work for the hostess A large red
heart made of crepe paper and deco
rated with little fat cupids and one
for the centerpiece. Place cards may
be made of red hearts, fastened to
red ribbons, leading from the center
piece to. each place. Old-fashioned
lace paper valentines make pretty
place cards. Candle shades fashion
ed from these lace paper valentines
are very pretty when pasted on a
thin cardboard or stiff paper founda-
tion.
Favors may be either little fat
cupids or red rosebuds. Candle

MENUS AND TABLE DECORATIONS
FOR THREE FEBRUARY HOLIDAYS

shades made of four hearts or plain
paper with cupids or lovers knots
appliqued on are also very attract
i've. Little crepe paper baskets with
cupids on the handles may hold salt
ed nuts or candies. Red candle
shades trimmed with rosebuds. the
flower of romance, are also appro-
pirate for st. Valentines day, with
cupids ana love tokens for favors
as an additional honor to the guests.
The menu should start with valen-
tine canapes. made by covering heart
shaped pieces of fried bread with
pimentos cut IN tbs same shape. Cut
the garnishing for soup, roast and
salad in heart or knot shapes and
serve for a valentine dessert either
ice cream or dessert nodded in
heart shape. accompanied by small
heart-shaped cakes or iced cakes dec
GRATED with candy hearts.
Patriotic Dinner in Honor of WASH
ington or Lincoln.
A cherry tree or small cherry log,
decorated with cherries made from
red crepe paper, stuffed with cotton
or soft paper. would make an attrac-
tive centerpiece for a Washington
dinner table. Name cards could be
made in the shape of hatchets and
favors could consist of small dolls
dressed in colonial costumes of col
ored crepe paper or little red and
green crepe paper baskets trimmed
with cluster of cherries. A crepe
paper tablecloth with a cherry bor-
der may be used if liked. The menu
could start with canned cherry cock
tail. followed by an oyster bisaue.
roast chicken or chicken pie. with
vegetables. stuffed celery salad and
almond ice cream garniShed with
fruit jelly and candied cherries. Lit
tie cherry or hatchet cakes may be
served with a simple dessert.
