| but a very thick slice of bread cut in
| the triangular FOOLS cap shape. Va
riety is given the menu II some OF the
| bread is white, some graham, etc,
but all of tie filling should be the
same.
The bread should be approximately
. or pa inches thick, with a base Az
| inches wide and sides measuring
inches. The size of the loaf from
which the slices are cut will neces-
sarily have to be a determining fac
tor in the exact size OF these foors
caps, but smaller ones would not be
large enough for n filing and big
ger ones would take rather large
amounts OF salad.
FaShioninE Salad Cups.
With a sharp knife cut a slice off
the top of the shaped bread. leaving
sides at least one-hslf inch wide bor-
dering each part of the top. Scoop
out the inside large enough to hold a
portion of any kind of salad, chick en-,
crab meat, etc. that you choose to
make. The inside OF the bread cup
should be brushed with melted but
ter before it is filed. Spreading it
might break the sides. Trim the small
top part until it is thin, but not so that
the contents Of the cup can be seen.
Trimming the Caps.
Put one Of these salad cups on let
tuce. Tiny pieces of cooked beet cut
very thin and in diminutive fool s
cap shape can outline the top edges
of the surprise salad TO give added
decoration. Two or three small
stuffed olives placed on one side Of
the plate and a few salted nuts on
the pther will make this as dainty a
dish as could be wished for refresh
ments. for the main course of a
luncheon (if the salad mixture is
hearty or for q. salad course at a
dinner.
Harlequin Caps.
Ice cream that comes in layers of
different f1avors and colors, with or
without sherbet, is called harlequin
ice cream. 1t is just the thing TO
serve at an April Fools party Cut
the slices in the shape of fools caps
to carry out the scheme to perfection
Put each of the caps on a lace paper
plate dolly
Mad Cap Cakes.
The cakes may be rich cookies cut
in the proper triangular shape, and
be served either frosted or unfrosted
Or thin sheet of cake may be cut
part of the icing is tinted In different
colors, leaving some of II white. these
cakes make most attractive looking
dishes.
Harlequinade.
Though the use of the word as a
name for a beverage is unique, still
it lends itself admirably to the pur-
pose, the "ade." 1t can be any sort
of lemonade or fruit punch with the
addition of wee FOOLS Gaps cut from
fruits of one sort or another. There
can be caps OF apple. banana, cherry,
pear, peach, etc, floating about in
each glass. The more varied the as
sortment, especially in regard TO
color, the better. 1t is wise to pass
spoons with this punch SO that these
motifs can be eaten as we'll as looked
at, for they are delicious.
Table Decorations.
A large FOOLS cap of colored card
board, to suit any chosen scheme Of
decoration, makes an excellent JACK
Horner pie or centerpiece. Have the
streamers Gf il is pie) coming from
under 1t of contrasting hue to match
the fringed paper tassel in the peak.
Similar fools caps in miniature make
charming place cards. If instead of
a tassel each card is tipped with a
tiny lighted candle, and large one
tips the centerpiece, the table pre-
sents a brilliant appearance when the
COMPANY enters the dining room.
