What with the desire to be different,
it is no wonder that some clever host
esses have pounced upon the idea Of
air parties.
How about you? Have you become so
minded that you long to charter q
plane for an afternoon and have very
select party?
Well, you might even plan such a
party. or you might want a little party
after a first ride Of some friends; or
after the air races.
Refreshments for such party ought
| to be q bit different, of course.
Just as reminder Of the way people
used to travel before air vehicles became
90 common, you might serve cart-be-
hind the horse salad. Now when you
going to think it too difficult, but 1t Is
really put together easily.
For each person have two animal
crackers Of the same variety of animal
Yoke them together with toothpick
and set them directly in front Of cart
made by using four round crackers for
| wheels, held together in pairs by sharp
ened matchsticks. Between the wheels
and on top Of the matches place q
| double sailed cracker.
| Now AL the cart with chicken, tuna
| fish or shrimp salad If this Is to be q
main course. II not, use fruit or light
vegetable salad. Perch a tiny doll
paper or china-upon the salad for a
driver and you have o mighty tasty and
novel salad
with the salad serve two or three
kinds of sandwiches with different kinds
of bread as well as flllings-graham
bread, white bread, rye bread, date nut
bread or orange bread. Have one of the
filings sweet one-jelly, jam, dates,
figs or marmalade.
Just as a reminder that there were
butterflies in the air before aviators,
you might have butterfly salad. There
are two ways Of making this
For the first kind one large slice Of
pineapple Is required for each person.
Arrange these as wings on either side of
o canned asparagus tip about three
inches long. II the tips are too slender,
bunch two or three. This Is the body.
Of stuffed olive on the wings make beau
tiful markings.
The second butterfly salad also has
as its foundation slice of pineapple.
Across the center is placed body made
by molding cream cheese into a rounded
piece perhaps three inches long and a
half inch In thickness. Stick two cloves
1
from pinento strips. At each side of
the body place Q section of grapefruit
which has been carefully skinned, the
pulp kept In shape. On top Of the
grapefruit but slightly to the outside,
place section of orange prepared in
the same way.
A good dressing for either Of these
salads Is equal parts mayonnaise and
whipped cream mixed with few drops
Of lemon juice.
II you want to get away from the
flying idea and simply serve something
q little out Of the ordinary. suppose
you have chicken mousse and creamed
mushrooms in toasted bread baskets
pickle relish and creamed cheese and
black walnut sandwich. That would
make pretty luscious plate, don't you
think?
The mushrooms may be served
creamed, even If no fresh ones are avail
able, FOR the canned win do nicely ever
II not 90 perfect.
