February Parties

The month of February gives the
hostess two dates around which party
schemes are often worked-St. Valen-
tines Day, February IA, and Wash
ington's birthday, February p. In
planning refreshments for party
carrying out either scheme, the hos
tess wants something colorful, tasty,
easily prepared and not too expensive.
Canned cranberry sauce may be used
in many ways for either date. Let's lay
for a Valentine party, why not have
your plate contain tasty meat salad
parnished with hearts cut from cram
berry sauce, and two or three small
sandwiches of different varieties
maybe some fruit filling with one side
of dark and one side Of white bread.
Something a bit harder to prepare yet
very appropriate is sandwich loaf
covered with cream cheese and gar
nished with lettuce and cranberry
sauce hearts-try one red heart on the
top of the white loaf, too.
These same preparations may be
used for February % parties except
making the cranberry garnlshes
cherry trees, matches, or flags.
Of course there is always the idea
of heart-shaped sandwiches, salads,
cakes. and candies for the Valentine
party. The sandwiche may be an open
faced one spread with a red jelly or
cream cheese with red coloring added.
the edge of the white heart-shaped
sandwich may be decorated with chop
ned Maraschino cherries.
A few special thoughts given to the
food served and to the table on which
it is served makes for a more festive
atmosphere and for greater enjoyment
for all members of party.
