HODGE PODGE DAY: SUMMER ENTERTAINING
Today I have some entertaining ideas from Bright Ideas
for Entertaining (1905). I thought this luncheon theme
would be cute for a get-together with mom, grandma and
the kids, or a girl's birthday party.
DAISY LUNCHEON
Just before the luncheon the hostess may crown each
guest with a wreath, which she has prepared by tying
the blossoms on circles of fine wire.
In the center of the luncheon table have a large bunch
of blossoms and also a few scattered carelessly over the
table. Trim the edge of the table with a chain of daisies,
looped up here and there. At each corner have a large
bow of ribbon, either white or of three colors-yellow,
green and white.
Serve only light refreshments. Yellow and white ices served
together would be pretty. By all means have cakes cooked
in patty-pans. Ice the little cakes with chocolate and on top
of each have a life-size daisy. Any amateur can make this
decoration successfully. Boil your icing thick and squeeze
it through a small funnel made of thick writing paper in order
to make the long, narrow, white petals of a daisy. Reserve
a small portion of the icing and tint it bright yellow for the
centers. The effect will be quite pretty.
After refreshments are served supply each guest with a
sheet of paper and a tiny pencil with a ribbon bow at the
end. Announce that the guest who draws the most natural
daisy will be awarded a prize. Distribute the blossoms for
models. Pin all of the papers upon the wall and let the
guests decide which is the most lifelike flower. Award a
pretty book to the one who succeeds best and a booklet
of pressed flowers for the second best.
