PIE PARTY
The invitation to this party should be written on three-cornered papers, shaped and painted to look like pieces of pie.
Have each lady bring a different kind of pie, thus securing great variety. The refreshments should consist entirely of pies and hot coffee.
Have each gentleman present write a recipe for the kind of pie eaten by him, also telling how long it takes to bake it. A suitable prize can be given for the best recipe.
A large pie filled with bran may contain a favor for each guest, any little articles that will not be injured in the baking being suitable.
PILGRIM LUNCHEON
A Pilgrim luncheon is a most delightful affair when properly carried out.
The guests should be requested to dress in quaint old costumes suitable to the occasion. If the floors are scrubbed and sanded in keeping with the old-time Pilgrim interiors, so much the better.
Candles in old-fashioned brass sticks will furnish sufficient light. A cheerful fire in the grate, with a kettle hanging on a crane, will add to the festivities.
All the old heirlooms—spinning wheels of various sizes, andirons, candlesticks, etc.—that can be resurrected or borrowed, will be needed.
