The menu was as follows:

Fruit Salad
Boiled SalmonCaper Sauce
Potato au Gratin
Chicken Salad in Lettuce Nests
OlivesWafers
Pistachio Cream
Fancy Cakes Iced in Pale Green
CoffeeBonbons

This repast, served by three pretty waitresses in white gowns and green ribbons, was eminently satisfactory. Green and white bonbons are easy to obtain. Care must be taken, however, not to carry the color scheme too far into the menu, as green is not an appetizing color in all kinds of food.

St. Patrick's Birthday

"'Twas the eighth day of March, so some people say,

St. Patrick at midnight, he first saw the day!

While others contend 'twas the ninth he was born,

An' 'twas all a mistake between midnight and morn.

But mistakes will occur in a hurry and shock,

And some blamed the baby, and some blamed the clock.
