A bow of blue ribbon and a berry. Blueberry.
Some fluffy Easter chickens and a pot. Chicken pot pie.
A pair of pruning shears. Prune.
The guests are invited to inspect the pies and guess the contents. Each player works for himself and consultations are not allowed.
Wee note books, having covers decorated in water color, with picturesque Thanksgiving scenes, are distributed among the guests, for use in writing down guesses.
It is explained that fruits, vegetables and everything of which pies are made, figure in the list.
One hour is the usual time limit. The player, who in that time discovers most of the fillings, carries off first honors. There should be a second award and a couple of laughable boobies in the form of jelly tarts.
The first prize might be a smart silver pie knife, and the second a pretty china pie dish.
Smoking hot roasted oysters, jellied tongue with chopped pickle served in Spanish peppers, little hot rolls in form of balls, a plain tomato salad and slices of delicious home-made pies are among the good things of the menu.
