It is perfectly proper to celebrate and you can have a merry time with little expense. Have tiny woolly toy sheep for favors and serve lamb salad (made after a chicken salad recipe). Wear a woolen dress and your husband white flannels.
I belong to a little card club and have to entertain the other members one afternoon soon. Can you suggest something which is easily prepared and can be served as a lap lunch?—Mrs. F. T., Huntington, W. Va.
Ham mousse in individual moulds with thin bread and butter sandwiches. Ice cream served in cantaloupe. Iced tea with a slice of lemon and Armour's Grape Juice, which needs no flavoring.
What can I put with my silverware when packing it away to keep it from tarnishing?—Mrs. S.
Pack in bags of Canton flannel before putting into the drawers or boxes and place with them a few pieces of camphor gum.
Please tell me if it is proper to eat cake with the fingers or must a fork be used?
It depends on the cake. If one with a soft filling, a fork will be necessary.
