4(1 ET us be gay” is the beef
I sort of motto for the
x —' breakfast table. This is a
meal at which cheerfulness is
really an asset.
If the morning sun comes into
your dining room, encourage it by
lifting the blinds to its golden
splendor. If the room faces north
or west, perhaps you can find a
sunny corner elsewhere in which
to set the breakfast table—a
bridge table will do nicely, if the
fa. illy is small, and it is fun to
make of the first meal of the day
a movable feast.

An Unusual Easter Luncheon
WE don’t know whether it is
duo to the fact that Easter
falls on April first this
year, or that she Im- c.-ntly seen

but one hosi< । we : c'.- : plan

as the insignia of 0 er, ami so j
far we follow her, but a rabbit ■
hole struck us at first a a poor;
place for an Easier li:m.-hion.
However, here's what ; ; ;.y-:
about it.
“I don’t mean that I'm going to
give my Easter lua heon in a rab

going to have a rabbit ' d in the

APRIL FOOL FUN
IT’S fun to give a party on the
first of April, for pc. t le are all
prepared for fooli:-hm s. One
way to make them k b is to
supply each of your an. v. ;U a
dunce’s cap, and m. : e the
rule that they mu.-: ? - 0:1
until you have tried to fool them
and failed. Otherwise the caps
continue to fit
Have a tall dunce’s cap, too, in
the middle of the :h
strings or ribbons b-min, : : : m
beneath it to each
When you sit dow
guests to pull the : n i: ■ ;
tiny purses attach' 1 ’ lie • uti
of each of them (the .-< . f pur
ses you can buy c; t?., : ’
store), and in sonic m / .
a nickle, dime or qu.;; ; r. but in
others nothing but ’in in
scribed “April F 1.” 1 your
guests guess, bet ; - ' ;
purses, whether :.r v-li- 5:.’
wealth in them er that t ;.e urn
witticism.
Some More “Old-Timers'’
Some of your gr.e=i-; will gm'. s
right, and be able t :i their
dunce caps. Ask the rest who are
still wearing -caps :e. w 1::
three lines a picture an armed
soldier passing thmiwh a door

answer is one per.-., i: ...r line

If no one knows thk . ; .1 it falls
4® remove any caps ’ nc min;
to.them will be all sorts of furry
favors —little rabbits full of candy,
chocolate rabbits, colored Easter
eggs tied witli ribbon into tiny
baskets, a mounted left-hind paw
of a rabbit for good luck, and all
that sort of thing. Don’t you
think that will boa good way to
start fun at the lunch?
“And then, of course, I can have
I paper rabbits holding or sitting
I by baskets full of nuts, and bunny
I place cards, and Easter flowers on
I the table, and I may even have
I an edge of rabbit fur on the table
cloth. I have an old piece of rab
! bit skin, but. my husband says it
i would be a shame to cut it up. He
i doesn't know everything, though.
IHe suggested having an Easter
I egg-nog, and that's not part of
|my idea at all. Here’s my menu:
Pears and Strawharries in Lime
Juice
Chicken, .ilmond and
Pickle Mousse
S’cw Asparagus on Toast with
Drawn Putter
Clover Leaf Holls
Endive and 11 atercress with
Stuffed Celery
Grapefruit Sherbet
Frosted Sponge Cakes
Coff c Assorted Mints
“And here are the recipes for I
1 the dishes you will want to know 1
j how to make:
Pears and Strawberries in Lime ;
I Juice: Drain the syrup from a ;
I No. 2 can of pears, and cut in ■
| cubes. Add one cup of strawber-1
I ries, halved or quartered. Divide I
1. else until they are all removed.
I Ask innocently of someone if he
11 has seen Arthur to-day. “Arthur
>; who?” is almost the invariable
. - inquiry, to which the answer is:
; i “Our thermometer." Foolish but
: fun.
There are most realistic candy
; I cigarettes and cigars in the candy
I shops, and these can be passed to
. I the guests, some of whom may
take one in good faith, especially
. i if you have picked up one in ap
- parent absent mindeduess, and
■ I struck a match with which to
- j light it.
Take the Food Seriously
You can fo.d your guc Rs to the
1 top of your bent with these and
other equally foolish stunts, but
• be snre that you don’t try to fool
' thenr about the quality of the
‘ food. That’s a serious matter,
and should Ie so treated. Wc
would suggest a dinner like the
following:
