Table Decoration

Daffodills or jonquils may be used for the flowers. A pretty effect is secured by having yellow crepe paper under a lace or Mexican table cover or doilies. Tiny chickens can be used effectively either as a center piece or for favors. One can be put at each place holding in its nib a dainty place card in the shape of an egg painted on yellow and white.

Mint Cocktail

Cut I can pineapple into small cubes. Remove the pulp of 3 oranges from the dividing membrane and cut into small pieces. Break 1/4 pound after dinner mints into tiny pieces and mix with the fruit an hour before lunch, setting away in a cold place; serve in sherbet glasses, covered with crushed ice and powdered sugar.

Chicken Croquettes

To 1 1/2 c thick white sauce (6 T flour, 4 T butter, 1 1/2 c liquid), add 3 c chopped cold cooked chicken, 3/4 t salt, 1/2 t celery salt, speck cayenne pepper, 2 t lemon juice, and if desired a few drops onion juice. Mix well, set in the refrigerator until very cold, then mould with the aid of a chicken croquette mould into tiny chickens. Egg and crumb and fry in hot fat.

Mushroom Sauce

Make 2 c medium white sauce (4 T flour, 4 T butter, 2 c liquid), using part cream and part chicken stock. To this add two cans of the button mushrooms. Season well and just before serving add 1 T minced parsley, if desired.

Finger Rolls

Mix and sift twice 1 qt. flour, 2 T sugar, 1 t salt, and 3 T baking-powder. Cut in 1/4 c shortening, lard, snowdrift, etc.; mix to a soft dough using about 1 1/2 c equal parts milk and water, toss onto a floured board. With the back of the spoon pat it out to about one inch in thickness, taking care that there is no flour on the top of the dough. Soften 4 T butter, cut into small pieces, spread on the top and press into the dough. Fold one half over the other and pat out to about 1/2 inch in thickness. Cut into strips 3 inches long and 1/2 inch wide, and bake in a hot oven.

Bird's-Nest Salad

Color Neufchatel or Cottage Cheese a delicate green with green coloring paste. Mould into the shape and size of robins' eggs and lay in a nest of shredded lettuce, three to a serving. Sprinkle with coarse black pepper, and serve with French dressing.

Angel Parfait

Boil together 1 c sugar, and 1/2 c water until it threads. Beat the whites of 3 eggs until stiff and dry, adding 1/2 t cream of tartar when the eggs are foamy. Pour the syrup slowly onto the whites of the eggs and continue beating until cold. Add 1 T vanilla, and 1 pt. heavy cream, whipped stiff. Put into moulds and let stand for 3 h, packed in equal portions salt and chopped ice.

For this Easter Luncheon color half of the Parfait with either the yolk of an egg or with the yellow coloring matter. Put into the moulds in layers or with a marbled effect.

A very attractive way of serving the dessert for this luncheon would be as follows: Make Vanilla Wafers, roll as cornucopias, fill with the Angel Parfait and lay on a dessert plate with a daffodil beside it.
