A BUTTERFLY SUPPER.

Under the chandeliers, in corners and doorways, have butterflies
fluttering from invisible silver wires. These butterflies are made from
delicate hued crepe paper, their wings marked with rings of ruby, green,
blue, gold and silver. Each guest is offered a butterfly on entering the
drawing room; the men wearing them as boutonniers, the women putting
them in their hair.

The host fastens a large paper butterfly, minus one wing and the
antennae, to a curtain hung across a window. Each guest, in turn,
blindfolded, tests his idea of distance in trying to pin the wing and
antennae on the butterfly. A set of six paper butterfly princess lamp
shades is the woman's head prize. A butterfly whisk holder, containing a
silver handled brush, is given the equally lucky man. The "boobies" are
a miniature lantern and a toy spy-glass.

In the dining room this supper is served. First a fruit drink, lemonade
or grape juice. On the plate on which the glass cup rests have a small
bunch of purple grapes. Decorate fish plates with lemon baskets holding
the sauce tartare. With broiled chops serve stuffed tomatoes and corn
pudding moulded in cups with white sauce flavored with onion. Serve
raspberry ice. For salad serve pears and German cherries sweetened. For
dessert serve the nutmeg muskmelons filled with ice cream or ice.

Have a tin-smith make a butterfly shaped cake cutter, four inches across
the wings. Bake these cakes in a quick oven, ice them white, pink and
green and then mark with rings of a contrasting color of icing.

The centre scarf and doilies, of fine white linen, for the dining table,
have a cut-out butterfly border worked with white silk and gold thread.
A fairy rose-tree, trained on a bamboo trellis, the pot dressed in
skirts of white and green paper and sash of satin ribbon, makes a most
effective centre piece. Paper butterflies shade the candles, and a crepe
paper covered box of bonbons, with a butterfly hovering over the top,
stands beside each plate. Decorate the name cards with s
