Here the re- frigerator plays an important part. Salads and desserts can be prepared in the morning, sandwiches may be made, wrapped in dry cheesecloth and in damp cheesecloth, and put in a covered receptacle; syrup arid fruit juices for the fruit punch may be combined in a covered glass jar, the ice blocks decorated ready for use, and the charged water bottles put in to chill. With the preparations made in the morning, it is a simple matter to take things out on a tray, and carry them to the card tables when it is time for the refreshments to be served. 18 I MENUS FOR AFTERNOON BRIDGE I Salad in Aspic Jelly Salad Rolls Raspberry Ice Cream Sandwich Hot Chocolate Bonbons Nuts II Chilled Fruit Salad Cream Cheese Sandwiches
