MENUS FOR AFTERNOON
BRIDGE
The hostess who entertains at a bridge party
does not like to leave her guests very long in
order to prepare refreshments. 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.
