Take the lettuce that has been left in ice-water to become crisp, press it out on a linen cloth; arrange the lettuce in the form of a ring on a platter one leaf for each half artichoke and in the center put the whole artichoke, forming the other in a ring around with the wide end in and the point out and fill. Filling. Dip the grapes in hot water and remove the skin and pits, cut them in four lengthwise; mix with a spoon of mayonnaise dressing and fill.

Decorate a heavy strip along the artichoke and decorate all around with maraschino cherries and a half of a maraschino cherry in the center of each. Arrange a crisp lettuce leaf in between each and around the arti¬ chokes in the center. Garnish with little even slices of maraschino cherries here^and there.
