POTATO PUFFS MINT AND GREEN PEA JELLY HOT ROLLS WAFFLES MAPLE SYRUP COFFEE Table Decoration Let the decorations be, if possible, in wild flowers. Dog- wood, May flowers, trillia, hepatica, trailing arbutus, violets, anemones, etc., are all In bloom at this time of the year in different parts of the country. Let the arrangement be careless and graceful, with delicate vines, if they can be secured, running from the center and outlining the plates. Strawberries au Naturel Select very large, perfect berries, wash and drain, leav- ing the hulls on. Place in the center of the plate a small cup containing powdered sugar. This cup may be one of the dainty paper models, or if possible for this special occa- sion, made of green leaves folded and pinned in shape. Around the cup lay a circle of the strawberries, with the hulls toward the edge of the plate. If they can be secured, large leaves may be laid on the plates instead of paper doilies. The strawberries are taken up by the hulls, dipped in the sugar, and eaten. Lamb Chops Select rib chops and have the butcher French them; wipe with a damp cloth and broil either in a broiler or on top the stove in a frying-pan. Remove to a hot platter, dust with salt and pepper, and spread with butter. If desired, the fancy paper frills may be slipped over the bone ends, or a sprig of parsley may be twisted around it.
