About this ebook
Excerpt:
"A FOURTH OF JULY LAWN FROLIC
THIS is not to be a formal lawn party, but a genuine, fun-provoking Fourth of July frolic with everyone in comfortable dress appropriate for active games. There is to be no dancing, no tennis, nothing in the way of ordinary entertainment except, perhaps, the refreshments, and they too should be as nearly in keeping with the day as possible.
Prepare your guests for something novel by issuing your invitations in the form of giant firecrackers.
Decorate Your Grounds
and make them as festive as possible with fluttering flags, floating streamers, red, white, and blue bunting, and Japanese lanterns. Also provide a number of small flags, one for each guest, to be worn in the hat, hair, belt, and buttonhole. This little touch of uniform will not only make the scene gayer and more exhilarating, but, like badges of an order, will have the effect of dispelling the stiffness of new acquaintances, and bringing the party closer together as members of one band of merrymakers."
