Thisis a girls’ party, and perhaps your Sunday-school class would enjoy giving it on the church lawn. You will need quaint, old-fashioned costumes, and very likely you can find them in the attic, in great-grandmother’s trunk. Ask mother to dress your hair high and powder it.
You and your classmates can serve old-time refreshments, such as frozen custard and pound cake, or “election” cake, fruit punch (which you can make like fruit lemonade) and ices.
Arrange a program of old-fashioned music, such as “Ben Bolt,” “Nancy Lee,” “Kathleen Mavourneen,” “Blue Bells of Scotland,” and others. Your musical friends will be glad to help you, and your teacher will take charge of the refreshments, while you and your classmates serve the guests. You can probably make quite a good deal of money by this party, especially if there are summer hotels in your town.
