Recipes For An
Autumn Festival
By MISS JOHNNIE CAMP
Home Service Director
Virginia Electric & Power Co.
Capture the festive mood of the
Fall Season for your table—and
have a gay dinner. The kiddies ane
the grown-ups will be apprecia
tive.
This year the Nation’s trend t<
toward early traditions, ideals, psy
chologies, and simplicities. Lay a
way all cares and smile away th‘
wrinkles on your brow, make this
a feast day, jolly and amusing.
Create a “homey” atmosphere.
If possible, have a log fire in
the living room, draw the shades
low enough to use candles, which
may be set in pumpkin holders.
Decorate the room profusely with
autumn leaves.
Crepe paper of gay orange ac
centuated with black—a jar of
paste, a pair of scissors and a
wee bit of imagination and crea
tive ability can be fashioned into
most attractive decorations and
favors for the table.
A gay basket of fruit or a pot
plant may be your center piece
for the table—a cover of paper
may be shaped into petals, etc.—
and if you wish, have some a
musing favors hidden away un
derneath the fruit.
And now for the feast itself—
