Give Tble mi Turkey Uovli A Gala
look For Thanksgiving
Setting your table in new and
beautiful ways is part of the fun
of entertaining. With
Thanksgiving in the offing,
now's the time to get ready for
this gala holiday. Here are just a
few ways in which you can add
extra flair - not only to the
traditional holiday bird, but to
your table setting, as well:
Dramatize the Bird: That
beautiful golden-brown turkey is
the center of attention on any
Thanksgiving table so play it up
as much as possible. A very
pretty way to do it is to dip
seedless green grapes first in
lightly beaten egg white, then in
granulated sugar,-Arrange in a
single layer on waxed papers,
and let dry at room temperature
several hours, or until crusty.
When the tru key's ready to
, serve, cluster the grapes at either
end of the platter and fill in at
the sides with parsley sprigs.
Serve "Vegetable Bouquets":
Instead of a flower centerpiece
that space goes to the turkey);
feature colorful individual
' bouquets " made of vegetables
celery hearts, notched
cucumber slices, carrot sticks,
radish roses, and sprigs of
parsley. Stand them upright in
small bowls or cups, or in tiny
herb pots or flowerpots (these
make wonderful gifts for your
guest to take with them later).
Set the Scene with Silver -That
well-used kitchenware's
practical, but Thanksgiving calls
for something special something
as beautiful as solid silver. This
lovely tableware can make all the
difference in your entertaining.
And these days, it's possible
through special purchase plans
to acquire sterling at once and
pay for it through extended time
fiayments - often with no
inance or carrying charges.
Light the Candles: The gleam
of candlelight makes every table
prettier. Candles of varying
heights or colors can be
clustered together for more
candle power, and make an
interesting arrangement at the
side of the table.
At no other time are pleasant
surroundings and the hospitality
and warmth of a beautiful table
so much appreciated as
during the Thanksgiving dinner.
You can make it a truly
memorable one for your family
and guests this year by adding
the special touches that help
make it so festive.
Use Color Boldly: Keep an
eye out for inexpensive fabrics
which can be used to make a
cloth and napkins - and don't be
afraid to apply a lavish hand in
the use of color. The richness of
gold, russet or green can provide
an elegant setting for a holiday
turkey. An effective treatment
for a round table is to use two
cloths - first a round one, then a
square cloth in a contrasting
solid color or print - and let both
hand to the floor.
