Entertainments for Church Socials, Women's Social and Charitable Organizations: Juvenile Young People's Societies, and Private Parties (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

Excerpt from Entertainments for Church Socials, Women's Social and Charitable Organizations: Juvenile Young People's Societies, and Private Parties

The Festival of Roses is a beautiful entertainment for the month of June, and has delighted all who have seen it. It is attended with but little expense, and must be given when roses are just in their prime. Let a large committee be appointed to solicit roses - the cut flowers, (who that has them will not share them for a benevolent enterprise?) also trailing vines of all kinds, and ferns.

From these, select the choicest and put aside to be made into hand and button hole bouquets and sold.

If possible, give the entertainment in one large, rather than in several small rooms, as less material will be required for decorating, and the general effect will be more pleasing.

For decorations use festoons of cheese cloth of the colors of roses - pink, red, white, yellow, cream and rose.

After this is arranged, pin, with common dressing pins, roses of all colors, also vines and fern leaves at intervals on the drapery.

The cheese cloth can be sold after the entertainment, or laid aside to be used on another occasion.

If the room is not carpeted, a home-like effect is obtained by placing rugs here and there on the floor, and having rockers, easels, etc., arranged as in a parlor.
