WHEN the fields are full of daisies, and they are growing in the parks,
too, ask mother to allow you to go and gather some, and then you’ll be
ready for a daisy party. Of course this is an outdoor party!
When you write your invitations, sketch a daisy in the corner (a daisy
isn’t hard to draw!) and color it with your crayons. For your party you
will need a sheet like you had for your buttercup party, except that a
daisy is drawn, instead of a buttercup. Daisy ring toss is like rose
ring toss, too, except that the rings are wound with yellow and white
paper. You will need, also, some little gift, as a prize for the one
who pins the stem to the daisy. If you like, you can make a few yellow
and white bean bags.
It will not be hard to entertain your friends at the daisy party. “Drop
the Daisy” is a lively game like “Drop the Handkerchief.” Daisy ring
toss will be a great deal of fun, and every one will enjoy trying to
pin the stem to the daisy. You can have a merry game with the yellow
and white bean bags, and then will be ready for refreshments. If your
guests are girls, they will enjoy helping you decorate the table with
daisies, but perhaps mother will prefer to do it herself.
For supper, serve chicken salad, rolls, deviled eggs, white and gold
cake, and vanilla ice cream. Have the ice cream cut in round slices (it
should be packed in a can for this) and in the center, place a round of
lemon jelly, to resemble the center of the daisy.
Forget your work, forget your troubles,
And come around to blow some bubbles!
