WATERMELON
A
LA MODE.
THE LATEST FAD IN SWELLDOM.
Make a little less than a quart of good strong brandy punch, cut a holu
in the end of a large ripe watermelon and save the plug which has been cut
out; pour the punch slowly into the aperture until the melon has absorbed it
all (it usually takes thirty minutes to accomplish this), replace the plug,
ice the melon thoroughly, and when ready to serve cut into slices and serve
on plates with knives, forks and napkins.
A
cold quart of champagne is sometimes used instead of the punch.
