"Miss Elsa Maxwell...that very real person whose exploits in entertaining have made her almost a legendary figure. Elsa Maxwell has combined an unusual charm and a talent fo originality into making herself internationally known for giving sucessful parties. From her San Francisco childhood, through New York, South Africa, Venice, Biarritz, Paris, Monte Carlo and London...back to New York and Hollywood, her trail is marked by a stream of fabulous entertainment. Park Avenue crowded the old Hippodrome..a "Hero Land" reception during the first world war filled Grand Central STation, and her taxi fleet carrying guests to an oasis party in Egypt's desert was the talk of Europe. Today an invitation to an Elsa Maxwell party is more to be desired than presentation at court, for she has made entertaining fun for her guests and organized it to the point that she has as much fun as they do. This booklet was included with Universal Waffle Irons 20 pages. Includes recipes. Topics include: "Entertaining Is Easy"; "Before Your Party"'; "Cocktail parties"; "Dinner parties"; "Brunch" ; "Bridge and Canasta parties"; "Party games".
