Watermelon For Tea

Take a fine ripe watermelon, put it on ice until it becomes very cold; cut the melon, removing the seeds, then cut into fancy shapes pieces sufficient in size for one mouthful. Place the melon into glass dish, sprinkling a little fine sugar over the first layer, then another layer of the fruit, then sugar, and so on until you fill the dish. Sprinkle sugar on top, return to refrigerator. Dish and eat as any other kind of fruit. Delightful.
