Why is a little doily on the back of a chair called an antimacassar?
WikiRicki
At one time we men oiled our hair with macassar oil to give us that irresistible look. But this didn't do the soft furnishings any good at all and so houseproud housewives would hang an anti-macassar covering over the back of the chair to protect it.

What rhymes with properly?
Improperly. There is more than one way to write poetry more easily. Start with your first sentence and use the the last word of that sentence to rhyme with the third sentence (thus, you can use your word 'properly.') Example: * She stood looking out to sea; her spun gold hair swirling across her face, * I stood watching her, wondering how I could approach her properly, * Her slim body seemed to sway along with the sea breeze with such grace.

Plating, or presenting, a selection of petits fours to guests can be very simple or very elaborate. A single lovely plate can be sprinkled with powdered sugar or any edible flower petals (such as miniature rose petals or violets) and the petits fours arranged simply on that. A lacy paper or foil doily may be used on the plate, and a larger lacy napkin or doily can disguise a less than beautiful plate. Plan for two or three little cakes per guest, plus three extra so the plate will not empty. Another excelent presentation might use a two- or three-teired dessert tray, in which case no doily is needed. Either type of plate, with or without doily, may be garnished with mint leaves, a few perfect strawberries or other tiny colorful fruit.
