Feast of St. Anthony? In some places, they have a big feast at church.

This is for Juneteenth. Juneteenth (June 19) initially was the day slaves in Texas learned they were free. Later, the 13 Amendment was passed. So people celebrated the 13 Amendment on Juneteenth. traditionally was celebrated with family picnics, potlucks, jello salads, etc. https://visit.archives.gov/whats-on/explore-exhibits/emancipation-proclamation-and-juneteenth

Strawberries are associated with St. Anthony, per this website.
June 13th is his Feast Day. I doubt it has anything to do with Juneteenth since the recipe sounds like something intended for a ladies luncheon.

What cookbook is this from? That might help determine the significance of the date.

I’m confused. There is no way this is from a 1917 cookbook. There were no refrigerators then as far as I know; the most you would have had is an ice box which is very different. Where on the book does it indicate 1917?
