The Spider Party VIII Furnish Much
Amusement For Christmas.
A "spider party is "A novel method
of giving presents at Christmas to chil-
dren and may be thus arranged The
guests, ON arrival, are greeted by an
enormous spider in the center Of huge
web spun across the entire room, and
from all possible nails and projections
should be maze of white cotton
threads, each attached at one end u ii
large, brightly colored spider, at tie
end of which must be hung little
wooden winder Each guest, in turn,
chooses one of the spiders, and, wind
ing up the thread, following all its i'll
tricacies, reaches at last IA special insect,
inside of which has been placed the
small present.
Great amusement is produced by these
unexpected finds, which may be varied
according to the wishes of the hostess
from bonbons and knickknacks or small
toys to little articles of jewelry, neck
ties, etc OF course, if wished, the
name Of each guest may be written ON
the little Winders, so as to insure the
right gift going to right child or
grown up person, Any one can make
the large colored spiders at home, or
procure them from any large toyshop,
and when sending out her invitations
they should be SO worded as to invite
her friends to spider at home
party, which will cause much wonder
and interest to be taken in the approach
ing party by her intended little visitors.
