Hint for Dinner Parties,

principal difficulties incident to dinner

On arriving in the drawing room the
guests find two baskets of flowers.

tickets. The men are requested to
shut their eyes, put hand into one
basket, adorned with forget-me-nots or
some other blue flower, and pull out
card. The ladies perform a like cere.

bower of pink blossoms, generally
roses. The corresponding numbers
