Making Parties Enjoyable
Mile. Merits Suggestions

r.. Copyright, 1908.
II n ERE is a suggestion which is de-
cidedly clever The hostess
sent out invitations to ten
guests asking them to dinner; she also
asked them to come with their heads
dressedsto represent some period or per-
son. 1t was. very interesting when all
were seated at the table to see what
change had been wrought by the I'M
usual headgear. The host wore peruke
and a black bow on his white wig; he
was, Of course. hailed as "the Father
of His Country.' The hostess was
"Martha,O with powdered hair dressed
in smooth bands and high shell comb.
One lady had her hair ornamental
with autumn leaves and tiny punches of
artificial grapes. She was at once
dubbed "Autumn. - Another whose
hair was raven black, wore coronet of
gold stars, with a crescent moon, and
she was "Queen- Of the Night. The
funny man of the crowd had a wire bed
spring fastened on either side Of his
head, from which hyacinths and doffo-
dis apparently were growing. Of course
he was called "Spring."
The candle and gas shades were paper
masks, and the effect was very pretty.
& The usual course dinner was served,
with. toasts to the personages who were
represented.
This very pretty color scheme was
carried out in serving the refreshments
at card party. After the game was
finished, the guests retained their seats;
dainty lace and embroidered cloths were
spread over the tables, and candles of
either red, green or yellow were placed
on each table, according to the color
decoration of the room.
In the green room delicious fruit
salad was served in green apple shells;
sandwich Of brown bread, cut crescent
shape, and round sandwich of white
bread with two olives were on the plate
In the red room the salad was served
81 from red apples, while in the yellow
room oranges followed out held the
salad. There were sailed nuts and tutti
frutti ice cream served in tall glasses
Red and yellow tulips, with white rib
bon, boutonniere for flowers used.

To see their daddies come

And lifts his baby in HIS arms

Aftermath.

One man gave lavishly OF gold
And builded tower and town.
Then smiled content TO think his deeds
should win him great renown.
Another, poor in worldly gain,
Gave all within his ken
OF strength and tenderness and truth,
To help his fellowmen.
The record OF the rich mans gifts
Lies on dusty shelf,
The poor man lives in countless hearts,
Because he gave-himself'
