girl found herself.
Another up-to-date hostess evolvsi
an unusual way OF having her guests
find their partners at an informal eve
ming affair.
The company was a large one and
she desired to mingle the guests A.
much as possible. So she gave each
man paper and pencil, introduced
him to a lady, telling him to talk with
her for i've minutes and then write a
minute description OF her gown, gen
erai appearance, hair, etc, etc.
After ten minutes the papers were
collected. At refreshment time these
clips we're scattered promiscuously
among the men and they we're asked
10 find the lady who answered to the
description on their paper and take
her ~ supper.
Here is a description OF q table ar
ranged for a birthday party OF a ten
year-old girl. II was so beautifully
simple in design and detail that any
mother could carry out the scheme
with very little trouble or expense.
The guests were "a in number.
To save table linen, as It was in the
country, and laundry work at a pre-
ulium, the table was set with pink
crepe tissue paper mats. The cake,
which was the center Of attraction.
was a large angels food, iced With
white and decorated with candie1
cherries and spikes of cltron. Around
The cake was a barrel hoop, wound
With pink paper and ferns. In this
hoop pink candles were stuck. The
holders can be dashboard with sharp
lacks in the end, such as are used on
Christmas trees. There were just as
many candles as the hoop would hold;
they represented "the years to come"
On small hoop right close up to the
cake were ten pink candles, while
right in the middle OF the cake was
one tall candle, "the year to grow on"
Bowls of flowers were at the four cor
ners of the table, with plates Of chick
en- sandwiches, sailed almonds, lemon
ade with cherries in it, and tall glasses
filed with plain vanilla Ice cream. The
cream had tablespoonful of whipped
cream on top, capped by Maraschino
cherry. Paper napkins were used and
Swapping caps, so dear to childish
hearts, were the favors.
