BIRD PARTY" IS PRETTY
Splendid Idea for Hostess Who Is Seeking Some Novelty
for the Entertainment of Her Guests-Rhymes in
Which Answers Are Clevery Concealed.

One OF the prettiest parties TO be
given this month is described here.
The idea is not original with the host
ess, but was given TO her by friend
who also sent her the rhymes which
have copied for the benefit OF all the
department readers. The scheme is
so clever that ] am sure many a host
ess will find It Just the very thing she
is looking for
Each invitation will be decorated
with birds, two of a kind. one to be
sent TO a man. the other TO a woman,
so partnefs or mates will be easily
found when all have arrived. Vines,
flowers in season, palms, ferns, and
quantities of artificial flowers will
transform the rooms into veritabIe
bowers and cages containing canaries
and parrots will enhance the woodland
effect OF course these will be bor-
rowed and a number will be rented
from nearby store.
Stuffed birds, owls, etc, will perch
upon branches Of trees in a most real
istic manner.
tiny nests filed with candy eggs,
little bird perched on the nest Little

Wells OF ALL KINDS
