GOOD IDEAS FOR HOSTESS.
"UncIe Remus" Party Among Other
 Suggestions Offered.
An In-Door Picnic.

An In-Door Picnic.
 The idea of an indoor picnic Is not a new one, but its revival always gives pleasure, so when young maiden said she was ''so weary of conVen- tional luncheons, dinners and teas, and wished for "just one good time with no formality," the ever alert nos tess took the hint and in a few days 12 well chosen couples were the re, cipients of cunning little baskets with a note requesting that the receptacles be filled with picnic lunch for two, that they repair on the date designa- ted attired in tub suits.
 At the appointed time there were no tardy arrivals and 1t surely was an entrancing scene for every room had been transformed into summer land, Japanese lanters twinkled and gleamed from every nook and corner, there were softly shaded fairy lamps, palms, vines and potted plants. Large Japanese umbrellas made most allur- ing tete-a-tete places and there were pOrCn CnalrS ana SeILeo HI piaSC oA the ordinary furniture. Hammocks were swung up across corners and the walls were adorned with tennis nets, raquets, golf bags and sticks.
 Each man was given fishing rod and threw his line over a most real istic wall and hooked, not fish, but a basket, the handle adorned with a bow of ribbon, and he" had to find the woman who wore a bow of the same color somewhere on her gown or in her hair. In this way partners were chosen.
 The hostess provided napkins, drink ables of all sorts, both hot and cold; and delicious ice cream which was packed in individual paper cartons. After the supper, which consumed a good share of the evening, each guest took a turn at the fish pond" and caught a real fish which proved to be a candy box filled. These fish come in all sizes and are just the thing for souvenirs at an affair of this kind. 4-
