For CHOOSING Partners.

The question of pairing partners for
even. dinner party may be made q
pretty ceremony by this method. Have
two baskets of flowers in the drawing
room, with numbered tickets on the
stem of each blossom. The men are
told to draw from the basket having,
say. pink carnations in it, and the
ladies take theirs from the rose bas-
ket- When numbers are duplicated
partners are found and all proceed to
the dining room
This relieves the hostess of the re-
sponsibility for ones vis-a-vis, and If
her party has only congenial people it
Will probably result in a pleasant
