Invitations to this party were sent
out on postcards on which there was
snapshot of the hostess new home.
1t was a delightful affair, with unique
touches that clever entertainer al
ways contrives to give her little par
ties, no matter how informal.
After the dozen chosen friends had
arrived and duly admired the cozy
porch with its furnishings of green.
the maid appeared with cold beverages,
which the hostess poured; then she
told them she wanted their very best
ideas regarding house building; that
for the two best plans there were
prizes.
Paper and pencils were passed and
n half hour allotted for the architects
to turn in their creations. The result
five minutes to explain the merits of
her plan. Some remarkably clever
ideas were developed and much un-
suspected talent revealed. The prizes
were subscriptions to well-known mag
azines devoted to household affairs,
and the favors were tiny wooden jap
anese houses filed with bonbons. For
refreshments there were canteloupes
filled with New York ice cream, iced
tea and dainty English biscuit.
In week or two this same hostess
will entertain the same people, and
they will furnish" the houses planned
at this party.

full this exchange of ideas is and how
