An unlaue Party.

There are novelties in entertain

town, and this scheme of New Jersey
girl is one that took" wonderfully.
The affair was held ON the broad piaz-
"a surrounding the house that faced
the grand old ocean.
The invitations were for bottle"
party; each guest was requested to
bring bottle (empty) any size or
shape or course every one wondered
what the result would be when the
motley collection of bottles appeared
on the table waiting to receive them.
After few moments spent in spec
uiating as to the future of those bot
ties" the hostess brought In yard
lengths of crepe paper of many colors,
cotton, pins, odds and ends of ribbon,
etc, and requested each guest to Sc
lect bottle and transform it into a
doll; there was supply OF corks to
use in forming heads, which were COW
cred with cotton.
A half hour was allowed to finish
these creations; prizes We're awarded
for the best, worst and funniest.
Next the hostess passed cards with
pencils attached, numbered from l to
20; the guests were taken into room
In which stood 20 bottles. each bear
ing tag numbered from 1 to 20, Vel
low paper concealed the contents OF
the bottles, which We're pill size up to
gallons. One sniff or "whiff'' was
permitted, then the supposed contents
were written down opposite the mum
Der on the card.
Lavendar salts, bottles of cologne,
and sachets We're given as prizes.
The next test was very pretty. Each
guest was blindfolded and led around
the room tn which flowers were ar
ranged In vases on mantel and tables.
The one who recognized the most flow
ers by the odor received handsome
nosesay surrounded by fril, of lace
paper.
The refreshments consisted OF flow
er forms made in ices and creams
with dainty little cakes ornamented
