Suggestions For Score Card.
The hostess who wishes to give a
card party with some variations OH
the regular features of such an affair
could use this idea. for her score
cards. The cards may be cut in the
chape of face, but none of the fea-
lures indicated. \ few wayy lines
may be drawn to represent the hair
about the forehead and a collar drawn
in. The features may be drawn separ-
ately, cut out and used as stickers in
scoring. As the game progresses the
results obtained by the winners are
ludicrous in the extreme, as the face
gains feature at time as the
games are won. Two eyes, two ears,
two eyebrows, nose and mouth
are the eight progressions. If more
are needed, netkties, scarf pins, eye
glasses and heads may be drawn. BY
changing the lines of the mouth and
the position of the eyes different ex-
pressions may be obtained. The draw
ings may be done in black and white,
but are more dainty if the features
and face are done in watercolors.
Was Pretty Surprise.
Yesterday a very pretty surprise al
fair was planned for Mrs. William
johnson of Willard street, by her
friends and neighbors, in honor of her
birthday. The guests arrived wholly
unbeknown to the hostess and were
laden with good things of every de-
scription which included refreshments
and birthday remembrances. The after
noon was spent most pleasantly and
with the good-byes, were also most
sincere wishes for many more just as
happy occasions in the future.
