A Simple Party.

This IL certainly q most amusing
affair and will repay hostess for the
trouble of arranging for II. But then
to be successful hostess the labor
that precedes an event should never

hostess requests a sample Of the gown
which they will wear and to the men
the missives request sample OF the
necktie; these to be sent in advance
to the hostess. The samples are neat
ly mounted on sample cards. and
the neckties passed to the girls; the
dress materials to the men. In this
way partners are found for the prog
ressive conversation which will be-
passed, and the men are to write ee-
scriptions of the gown. the sample Of
which fell to their lot, and the girls
are to write about the ties, material.
style, etc. Five minutes will be given
to these descriptions, and then the pa
pers will be read aloud. The prizes
are to be sample packages OF any
product the hostess may select.
The refreshments are to be novel.
inasmuch as the hostess will have the
tea and coffee made by a demon
strator" Zone OF the party who has
been previously asked to do III. and
the other things are to be served in
boxes marked Samples" There will
be sandwiches. of various kinds. olives.
salad. small cakes. etc, The contents
of the boxes will be spread upon the
table. which is TO be supplied with all
the requisites in the way OF dishes.
While at the table the room is to be
suddenly darkened and little saucers
containing a mixture of chopped nuts.
