ENTERTAINING THE CHILDREN
NNE of the secrets of a successful
~ birthday entertainment for children

nNE of the secrets of a successful
~ Obirthday entertainment for children
is to specify the hours in the invita-
tion, say from 3 to S, 6 to g. to 10,
according to the ages of the little ones.
If children arrive early at a party and
stay on indefinitely, not only the guests
but the entertainers are worn out, so
it is better for all concerned that fes-
tfvities end when every one is having
the best time ever than to wait until
amusement begins to pail.
Another point in party giving is to
have some simple form of play" to fill
up every minute.
The presence of a young girl friend
or some Jony young man to start things
is often of great assistance to the
mother.
AS soon as two or three children as
semble begin playing games, for it is
usually TIE first half hour or hour that
MAKES or mars the success of the party,
especially where the children are Of
mixed ages.
Let some one stay in the dressing
room to help the children take off their
wraps and make introductions if neces-
sary.
AS to the kind of games, If one lives
in an apartment where the rooms are
small and the other dwelIers have to
be taken into account, the entertain
ment may have to be limited to quiet
sports

The queen of this tempestuous mob

- Oh and Susie Van Brunt had al
ready gone on number of jour
neys by means of ordinary We
hicles. when ,one day their father sug-
gested that the whole family should go
on a trip in balloon, the object be-
ing to get an idea of the interior
waterways of the United States by vis-
iting somes of the principal rivers.
Everybody acceded with delight to this
proposal, and Mr.. Van Brunt told them
they must be ready to start on the
trip early next morning
The next day the family started gay-
~ up in the air, when suddenly Bob
cried, We've forgotten something"
His father and mother could not
guess what it was until Bob said de-
murely, Susie" and sure enough sleepy
Susie had forgotten about the early
start and had been left behind.
The party put back at once and
called to old Dinah. the family cook,
who was out on the veranda, to tell
the dilatory traveller to hurry up.

night Bob came running to Susie much

"Oh, | overheard papa talking about
that to the balloonman at our last
stopping place, but, after all, I'm glad
were going back by train. It's much
surer than the balloon, and you know
we don't want to miss our invitation
to Cousin Jennie's birthday party,
which we will do if we aren't back
soon"
This reconciled Bob to the thought
that the balloon trip was over and the
next morning they bade goodby to
their interesting vehicle and boarded
the train for home.
