Give BnfterhY Party.

GlNE DulLbLuJ 4 ATTY
Madame X--Why not give a butterfly
party for your small daughter Have
n large bunch OF dsffodils in the center
OF the table where the refreshments are
served-and then hang, BY means OF
very fine threads. from the chandelier,
paper or silk butterfiies-yellow and
brown to harmonic with the floral dec
orations. Have some large paper but
terfies made 20 put IN the hair OF the
little girls as they come.
The principal feature Of the party
would be a butterly-hunt for flowers
You should have flowers concealed
about the room, and should give each
child a basket, prettny trimmed, with
which she IS to hunt for them. Garry
out the butterfly idea in every possible
way, and I think the children will be
very much amused. You can have
boxes Of candy decorated with butter
files for souvenirs.
