mother of three lovely children
confided to me that her great success
in entertaining children was due to
her aim to have each little guest
equally interested.
With this idea in mind she is going
to give this novel and really fascinat-
ing party. She calls It "Tradesman's
Carnival" The very name has excited
the curiosity of the children as we'll
as their mothers. The hours are from
$500 to $50 on a Saturday afternoon.
The ages of the guests are from eight
to twelve. and there will be Is II
all accept. her three making IS. about
all she can seat comfortably at small
tables in the dining room.
The tradesmen she is to have rep
resented are tailor. dressmaker. pot
ter. jeweler. flower maker. sign paint.
or. artist. basket maker. upholsterer
and carpenter. Two or perhaps three
will work at the same trade. When
the guests arrive they will be given
cards with the name OF the trade they
are to represent. Then the little
craftsmen go to a table. where their
materials are prepared ready for them
and one or two assistants to show
where they are to work. One hour Is
to be the time allotted to make the
finished products. then a bell will
ring and the articles collected and
placed on exhibition. The children
are to be allowed to vote as to the
first. second and third best piece and
the prizes will be awarded. Each
child is also to take home the object
made and each receive a souvenir. SO
all will feel satisfied.

specially designed in the proper sizes
SO one may do the stamping at home.
The size most in use for tablecloths
are letters three inches long in an in
terlaced script. II old English letters
are used one large letter is preferable
to two or three. For napkins the let
tiers should match the cloth only
about two inches in length. Sheets
have the same size letters as a table,
cloth and pillow cases the same as
napkins.
Before deciding upon the marking It
is well to look over designs. There
are linen cases for holding just a
dozen napkins and another pretty way
to keep napkin sets together is to
have straps made Of fancy white silk
elastics with clasps to go around both
ways. Towels may be kept separate
In the same manner.
