1t was the clever idea Of hostess
entertaining at the season OF the New
Year to write her invitations on card
board shapes, cut out to represent clocks
and watches. The advertising sections
Of periodicals furnished capital patterns
for these, one side of the shapes being
linked in to suggest the chronometer,
and the other left blank for the word
ing.
This last, by the way, was merely the
name of the hostess with the day. date,
hour place, and ITO Meet Father Time. -
The festive room was decorated with
emblems of the passage of time-hour
glasses, scythe, cut from cardboard and
gilded, the reaping hook, &c, and the
first frOlic on the programme was a cal
endar search.
For this game the familiar little leaf
lets with quotations had been hidden
all around the room like the nuts in
a nut search, a generous number, how
ever, being exposed to view, and when
the signal was given all began to hunt
for and collect these papers.
The search lasted 1--WE minutes and the
person collecting most received a re-
ward in the form Of a pretty calendar
Then the object became to see who
could in five minutes obtain most leaf
lets belonging to any particular month
This end was accomplished by eXchang-
Ing begging, borrowing (anything but
