WAYS OF FINDING PARTNERS
Some New and Original Ideas Which
Intending Hostesses May Find
Of Real Value.

A correspondent kindly tells OF
these ways TO find partners:
"One girl had conundrums written
on cards and given to the girls; the
answers to these were handed to the
gentlemen and they were numbered
corresponding with the numbers on
the girls cards; they were told to
find who their partners were. An
other girl had the girls names writ
ten backward on cards and handed
them to the gentlemen and told them
10 make out who their partners were.
Another girl bad a small piece cut out
OF the card; the pieces were given to
the girls and the other portions OF tho
cards were given to the gentlemen
and they were told TO look for the
girl who held the card corresponding
