Pleasure Tells Her Secret,

A girl who IL quite noted among her
friends as a successful hostess says
1t II not just chance, it's due to her
method. This is how she does It.:
People sometimes WONDER" she
writes. why 1t 10 that the boys and
girls always like to have our club
meet at our house. We have such
good times, and I think 1t IL because
we do not waste time sitting around
and wondering what form Of amuse-
ment we will have tonight. This Is
the way I manage to have plenty Of
suggestions for games and other sorts
Of amusements on hand. In the news
papers there are always q lot Of sug-
gestions for games of all kinds and
articles telling how other people have
entertained In clever ways. I have
cut these articles out and pasted them
in an ordinary notebook. classifying
them a. well a. could. as to whether
they were games, guessing contests or
Just merely clever ways to entertain.
Then whenever the club comes to my
house / can turn to this book, and In
few minutes get suggestion for
that evenings entertainment, and II
the game we start first docs not seem
to go well. there is very little trouble
to consult the book again and find
