the guests as they come in. Most OF

all were determined to keep their
identity a secret from brothers and
sweethearts. Mother Goose" the
hostess, stands in the front parlor and
is soon welcoming motley throng.

by "The Fiddlers Three" Little Red

Mother Goose, with Old King Cole,
opened the grand march and the mu-
sic played merrily. A piano will do
for the dancing, but the addition OF a
violin is great improvement. Much
merriment was occasioned when the
masks were removed before the re-
freshments we're served. While the
young people are home for the summer
vacation some one may give a party
like the one described. and l am sure
It win be successful. OF course, the
masking is not essential, but adds a
little spice to the enjoyment. The re-
freshments need not be elaborate, but
a large bowl of lemonade should be
conveniently placed where it will be
easy OF access to all.

Need Not Re prudaery.

Young American women would do
well to heed the words OF recent
lecturer on household economics, who
said that housework need not neces-
sarily be drudgery. She says 1t is not
drudgery. once its technique is mas
tered, any more than dancing or piano
playing or acting or singing are dis
agreeable tasks. once the girl has
mastered the basic principles Of each
of those arts. Housekeeping is rela-
lively simple when one knows how.
The difficulty is that few take the
trouble to learn how. II the same in
telligence and persistence are used
az are employed in mastering any OF
the other accomplishments. after the
learning period Is over. the practice
is comparatively easy. There is a
period OF drudgery In acquiring any
art, no matter what 1t is, and no one
can expect to master housekeeping or
music either who is not willing to
submit to the necessary period of
training. But ease comes with know
ing how and .disposing of the duties
In a clear-headed. systematic. scien-
tiac manufacturing.
