Even at the most formal of dinner
parties many of the hostesses Of today
use place cards as an
Taste Shown in additional decoration

pecially n resting
are these cards. if. as is frequently the
case, the hostess herself has designed
them. Perhaps they are water colors,
perhaps pen and ink. and not gems of
artistic worth at that, but they may
have the quality of being applicable
in humorous way, and the fact that
they were done by the hostess makes
them interesting to her guests.
Many women use. year In and year
out, their embossed dinner cards, either
with merely monogram or with the
family crest or the name of the family
home In one corner or at the top, but
a card more pertinently suited to the
occasion shows greater personal in
terest on the part of the hostess to her
guests.
For game dinners at the country club
or in the out-of-town houses there are
unique cards done in water colors after
some Of the well known paintings of
the hunt or the chase.
Little pen and ink sketches Of the
guest himself is favorite idea of one
hostess, and snapshots pasted on pretty
cards form amusing place cards.
At dinner given by press club in
a western city the places were marked
by lines of type on common newspaper
slips.
