MRS. WILSON PLANS REFRESHMENTS
FOR THE CHILDREN,S PARTY
Them
Menus That Are Not Expensive and " i'll Make the Affair
Successful

liTroWARD the close Of summer the
children begin to realize that
RSeptember brings with it the opening
\ of the schools. and so they plan to
X get the most out of every hour be-
tween now and that time.
Permitting the children to enter
tain soon establishes nice manners
\ and form of social training that
(, will help them make friends, for
| every mother knows that to give a
4 party to ones playmates is the pet
1 ambition of every small child. But
many mothers hesitate to give the
K children a party because they feel
A that it means providing an expensive
menu.
4 How to Prepare for a Children's
Party
Have some of the older girls help
|. to arrange the games and, if thS day
I is clear, let them have their fun on
Il the lawn or in the yard. About one
! hour after the children have COM
Il menced their games fetch in a cot
ton or large Jack Horner pie and set
! it on the ground. Have little card
with the name of each child on it.
H Tie to this card piece of string
I about two yards long and gather all
d the strings together in an even
bunch.
Now prepare the pie as follows:
4 Take large dishpan and cover with
!. cotton in the bottom. Place on this
small gift for each child. These
n little gifts may either be homemade
L or purchased at the five-and-ten-
cent store. Tie string to each gift.
Now make a cylinder Of piece of
\ stiff cardboard; pass the strings
through this and place it in the CEN
\ ter of the disbpan. Cover the top of
/ the pan with more cotton and then
| allow the children to hunt their
4 names, and when all are ready let
one at time start to pull the gifts
Z from the pan.
When all the gifts are distributed
I have refreshments in the form of an
1 afternoon tea.
