edness to everyone who enters into
the spirit of the day and enjoys all the
foolishness perpetrated. For a party
send out just the opposite sort of in
vltation from what is expected, by
making the invitation very formal But
the time for the arrival of the girls
on their cards for eight-thirty, and on
the mems for nine o'clock. When the
girls arrive they may be met by the
hostess mother, who will admit them,
but will say that the party is SEIZED
uled for tomorrow night, and in the
midst of the guests confusion at this
announcement, the hostess will call
down april Fool" After the girls
have all arrived, explain to them that
the boys thought the party joke, and
that none of them were coming, but
you hope they will try to have good
time, anyway. AS the hostess has ap-
peared in her kitchen costume, she
says they will hunt up some decora-
tons and trim up the house. The
girls find these decorations, concealed
around the piano, under the daven-
port, and in all sorts of out of the
way places. In the midst of their dec
Grating the boys appear, and the
hostess has removed her apron, which
concealed her best dress"
A prize is announced, to be given
at the end of the evening to the per-
son fooled the most times and the one
fooled the least times, during the
evenings entertainment. Everyone
who must pay forfeit during the
evening is given Ounce cap. Bal
looms then were found floating around
the room-enough to supply each
guest with gayly colored one.

fashioned game of Blind Mans Buff
but suddenly all quietly leave the
room. which leaves the blinded one to
stumble around finding no one. After
a while he will become suspicious, re
move his blind, and discover the sign

ders that will come to your mind.
