Whether the story OF Washington and

who entertain may be thankful for the
episode for cherries and cherry blossoms

foundation for the celebration planned
today. The Ideas are easily carried out
so that last-minute hostesSes can use
them as well as those who wish for
some added features for party plan

seeds are partners. BY having the bios

for the girls and one for the boys. the
distribution Of the flowers is simpli-

The game for which the partners are
secured is as pretty as a shower Of
cherry petals when the wind blows them
from the trees. The hostess has cut,
from tissue paper. a great bowl fun Of
cherry blossoms. BY folding the paper
LAYERS Of tissue for each fold, at least
dozen flowers can be cut at one time.
The fold should be the length of the
paper and so one set of flowers after

hostess the players throw their hand

settled down, each couple gathers as

The couple picking up the most
