How to Make Your
Party Successful

WHEN you ask number Of friends
w and acquaintance to a party
don't delude yourself into thinking that
every che is delighted to accept your
invitation. There are always men
among them who would lot rather
stay home after their days work-or
at least think they would There are
busy housewives who sigh at the
thought of having to get into party
clothes after round of housework.
There are shy people who dread parties
dread to the prospect of having to talk
with strangers, or worse still, Of being
seen sitting by themselves talking with
no one at ALL They dread talking
with dull people and they dread even
more talking with people so much
cleaverer than they that they them
selves will seem dull.
The clever hostess puts even such
people at their ease, and makes them
glad that they have accepted the in
vitation, and little more ready to
accept the next that they receive
A good rule to follow Is to give the
shy folk and those who are naturally
poor mixers something to do. At a
fairly large party where hostess and
host will have enough to do receiving
XucstS anu super 'ioiil6 Aeh cSHiohI0 ~
Is always convenient to designate some
one of the men master Of ceremonies.
But don't make the mistake Of putting
this job on the shoulders Of the man
who is naturally a good mixer. Choose
a shy man for the job-one Of the
men who didn't want to come.
Ask him when he comes II he viii
help out. Tell him your plans for the
evening If you play cards, tell him
the rules for the playing. the scheme
for progressing etc. Have these rules
written out for his convenience II you
like. Tell him how late you wish to
play before refreshments. He'll prob
ably be fattered and at any rate he
will forget his diffidence in the feeling
that he has something definite to do.
The shy girl may be asked to dis
tribute the tally cards and to collect

How to Keep Up
Clean Curtains
HERE'S an idea for keeping your lace
i L mr. scrin net or swiss curtains

HERE'S an idea for keeping your lace
IL or scrim, net or swiss curtains
clean.
Make one extra pair when you make
the curtains. Then each week or each
two weeks, as necessary, take down
one pair of curtains that are begin
ming to look soiled, and put up the
extra pair instead. Wash the soiled
pair, and have them ready to put up
at another window the next week, or
the second week after. as necessity In
dictates, so that another Soiled pair
NAV be washed.
Thus you always have clean cur
tains, you never have more than one
pair to wash at time. and you don't
have that ugly spectacle of curtain
less house for three or four days while
the curtains are laundering.
The only hitch In this plan Is that
your windows may not all be the same
length. In this case you would have
to have all the curtains made for the
longest window. and then when they
were used on the shorter windows you
could turn over an extra fold and
haste 10 at the top.
Or, you could have two extra pairs,
one for the short windows and one
for the longer ones. Either way would
work out satisfactorily.

We have in mind niddle-aged mother
of two young children. She never
moves from the house. She has so
wrapped herself about with time sched-

temperatures that these have become
the only tangible things in her existence.
Instead of setting the small machines
to a certain rhythm and then trusting
them to hum along through habit, she
feels that she personally must watch
each revolution and sanctify 1t by her
familiar presence.
A very bad thing for the child, by the
way, and undoubtedly narrowing and
mentally suffocating to the mother. To
keep her sense of humor, an invaluable
asset for any mother, she needs outside
contacts and stimulations.
This is one aspect of overemphasis
from the mothers standpoint. The
mother who is penned too close in four
walls, and is too observant of the child S
every move, sees faults which should
be ignored. Straining after perfec-
ton, she makes matters worse instead
Of better. Many of the natural steps
of childhood are bound to be annoying
