For Parties
AP Newsfeatures

You have entertained at lunch,
dinner and tea, but have you ever
thought of having a small group
of friends in for Sunday morning
breakfast?
Experts at the College of Home
Economics at Cornell university
suggest that you set an hour thai
allows time for all the guests to ar.
rive conveniently. The finishing
touches can be put on after the
group arrives. Make it a casual
occasion for which guests may
dress as they please and where
they may have the fun of helping
to prepare the meal.
Another party idea is to have
an old fashioned "box social tt
which each lady brings box pack
ed with tasty supper for two
Then auction off the boxes, and
the guest who packed the lunch
dimes with the gentleman who puc.
chased it. This is an excellent lice
breaker" for a group. The money
earned can be given to the Rec
Cross.
Another perennial favorite is g
popcorn party, particularly if you
have a fireplace and can pop thu
corn over the Goals. Have a big
dishpan res dy to receive the
popped corn, with individual bowls
for the guests. Provide cider OF
milk to drink and a boWlful oil
shining red apples and nuts o I
munching. Informal dancing with
phonograph music, or a song-fest
makes friendly gathering a vel
come affair indeed informally is
the keynote of the times when ev.
eryone needs inexpensive relaxa-
ton and recreation to keep in good
mental and physical health.
When the club can't find time to
play afternoon bridge, invite them

eryone to bring something to mend
or sew.
