PARTY SUGGESTIONS.

IRON Mrs. w. Il. {, HydttSutlte.J
To Mrs. F. P P. Washington, who
asks for some party suggestions: An
Indoor Treasure Hunt is some
thing l have used very successfully
quite few times when l have enter
tanned. The idea is to place around
the room, in inconspicuous places, a
variety of small objects-I usually
use about 20. You don't actually hide
the things. For example, place
thlmble on the knob atop a door
hinge; stick a sewing needle in a
picture frame; paper clip on a fold
of drapery. There are any number
of place to put things, place dollar
bill around book on the shelf so
that just the picture of Washington
shows, an aspirin tablet can be laid
on something white, etc. To start the
hunt, the guests are given lists of
the objects to be located and work
in pairs. Any novel way of pairing
off the guests can be used When
they spy an object, they keep mum"
about it to the other teams but
write on their list where the object
is, and continue until the time limit
is up. Allow about 20 minutes. A
prize of package of life-savers or
gum, etc, is given to the team find
ing the most objects.

DEATH MEETING THE NAN
SERVANT.
From Mrs. J. E. r., Mount Rainier,
Md
To Mrs. L. H., Cupeper, Va: The
story of Death Meeting the Manser-
want in the market place is one of
my husbands favorites. 1t is quo
tation on the title page Of the book
Appointment in Samarra, by John
o Hara, published in 1884 by Har-
court, Brace & Co.. Inc The quota
ton on the title page appears in
"Sheppy,' a play by w. Somerset
Vaughan. which was published in
the fall of 1884 by Doubleday, Doran
& Co. Appointment in Samarra"
may be purchased in the Penguin
Books for 25 cents at most drug
stores or variety stores. This edition
also contains the Somerset Maui
CHAM quotation from which the title
of O'Hara S book was taken. l am in
closing the entire quotation which
We consider well worth its space
Death Speaks: There was a mer-
chant in Bagdad who sent his serv-
ant to market to buy provisions and
in little while the servant came
back, white and trembling and said:
Master, just now when l was in the
market-place I was jostled by
woman in the crowd and when l
turned, saw that it was Death that
lostled me. She looked at me and
made a threatening gesture; now.
lend me your horse and 1 will ride
away from the city to avoid my fate
will go to Samarra and there
Death will not find me" The mer-
chant lent him his horse. and the
servant mounted it and he dug his
spurs in its flankS and as fast as the
horse could gallop, he went. Then
the merchant went down to the
market-place and he saw me stand
ing in the crowd and he came to me
and said, Why did you make a
threatening gesture to my servant
when you saw him this morning?'
That was not threatening gesture,
l said it was only a start of sur
prise I was astonished to see him in
Bagdad. for I had an appointment
with him tonight in Samarra."

tude influences him, If you rush,
he'll get excited, too. If you're

housewife of six months, that your
page is just wonderful. So much
of it is of no use to me now, but will
be someday and 1 treasure all the
suggestions.
To Mrs. H. A. Br. of Chevy Chase
may l suggest as I've always done
to get large scrapbook or small
ito suit your needs and clip what
ever articles you think you may
want to look back on, paste it or
clip it in your book. When you're
done, you'll find you've a valuable
collection that you can show friends
and perhaps help them, too. You'll
do away with having to go back
through countless magazines to find
one certain idea, and then, too, you
won't have nearly so much to save,
thus you Il have less junk and more
space. I've done this since I was
in college and have helped people
in house plans, needle work, etc. It's
fun besides the pride you take in it.

III Per Cent Recovery
In WAA Surplus Sales
PIeases House Group
By Don S. Warren

Favorable comments. we're made
today by the House Surplus Property
Committee when an ofilciAl Of the
War Assets Administration reported
4 Al per cent gross return to the
Government from site" sales OF
leftover war goods.
Robert NJ. Field, acting associate
administrator OF WAA, submitted
figures showing that from March
through November OF this year sur
plus goods that cost the Government
9434 .000, 900 were sold at site sales
over the country for 4178 ,000, 900
When Mr.. Field started presenta-
tion of his data he said the per-
centage Of recovery for the period
March through June was 81 PEI
cent. 1t was brought out, however
that this percentage dealt only
with Is site sales where $2e .000, ,000
worth of goods was sold for tlS,815,-
900.
Percentage Likely to FAN.
Mr.. Field explained that the num-
Der OF sales later was stepped up
greatly and that as the more de-
sirable goods in short supply were
sold the percentage Of return de-
clined. He thought 1t would con-
tinue to decline.
A recommendation that receipts
from the sales OF all left-oyer war
goods be applied directly" to re-
ducing the Federal debt is expect
ed to come from the committee.
Now winding up five months Of
hearings on surplus sales problems
the investigating group will begin
drafting its conclusions next week
It already has Indicated, however
it viii favor direct debt reduction
since the war goods were paid fol
out OF bond sales.
Current Use Opposed.
Chairman Slaughter has declared
for this reason. the money recovered
from sales OF the surplus goods
should not be left in the Treasury
for possible use in meeting current
expenditures.
Final hearings here today and to-
morrow were to be devoted to ex-
animation of what new policies
had been invoked In the last six
months to speed and improve the
disposal of the mountainous piles
Of surplus materials. A key witness
tomorrow will be War Assets Ad-
ministrator Robert M. Littlejohn.
