NEW YEAR PARTY?
from Mrs. J. r., Ednor, Md
I would like some suggestions on
planning q New Year party, for
around 10 couples.
usually have friends In then,
but every time 1t ends up with the
men playing cards and the women
talking among themselves. This is
not my idea OF q party, and I would
appreciate any help your readers
might give me.
Some. of the couples dance, but
most of them don't.
