A JOLLY HALLOWE'EN PARTY
The problem of providing suitable entertainment for one's
informal parties is something which has perplexed many a host and
hostess in recent years. How often has it happened that just when
you had gotten your guests nicely seated around the parlor
listening to the Caruso record, some ill-mannered fellow would
remark, "Oh, Lord--let's go over to the Tom Phillips' and get
something to drink." How many times in the past have you prepared
original little "get-together" games, such as Carol Kennicott did
in Main Street, only to find that, when you again turned the
lights on, half the company had disappeared for the evening.
Of course we cannot all be as startlingly clever as Carol, but
Hallowe'en, which comes this year on October 31st, offers a
splendid opportunity for originality and "peppy" fun. The
following suggestions are presented to ambitious hostesses with
the absolute guaranty that no matter what other reactions her
guests may have, they will certainly not be bored.

Few people realize the value of picture post-cards as indicators
of the birth, breeding, and character of the sender, yet nothing
so definitely "places" a person socially as his choice of these
souvenirs. Could you have selected the senders of the above
cards?}

In spite of his haughty airs and fine clothes, the gentleman
betrays that he is not much accustomed to good society when,
having been asked by his hostess if he would care to remove his
coat and waistcoat during the warm evening of bridge, he, in
doing so, reveals the presence of several useful cards hidden
about his person.
