FINDS A SCRAPBOOK HANDY

Girl Whose Entertainments Are Always Looked forward to With Pleasure Tells Her Secret A girl who is quite noted among her friends as a successful hostess says It is not just chance, it’s due to her method. This is how she does it: “People sometimes wonder,” she writes, “why it is that the boys and girls always like to have our club meet at our house. We have such good times, and I think it is because we do- not waste time sitting around and wondering what form of amusement we will h>ve tonight This is the way I manage to have plenty of suggestions for games and other sorts of-amusements on hand.' In the newspapers there are always a lot of suggestions for games of all kinds and articles telling how other people have entertained in clever ways. I have cut these articles out and pasted them In an ordinary notebook, classifying them as well as I could, as to whether they were games, g\i easing contests or just merely clever ways to entertain. Then whenever the club comes to my house I can turn to this book, and in a few minutes get a suggestion for that evening’s entertainment, and if the game we start first does not seem to go well, there is very little trouble to consult the book again and find something to take its place.” «
