When supper is served, have the table decorated with a plant standing in the centre, and from this to each corner of the table have a row of Noah's Ark trees, which can be purchased at any toy shop. Stand one of these on each of the plates as they are passed to the guests. They will make very attractive souvenirs of the occasion.
TROLLEY PARTY
The guests invited to our trolley party were twenty in number. When all had assembled, cards with pencils attached were given them, after which the hostess announced that the trip would take half an hour, that the conductor would ring his bell for start and finish, but that the guests must prove their familiarity with the names of the streets, which were represented on cards scattered through the rooms—pinned to curtains, table-covers, pincushions, etc. Carnations were given to the one guessing correctly the greatest number of streets, a tiny bank and a new penny to the one having the least.
The cards were as follows:
A Trolley Ride—St. Louis to Kirkwood
- Abraham's wife.
- What idols' feet are often made of.
- Stop here when hungry.
- Always owns a goose.
- Dear to our hearts though sometimes a "Rip."
- Brought lightning from the clouds.
- A part of a door and what doors are usually made of.
- A sombre color.
- Of cherry-tree fame.
- A direction of the compass and a preacher.
- The side of a tiny stream.
- One of the discoverers of Pike's Peak.
- A great turn.
- Associated with the lower regions.
- The highest point.
- What most housewives do on Monday.
- A famous summer resort.
- What the preacher who lisped said to the sinner.
- Green, and dear to girlish hearts.
- Makes a quick fire.
The names of the streets represented were:
- Sarah.
- Clay.
- Berry Road.
- Taylor.

This same idea could be carried out in connection with the streets of any other town.
