LITERARY PEOPLE

Write the questions on red cards and the answers on white. Have each question and answer numbered in succession. Let the gentlemen select the red and the ladies the white cards, and when the gentlemen read the questions, let the ladies read the answers. This is also a good way to match partners for refreshments.

MEASURING PARTY

The giving of such a party is a pleasing way of raising money for some charitable object.

The invitations should read somewhat like the following:

You are cordially invited to attend a Measuring Party to be given by the East End Connett Y. W. C. T. U. at the home of the President, Mrs. Herbert B. Linscott, Monday evening, October 29th, 1905.

Below, this verse should be printed:

A measuring party we give for you,

'Tis something pleasant as well as new.
