 J he Deiinison book of suggestions for the spring holi-

 St. Valentine Entertains 
 
 The conventional color for St. Valentine's Day is red, 
 but the introduction of another color is sometimes charm- 
 ing and if it is a little daring and out of the ordinary it may 
 be just as significant of the day. 
 Why not venture away from the 
 customary colors and combine 
 red with old rose or even use 
 light pink with red.^* 
 
 A table decorated with fringe is 
 most effective and at the same 
 Fringe is cut as described on page 29. The strips are 
 cut and fastened in place, after which the top is finished with loops of crepe 
 paper rope. The lower edge is then cut in rounding points. Festoons and 
 Cut-outs V 223 complete the overhead decoration. 
 
 Three cardboard hearts covered with ruffles attached to large gold arrows 
 make the centerpiece. Heart Cut-out V 223 and Arrows V 241 form the 
 nut cup and the cigar holder is made using Heart and Arrow V 228. A 
 "beating heart" favor is really a penny "cricket" inside a double crepe paper 
 heart. A place card may be attached if desired. 
 
 time easy to arrange.

 A Luncheon Table Gay with Hearts 
 
 Bright red hearts with white and gold wings (Cut-outs V 211) attached to 
 miniature streamers are fastened to the festoon decorations and flutter gaily 
 over this dainty Cupid table. 
 
 The Jack Horner pie is made by fastening very full double ruffles around a 
 foundation of cardboard and a Cupid cut from Decorated Crepe V 461 swings 
 from the handle. The same crepe, V 461, supplies the border around the table. 
 
 Three Cut-outs V 2 13 are pasted around a small serving cup form. 
 
 The shades which are used on the bracket lights at the sides of the room are 
 made of the heart silhouette which is found on Decorated Crepe V 462. The de- 
 sign is cut out and reinforced around the edges with wire or light weight card- 
 board. An asbestos ring is fastened in place and the shade may be made as a 
 screen, or two designs may be pasted together with an opening at the top.

 When Hearts Are Trumps 
 
 Ten days or two weeks before St. Valen- 
 tine's Day the invitations for the card party 
 should be sent out. Daintily printed ones 
 such as V 16 or V 19 may be purchased ready 
 to fdl in, or if something more individual is 
 wanted they may be made from cut-outs, 
 seals or designs printed on crepe paper or 
 napkins. 
 
 To make the invitations 
 pictured Cut-out V 236 is 
 pasted on an elongated 
 heart-shaped card, while the Cupid found on Napkin V 412 
 and Cut-out V 223 give the motif for another attractive 
 design. Real valentines will make appropriate invitations. 
 Valentine Outfit V 3 will furnish material for one dozen 
 valentines. 
 
 The numbering of the tables may be made part of the 
 decoration by using cardboard hearts attached to flag 
 sticks or heavy wire and finished with ruffles of red crepe 
 paper and a Cupid cut from Decorated Crepe Paper V 462. 
 Simple score card folders are decorated with Cut-out V 243, 
 while tiny pencils make an ideal foundation on which to 
 make the "arrow." 
 
 An appropriate prize would be a heart-shaped pendant 
 made of sealing wax decorated with flowers. 
 
 When the refreshments are served the tables are 
 spread with White Table Covers No. 1, to which 
 are pasted Cupids and hearts found on Crepe V 461. 
 
 Heart-shaped bags may contain a tiny cake or 
 a few bon bons.

 Valentine Decorations for Society or Club Banquet 
 
 The long, narrow tables which are almost always used for club or society ban- 
 quets are difficult to arrange in any way that will make them look different. 
 
 If the number of people to be served is not too large, the tables may be arranged 
 to form a hollow square. This arrangement, of course, will permit the seating of 
 only about one-half the number that could be accommodated if places were set 
 on both sides of the table. 
 
 Table Covers V 219 are used on the tables. If for any reason it is not practical 
 to use them, the regular white cloth may be used and one of the designs of deco- 
 rated crepe attached to the inside edge of the tables. The top of the tables should 
 then have a narrow runner design on the top at the inner edge. 
 
 Above each table is hung a large red heart cut from mat stock. The center is 
 cut out and a Cupid V 2.5.3 suspended in the opening, while narrow red streamers 
 from the point of the heart to the corners of the table and pendant hearts complete 
 the decoration. 
 
 Large hearts are suspended from the tops of the posts at the points where the 
 overhead festoons are fastened, and banners brighten the plain wall spaces. 
 
 There are many table accessories which serve at the same time as decorations 
 and favors. Place cards, cut-outs for ices, bon bon boxes, party caps — any of 
 these may be purchased ready for use and will add a bit more color to the deco- 
 rative effect.

 What Cupid 
 Suggests 
 for the Bride 
 
 I'lic 111 1 1< "■ Love God" plays a prominent part in many affairs besides those of 
 St. Valentine's Day. All the suggestions for that day, however, may be carried 
 out with equal appropriateness for engagement announcement, bridal shower or 
 luncheon. 
 
 If an engagement is to be announced, a Cupid and rose bon bon basket at each 
 place hides the interesting Secret between two hearts half concealed among the 
 foliage. The "Old Woman with a Basket" place card, made of Cut-out V 235 
 fastened to a Heart V 223, carries her news tightly folded up and shpped through 
 a slit in her basket. 
 
 For a "shower" nothing can take the place of a parasol. The question of a 
 foundation is something of a problem, but if one is made of heavy wire similar to 
 the diagram, the problem is y,s:,=:^ 
 already solved. Around the ^I^^- 
 
 foundation two rullles are 
 fastened and from the point 
 shower dainty ribbons 
 with flowers or heart s ^ 
 and Cupids attached 
 
 Individual parasol serving 
 cups are easy to make and

 A Banquet for a Patriotic Holiday 
 
 It is surprising how many holidays call for red, white and blue decorations, 
 and in addition to the calendar holidays many affairs conducted by various 
 organizations also demand a patriotic color scheme. 
 
 Almost all of these parties are for a large number of people 
 and to those who are "on the committee" usually falls the work 
 of making favors and putting up the decorations. 
 
 Therefore, they must be effective and at the same time 
 quickly made and easily arranged. 
 
 Tiny cups for holding nuts or candies which have a cover made 
 of a single flower are very simple to make and if red poppies 
 and white daisies alternate at each place and stand on a narrow 
 runner of dark blue a color scheme and a way of presenting a 
 souvenir are achieved at the same time. The flowers may have 
 a pin attached at the back so that they can be easily worn when 
 leaving the table. 
 
 Similar effect may be gained by using the flowers made on 
 spiral stems to stand at each place. The stem may be easily 
 straightened out after the banquet and the flower adorn the 
 buttonhole. They may also help to identify those entitled to dance or 
 o enter the entertainment hall. 
 
 Metal rim or a plain round tag strung with fine red crepe 
 paper rope or a narrow red, white and blue ribbon numbered 
 on one side and decorated with a patriotic seal on the other, 
 will often be just what is needed for affairs of this sort, act- 
 ing both as admission ticket and souvenir.

 Centerpieces and Decorations for Patriotic Days 
 
 The tree stump with its hatchet and 
 cherries is typically a centerpiece for 
 Washington's Birthday and may be 
 made more attractive if surrounded by red, white and blue ruffles. 
 
 A unique napkin holder is obtained by fastening two Hatchets P 262 together 
 with Seals P 430 and slipping a tightly rolled cherry design napkin between the 
 two handles. 
 
 A menu or score card folder carries a 
 Seal P 557 in the center of the top, while 
 two Flags P 27 1 fly gaily on either side. 
 
 Page eight 
 
 The log cabin is a most appropriate design 
 for Lincoln's Birthday. Brown crepe paper is 
 rolled to resemble the logs which make both 
 the centerpiece and nut cup. Lincoln Seals 
 P 611 used on score or place card will help to 
 carry out the spirit of the day. 
 
 Suitable for any patriotic hoUday is the red, 
 white and blue basket. The lower part is cov- 
 ered with dark blue and white ruflles, while red 
 poppies, white daisies and a large red bow 
 complete this colorful basket which may have 
 small favors attached to narrow ribbons con- 
 cealed in its fluffy depths. 
 
 Miniature baskets, too, of similar design 
 and color made on serving cup forms, will com- 
 plete a wonderfully attractive table decoration.

 The Glorious Fourth 
 
 The Fourth of July would be indeed a dull day without 
 sports, games, gay parades and parties. 
 
 "Johnnie Firecracker" himself furnishes the theme for the 
 table decoration shown. Red mat stock, crepe paper and 
 wire are the materials from which he is made. 
 
 Smaller "Johnnies" are performing all kinds of funny antics 
 perched on the nut cups, and lollypops with firecracker hats 
 make favors which also serve as place cards. Around the table 
 Decorated Crepe Paper P 2.5 is used, the field with its stars at 
 the top and the red strips cut in pennant shape flying below it. 
 
 We nmst all be children in spirit on this day, so favors for 
 the children can be used for the grown-ups as well. Small fans 
 of cardboard made in star shape and covered with red, white 
 and blue crepe paper will be acceptable for the girls, and the 
 boys, big and little, can have fun with tricolor pin wheels 
 attached to clothes pins. 
 
 Another way to use a lollypop is in the shape of a fire- 
 cracker candy box. It is very simple to make as is also the 
 star serving cup. The serving cup form is covered with 
 ruffles of red, white and blue. A star made of mat stock cov- 
 ered with silver paper which has the center cut out is slipped 
 up and fastened in place just below the flaring ruflles.

 A Shamrock Table 
 
 :%^ 
 
 St. Patrick's Day, March 17, brings an entirely different thought in both 
 color scheme and design. Shamrock green and white always make a pleasing 
 decoration, while the shamrocks themselves, gold harps, Irish lads and las- 
 sies in typical costumes furnish the foundation around which many attractive 
 decorations are built. 
 
 For the table use a plain white paper table cover and across it place run- 
 ners made of Green Crepe Paper No. 43 and cut into shamrock leaves at the 
 ends. 
 
 The centerpiece or Jack Horner pie is made of gathered ruffles over a 
 cardboard foundation. A wire handle is bent in the shape of a shamrock leaf 
 and decorated with Cut-outs S 271, to which are pasted faces painted on white 
 cardboard discs. 
 
 The nut cups are made in similar design and Seal S 602 
 supplies the shamrock and face for the handle. I;T 
 
 A napkin holder of unusual design is made of a piece of 
 green mat stock eight inches by three inches. It is scored ^ 
 and bent, then Cut-outs S 288 and S 289 are pasted one on 
 either side. The holder is then ready for the tightly rolled f 
 napkins. ^ -■ - 
 
 Page ten 
 
*/ei44i4^ CMO^ Gala Boo K^_ 
 
 Over the chandelier is a soft fringe of green crepe paper to which Cut-outs 
 S 270 and S 271 are fastened at irregular intervals. 
 
 The candle shade, which is made on a triangular foundation of cardboard, 
 carries out the same effect as the chandelier and may be either green or white. 
 
 Another centerpiece which is as attractive as the one shown on the table 
 is in the form of a shamrock bed. Funny plump lad and lassie flirt with 
 each other over its top. 
 
 Over a round foundation of cardboard are pasted rows of twisted green 
 petals and the figures and large shamrock are 
 cut from Decorated Crepe S 655 reinforced 
 with heavy wire and fastened in place. 
 
 To complete the table decoration is a 
 "Paddy" favor whose head is a lolly pop and 
 his legs and arms candy sticks. In place of 
 the favor a bon bon cup may be used. A 
 pretty serving cup which also serves as a place 
 card is made by covering a plain form with a 
 double ruffle of green crepe paper, standing it 
 on one end of a plain white card. A Cut-out 
 S 289 is made to stand at the other end. 
 
 The hostess at a St. Patrick's Day luncheon 
 or party will be adorable arrayed in the sham- 
 rock slip-over costume illustrated. Plain 
 green crepe cut in pointed scallops which are 
 reinforced with wire on the lower edge and 
 finished with shamrocks cut from Crepe Paper 
 S 655 makes the skirt, while white and green 
 paper and the figures found on the decorated 
 crepe are used for both waist and the cap with 
 its jaunty shamrock.

 Bunnies and Chicks Hold Easter Frolic 
 
 Bunnies and rabbits on a see-saw serve as a decorative note wliich will 
 be a source of great delight to little folks, and can be used just as well at 
 any time of year as at Easter time. Pink, yellow, lavender or light blue may 
 be the principal color used. 
 
 The cardboard foundation of the "see-saw" itself is covered with crushed 
 crepe paper and the animals cut from Decorated Crepe E 728 are reinforced 
 with heavy wire and fastened in place. 
 
 The same design may be carried out in miniature for the nut cups, the 
 figures on them being cut from Napkins E 706. Chicken and rabbit cut-outs 
 fastened to the side of a simple ruffled cup will also please little tots, and the 
 napkin holder which uses the same figures will prove amusing. 
 
 When the table itself is spread with the table cover, napkins and paper 
 plates found in the Children's Party Set C 198, and the see-saw, candy, bas- 
 kets and napkin holders are put in place, there is nothing left to be desired. 
 
 A new and attractive way of decorating Easter eggs is to paint them with 
 sealing wax. 
 
 The entire egg may be colored, or flowers and other designs may be painted 
 directly on the shell. 
 
 One brightly colored egg in a "nest" of crepe paper moss at each place at 
 the table will be hailed with delight.

 "April Showers Bring May Flowers 
 
 Spring brings many flowers which suggest themselves as table decorations 
 for an Easter luncheon. For the hostess who does not care to use tuhps, 
 jonquils or narcissus there is something quite different, but even she cannot 
 be sure until the very day of her party what the color scheme will be. 
 
 Barometer flowers are the secret of this uncertainty and should the day be 
 fair the color will be blue, a stormy day will produce pink, while unsettled 
 weather will cause the flowers to be lavender. 
 
 The table decorations may well combine these three colors. The flower 
 boxes have for the foundations plain white boxes. They are decorated with 
 strips of black passe-partout binding and flowers cut from Napkin No. 280. 
 The color scheme is further emphasized by strings of vari-colored blossoms 
 around the edge of the table and two-color nut cups. The flower cups are 
 made one pink and one blue with a "bow" connecting them. 
 
 In addition to the flower place card, boutonniere bouquets 
 of flowers made in pastel shades would be attractive. 
 
 The flowers with which the boxes are filled and those used 
 for the individual favor place cards are made of white crepe 
 paper which has been treated with a chemical solution which 
 will make the paper change color under varying atmospheric 
 conditions. Attached to the stem of each place card flower 
 should be this verse: 
 
 'THE BAROMETER" 
 6 h M Keep this near the window pane. 
 
 * '■ '» When PINK 'tis a sign of storm or rain. 
 
 When the wind's in doubt as to how to blow 
 
 The LAVENDER color it then will show. 
 
 But when the skies are clear and bright 
 
 You'll find the color BLUE all right. 
 
 The formula for mnking Ike barometer liquid and 
 directions for its use will be sent on request by address- 
 ing the Seniice Bureau at any of the Dennison Stores.

 Things Are Not What They Seem 
 
 On April First. A few simple ways to "fool" your guests will cause many a 
 laugh. An appropriate invitation for a party which falls on this date may be 
 made by pasting the jesters which are printed on Napkin 
 No. 1022 in the corner of correspondence cards. The wording will 
 "fool" the recipient if it is printed backwards. This may be 
 done by hand or on the typewriter. If the typewriter is used a 
 sheet of plain paper should be on top, next the invitation face 
 down, and then a sheet of carbon paper face up. 
 
 The liveliest jokes can be used at the table, where 
 all sorts of surprises in the way of edibles may be 
 introduced. 
 
 The first surprise will be when the guests unfold 
 their napkins only to find that they are only skele- 
 tons of napkins. 
 
 Next sandwiches are passed (made of crepe paper) 
 
 and the "filling" is found to be another, but this 
 
 time a whole napkin. 
 
 Before the next course the hostess announces that there 
 
 are conundrums to be answered and paper and pencils are 
 
 passed. The pencils are made of small wooden flag sticks 
 
 sharpened at one end and the point dipped in black ink. 
 
 The plain part of the pencil should be wrapped with crepe 
 
 paper; gray paper and gold paper will make a perfect 
 
 eraser. 
 
 A place card made of April Fool candy and wire and a 
 candy tree also made of April Fool candy will complete the 
 table decorations. 
 
 The food which is served should look as unlike what it 
 really is as possible, and if soup looks like ice cream and 
 the last course like the first course so much the better. Iced 
 bouillon may be served in tall sher- 
 bet glasses with a cherry on top. 
 Other things may be easily disguised 
 in the same way and ice cream sand- 
 wiches be the last course. 
 >,^i— ^ Balls of confetti made to resemble 
 
 ffl \\ clowns are attractive favors for a 
 
 . ' / I dance. Confetti Balls No. 12 are the 
 
 foundations and a 
 ruffle of crepe paper 
 and a fool's cap are 
 all that are needed 
 after a face has been 
 painted on the ball.

 Let's Go A-Maying 
 
 The old English custom of observing May Day is becoming more widespread 
 every year. 
 
 May baskets such as those illustrated, daintily decorated and filled with sweets 
 are hung on doors while their giver runs and hides before being discovered. 
 
 The most important feature of a real May Party is the selection and crowning 
 of the May queen. She is chosen from all the maidens of the town as the most 
 beautiful and she presides over all the dances and sports. The May pole 
 must be braided by children in dainty costumes, while fancy dances, contests 
 in archery and other games of \'*^ skill complete the entertainment. 
 
 A May pole may be 
 used as a centerpiece for 
 a May luncheon. Set in 
 the center of the table 
 with dainty ribbons to 
 each place it will prove 
 charming. 
 
 
 
 Small dolls dressed in 
 fancy costumes, each one 
 holding the end of a rib- 
 bon, will make a favor 
 which will delight each 
 card tied to 
 allow it to 
 ce card.

 The Balcony in Patriotic Dress 
 
 A decoration which is adaptable to many color schemes and which may be 
 used in a number of different ways. Decorated crepe, streamers and large cut- 
 outs combine to make a decorative unit which will be equally effective as a wall 
 decoration across the front or back of a stage, for the upper part of a booth, or 
 for the background of a store window. 
 
 How the Hall is Made Festive 
 
 Although the hall illustrated on the preceding pages is decorated for St. Valentine's 
 Day, the same idea may be carried out for any other holiday. 
 
 Festoons and streamers always help to achieve a desired color effect, while too much 
 cannot be said in favor of crepe paper moss as a decorative material. Thrown over 
 natural branches or wires and allowed to hang irregularly, bright spots of color can be 
 easily made. 
 
 The cost of materials for the decoration illustrated will be about $25. This cost would 
 vary somewhat according to the size of the hall, the number of windows and the wall 
 spaces which were to be decorated.

 Favors for the Dancing Party 
 
 The idea of having favors as a 
 means of matching partners is one 
 which will add to the gaiety of any 
 dance. The matching may be done 
 in several different ways; the favors 
 may match in design or color or may 
 be mated by the use of duplicate 
 numbers if the party is too large to 
 make any other method practical. 
 
 The "daisy necklace" has for its 
 center a small round mirror and 
 around it are pasted the daisy 
 petals. The corresponding favor 
 may be a daisy boutonniere. 
 Daisies may be made of other colors 
 besides white. The color of the 
 necklace and boutonniere match. 
 
 Flower regalia are worn by both 
 ladies and gentlemen; there should 
 be two of each color. 
 
 The gay "jazz" bracelet, with its 
 jangling bells and bright colored 
 streamers, matches the gentleman's 
 collar. 
 
 A red, white and blue wand finds 
 a corresponding note in the badge 
 of the same colors. 
 
 Hats and crowns are always pop- 
 ular and may be made in an endless 
 variety of styles. Two of each color 
 or style will prove attractive. 
 
 Any of the hats illustrated on 
 pages 22 and 23 as part of the cos- 
 tumes may be used separately for 
 favors. They may be made exactly 
 as pictured or simplified so that they 
 will be easy to make in large 
 quantities. ^

 Costumes for Many Gay Parties 
 
 Bright green streamers and tiny shamrocks trans- 
 form a simple white frock into a gay costume. If the 
 party were on St. Valentine's Day, red hearts and 
 Cupids would be needed. 
 
 If a patriotic note must be sounded, Eagle and Flag 
 Crepe P 557 combined with red, white and blue will 
 make a charming slip-over, or red, white and blue can 
 be used in about the same way but producing a very 
 different effect as shown in costume No. 5. 
 
 An easily made shp-over for a 
 man's costume is made of red with 
 many hearts for decoration. 
 
 Double ruffles of emerald green 
 and white rolled on the edges will 
 be very different and easy to accom- 
 pHsh. The large shamrock which 
 trims the hat also has the rolled edge. 
 
 page twenty-two 
 
®/C/ii/ii/k) on^ Gala Boo k^_ 
 
 A tiny child or a grown-up will be equally attractive 
 dressed in a slip-over topped with a huge ruffled heart. 
 The pointed hat carries out the "clown" idea. 
 
 "Baby Valentine" is very sweet in her dainty pink 
 and white dress. The valentine itself can be made 
 elaborate or simple as occasion requires, and even a big 
 girl can wear a costume made in just the same style. 
 
 Double ruffles of Decorated Crepe S 656 and fine 
 green fringe will be an attractive partner for the artist 
 in his green shamrock smock. 
 
 A wired hoop with pendant 
 pompons of red, white and blue 
 makes a very chic costume which 
 vies in attractiveness with the 
 valentine costume with quaint 
 panniers at the sides. 
 
 A list of materials required for 
 each of the costumes pictured 
 will be found on page 25.

 Each Holiday in Its Own 
 Special Attire 
 
 The church supper, club tea, bazaar or 
 entertainment which is to be held at any time 
 from early in January until after the Fourth 
 of July cannot help being near the date of 
 some holiday and this gives an opportunity 
 for special decorations. 
 
 Who would not enjoy her tea more if it 
 were served by charming "Miss Valentine"? 
 
 The slip-over apron, trimmed with red 
 hearts, can be made just as attractive if 
 trimmed with shamrocks and green ribbons 
 or with shields and gay tricolored streamers. 
 A simpler apron with "Cupids and lovers" 
 is made by combining Decorated Crepe V 462 
 with plain white. This apron also can be 
 made with other symbols and color combina- 
 tions. 
 
 Suggestive of the hoUday are Uncle Sam's 
 hat and Miss Columbia's cap. For either of 
 
 these Decorated Crepe P 25 is 
 
 used. Black mat stock makes 
 
 the foundation for both George 
 
 Washington's tricornered hat 
 
 and "Paddy's" tall hat. 
 
 Martha Washington's mob 
 
 cap and the Irish colleen's 
 
 bonnet are made just alike, 
 
 except that the Irish bonnet 
 
 has a ruffle which should be 
 
 shorter in front and graduated 
 
 to a deeper ruffle at the back. 
 An emerald green bow 
 
 and band will make its 
 
 ownership a subject of no 
 
 doubt.

 Costume Description 
 
 Most costumes are made over a muslin foundation and the crepe paper sewed 
 or pasted directly to it as seems best. 
 
 For this kind of costume regular dress patterns are sometimes used, but they 
 are not often necessary. The paper may be sewed by hand or on the sewing 
 machine. 
 
 The slip-over costume is a style which is very popular, perhaps because it is 
 nmch less work than a complete dress. It is what its name implies, and is worn 
 over any simple frock, preferably a white one, although a colored one may be 
 used to carry out some particular scheme. 
 
 The foundation of the shp-over costume is a full width of crepe paper of suffi- 
 cient length to reach from shoulder to bottom of skirt both front and back. To 
 this foundation are attached ruffles, streamers or cut-out designs. 
 
 There are many variations possible for this type of costume. Often a costume 
 for a man may be in the form of a slip-over. This permits the wearing of the regu- 
 lar suit and if desirable the "costume" may indeed be "slipped over" and in a 
 jiffy Mr. Man appears in conventional evening dress. 
 
 Any of the costumes illustrated may be easily adapted to another holiday by 
 the use of appropriate colors and designs.

 Games for Gala Gatherings 
 
 One of the hardest questions to decide is what games to have at a party. 
 If the first two or three are appropriate to the holiday on which the party 
 is given, the rest may be just "good fun" regardless of the holiday. 
 
 A good game to start the evening's fun, particularly if the group is large 
 and not well acquainted with one another, is: 
 
 Gossip 
 
 A circle is formed with one or two people in the center. It is their object to get 
 out, and to keep them from doing so the people in the circle must know the name, 
 occupation and some piece of gossip about both of his neighbors. At a signal 
 from the leader each one in the center points to some person and asks him to 
 give the required information about both his neighbors. If he fails he goes into 
 the center. The "gossip" as it is given originally by one's self may be made up 
 for the occasion and be very amusing. At the conmiand "Change your neigh- 
 bors," all change places and this is also an opportunity for those inside the circle 
 to get out into the circle itself. 
 
 This game should be played but a few minutes, just long enough for all to learn 
 the names of the others. 
 
 Is Your Aim as True as Cupid's? 
 
 Whether each girl in the party is to be married or remain 
 single can be proven by her ability to "shoot" Cupid's arrow 
 through a wedding ring. 
 
 Attach a plain ring to a string and suspend it at a height 
 of about five feet. Each contestant is asked to stand at a 
 distance of ten feet and point a pencil at the center of the 
 ring. She must then walk rapidly toward the ring and try to 
 put the pencil through it. 
 
 The same position which was assumed when the aim was 
 taken must be rigidly held. "Feathers " of bright red mat stock 
 may be attached to the tops of the pencils, and if the pencils 
 themselves are red they will make attractive favors. 
 
 Potato Race 
 
 Each player is to balance a potato (the rounder 
 the better) on the end of a yardstick. 
 
 The stick is to be held so that the hands do not 
 reach beyond the first six inches at the very most. 
 
 A prize is awarded to the one who first reaches 
 the goal without dropping the potato. 
 
 Love Is But a Bubble 
 
 Suspend a large red heart from the chandelier so 
 that it will be about a foot above the heads of the 
 players. A bowl of soapy water is provided, also a 
 clay pipe for each player. 
 
 Standing four or five feet away each one in turn, 
 for a given number of turns, blows a bubble and 
 tries to float it so that it will hit the heart. 
 
 A prize is given the most successful. 
 
 Page twenty-six 
 
/C4i4i/i^ oi lb Gala Boo K^ 
 
 Cupid's Art Gallery 
 
 Give each guest a piece of white cotton cloth, five inches by eight inches, with 
 the name of one of the following subjects typewritten at the top. 
 Cupid The Love Nest 
 
 The Ideal Lover The Proposal 
 
 A needle threaded with black silkateen is also given to each one. The "pic- 
 tures" are to be made with outlines of black thread. 
 
 At the end of fifteen minutes they are collected, the various kinds separated 
 and each group pinned up on strings in different parts of the room, where they are 
 judged. The judging should be done by two or 
 three people, and their comments on style and 
 technique will add to the fun. 
 
 There should be a prize for each group of subjects. 
 
 This game may be easily adapted to other holi- 
 days by changing the subjects of the pictures. 
 
 Eggshell Race 
 
 The contents of eggs are blown out of the shells 
 and each one colored differently. Each contestant 
 is given a colored egg and a small fan. The egg- 
 shells must be fanned to a given point and back to 
 the starting point. **^^5=^ 
 
 Green Conundrums 
 
 Small cards decorated with shamrock seals should have written on them these 
 conundrums to be answered with words containing "green": 
 
 L A variety of plum 
 
 2. A raw youth 
 
 3. A retailer of fresli vegetables 
 
 4. Part of a theater 
 
 5. Death to insects 
 
 6. Almost always fatal 
 
 1. Greengage I. Greenroom 
 
 2. Greenhorn 5. Paris green 
 
 3. Greengrocer 6. Gangrene 
 
 7. Kind of apple 
 
 8. Kind of shrub 
 
 9. A country 
 
 10. A place where plants are kept 
 
 11. Turf with grass 
 
 12. Mountains in New England 
 
 7. Greening 10. Greenhouse 
 
 8. Greenbrier 11. Greensward 
 
 9. Greenland 12. Green Mountains 
 
 This Is My Nose 
 
 (A Good April Fool Game) 
 The leader says, "This is my nose," but 
 points to her knee. At the same time she 
 points with her other hand to someone in the 
 group. The one to whom she has pointed 
 must point to his knee and say, "This is my 
 nose" before the leader can count ten. The 
 leader continues pointing to various parts 
 of the body and calling by the name of some other part. Those who do not 
 answer correctly or before the leader counts ten must drop out. 
 
 Costumes 
 
 Prepare a collection of various materials such as folds of crepe paper, both plain 
 colors and decorated designs, ribbons, hats, pins, scissors, and any other materials 
 from which costumes might be made. Assign partners and give fifteen minutes 
 in which each couple shall make a costume for either one or the other. The cos- 
 tumes may be all one kind, "Cupid" for instance, or to each may be assigned dif- 
 ferent months of the year, different nations or historical characters.

 Features for Dances and Parties 
 
 While favors are often used as a means of matching partners, there are often 
 times when a simpler way is preferable. 
 
 A Bluebird Flight 
 
 For an Easter Dance or a May Party a pretty feature may be introduced, but 
 it can be used successfully only in a hall which has a balcony from which the birds 
 may fly. 
 
 A small numbered card with a bluebird seal attached is given to each girl. At 
 a signal, bluebirds cut from Decorated Crepe 331 which have been mounted on 
 cardboard or reinforced with wire and also numbered are tossed from the bal- 
 cony; as they flutter down the boys try to catch them and find the girl with the 
 corresponding number. Butterfly seals and butterfly design crepe may be used 
 in the same way. 
 
 Cupid's Heart Tree 
 
 An attractive decorative note which may 
 also be used for matching partners is" Cupid's 
 Heart Tree." Two bushes may be made and 
 stood one on either side of the stage, or one 
 will answer if the hearts for the ladies and 
 gentlemen are different colors. A real shrub 
 or branch of a tree may be used, or the 
 "Bush" may be made of crepe paper and 
 wire. When natural branches are used they 
 should be stripped of their leaves and those 
 made of crepe paper used. Two hearts about 
 two inches in diameter made of heavy colored 
 paper or light weight cardboard should be 
 pasted together all the way around except at 
 the top, and the end of a twig slipped be- 
 tween the two. Each heart is numbered and 
 at a given signal the ladies pick the hearts 
 from one tree and the gentlemen pick theirs 
 from the other. The numbers on the two 
 trees should match. When one tree is used, 
 the hearts should be two different colors. 
 
 A Picnic Luncheon 
 
 This will be great fun as an unusual way of serving refreshments at a social. 
 Each girl is to bring a decorated basket containing luncheon for two people. 
 
 Just before the refreshments are to be served chairs should be arranged around 
 the room in groups of four or eight. Above each group is fastened a card with the 
 name of some local summer resort, spelled with misplaced letters, such as Yocen 
 Isandl (Coney Island), etc. Cards are given to each guest, who has five to ten 
 minutes to guess the names of the places. 
 
 The baskets in the meanwhile have had numbers attached to their handles and 
 when the guessing contest is over the owners of baskets with number one attached 
 are to picnic at Coney Island, aU those with nmnber two at Atlantic City, etc. 
 
 The baskets may then be auctioned off to the men, who find the original owner 
 of each basket. They then proceed to their picnic place and join the rest of the 
 group.

 General Instructions for Using 
 Dennison Crepe Paper 
 
 Before starting to work have all materials and tools handy, — scissors, hammer, 
 pins, tacks, paste and wire. 
 
 Work for effect. Do not putter over details. Get the general decoration fin- 
 ished, then if time permits, give fine touches. 
 
 Remember that decorations must come down and use very small tacks and 
 drive in only part way. 
 
 Wire is better than string for attaching decorations. Two twists hold when 
 string would be apt to slip and be hard to tie. 
 
 Crepe paper is almost always stretched a little before 
 using. This should be done by two people, one at either 
 end of the paper. First, double the end over once or twice, 
 or, better still, roll it over a ruler or stick so that it will not 
 tear and then pull steadily until it is sufficiently stretched. 
 
 To cut a strip of crepe paper, slip it part way from the 
 packet, measure the desired width and, using the edge of 
 the packet as a guide, cut through the entire thickness. 
 (Illustration No. 1.) Illus. No. l 
 
 To make rows of petals or scallops, cut the paper the correct width through the 
 entire fold, unfold and starting with the two ends together, redouble until there 
 are eight thicknesses, cut the paper through all thicknesses, leaving two or three 
 inches at the top uncut. Then unfold. 
 
 To make fluted edge, hold the edge of the crepe 
 paper between the thumbs and forefingers, then 
 push away with the left thumb and pull forward 
 with the right forefinger. Move the crepe a bit and 
 repeat until the whole strip is fluted. Fluting may 
 sometimes be done to several thicknesses of crepe 
 Illus. No. 2 paper at one time. (Illustration No. 2.) 
 
 Frimjed crepe. For decorative purposes almost all fringe is cut across the grain 
 of the paper. Strips of fringe 20 inches long and any depth up to the whole ten 
 feet of the fold may be made. Unfold, stretch, and cut off pieces the required 
 depth for the fringe. Fold the lower edge up to within an inch of the top. Re- 
 double several times, then beginning at the right-hand edge, cut the fringe as 
 fine as desired, cutting through all the thicknesses but leaving the 1-inch heading 
 uncut. Shake out and stretch, then even off. 
 Use as many thicknesses as necessary to give 
 the right effect. (Illustration No. 3.) ^^\iv 
 
 Illus. No. 3 
 
 To wrap wire. Cut a strip of crepe paper 
 across the grain through the entire fold from 
 ^2 inch to 2 inches wide, according to the size 
 and length of the wire to be wrapped. Put a 
 little paste on the end of the wire and wind the 
 strip around two or three times very tightly, 
 then holding the wire in the right hand, twirl it round and round. At the same 
 time, with the left hand, guide the paper, slanting it down and stretching it so 
 that it will wrap the wire smoothly. When the end of the wire is reached, cut off 
 the paper and fasten the end with jj^ste.
