NOVEL IDEAS FOR PARTIES.

It is not often that a year-old infant is invited- to any social function, but the suggestion for a babies' party which an American magazine niakes sounds as 'though' it would'be delightful both for the babies, and their mothers. Though- such a young affair; it should bo with all formality and the 'invitations sent ■ out would bo as follow:— ~, "

...... Margaret.Mason ..' . ~ . and her; mother . . request tho pleasure; of ■ ' Alice Lawrence's .... ' " /and. her mother's. company ' • . at; luncheon on Tuesday,, etc. « : ' ..- '... ' Miss Mason ■!: requestsVtho pleasurp/' . of Alice . Lawrence's, . .* ; and her mother's-company . at, luncheon, etc.,' . . to. celebrate the first birthday of Mary Mason. Decorate the table with a birthday cako in the'middle with; the initials of the baby's . narr.o and the dates made on the frosting, \ and have one candle burning in it. Have the_ high chairs for the babies between the chairs for. the; mothers, and havo at each 'baby's place some toy for a souvenir; ,or a pretty idea would be ,to'have for each baby ! » sniall photograph of ; tho little hostess; protf tily framed, and for tho mothers have little . boxes of candy,'with* the date and initials of the baby painted pn.them with gold paint. Serve for the babies' bread and milk in bowls

and somo hard biscuits, and, perhaps, junlict, \ which .willbe suitable. For thomothers serve a simple menu of broiled chicken and potatoes and: French pease, a salad, and a dessert of any/kind—orange jelly ih-scooped-out: oranges'.with , whipped cream is very nice.' -■ . ■
