So you are planning
Well, that entertainment for the
bride that you are planning,
need not be “just another show
er”. It caxi be all the sparkling
elements of a party long to be
remembered by everyone present,
can be distinctly YOUR party,
different from all the
cause of the little
touches you contrived.
If you are planning
others be-

_ to give a
certain kind of shower, then you
are ever so lucky, because you
can work from there in decora
tions, invitations, entertainment,
and all sorts of other novelties.
Let’s take a look at one type
of shower you might give—a
“Blue Monday Shower”. The in

blue cloth and white dishes. A
doll’s clothes basket forms .a
novel centrepiece, and of course,
blue and white flowers are in
keeping. String a miniature
clothesline around the table, with
tiny “clothes” from cardboard
pinned on it. The article from
the line that is in front of each
place could form the place card.
And don’t forget to have minia
ture washtub nut cups with
white mint of marshmallow
“suds”.
Now you might be puzzled
about the games. Well there are
lots of them if you only think
about it awhile. You might like
to try the “Clothespin Drop” in
which each person must drop 12
pins into

“Soap in

There is also a puzzler called
“Soapsuds Golf”. Have each
player print down one side of
the paper “clothespin” and down
the other side “laundry-bag”.
Each player must make up a
word between the letters, and
the person with the least num
ber of letters wins.
Along with the food you had
planned, you might include yel
low sponge cake cut like bars
of laundry soap, grape juice
“blueing” or a dessert topped
with meringue “soapsuds”.
Include The Groom
Have you ever heard

Ask your guest to track down
useful items without which no
household, runs smoothly: pic
ture hooks and wire, thumb
tacks, rubber cement, pencil
sharpener, flashlight, ball of
t-wine, corkscrew, postage stamps
and correspondence cards, shoe
cleaners and shoe
hammer, etc., etc.
As a variation in
routine—and to get
warmed up—let each
on to his wrapped gift and at
the appointed time, issue paper
and pencil, and command him
to sketch in one minute flat, the
individual gadget in use, and
make the bride and groom guess
what before opening the parcel.
For The Bathroom Cabinet
It costs a lot these days to
outfit a bathroom cabinet and a
dressing-table in the manner in
which we are accustomed! There
fore any bride will be delighted
ly grateful for a shower of
soaps, aspirin, face tissues, denti
frice, packaged bandages, bath
sponge, bobby pins, lotions, pow
ders, etc.
If you can beg, borrow, or
swipe a life preserver, let this
be the “container” for the
guest’s gifts. Lay it in the cen
tre of a good-sized table and
heap up the wrapped gifts inside
the circle. Crazy verses dreamed
up by each doner are a natural
for this type of intimate wo
men’s party.
