About this book
This book provides the hostess with ideas for parties and games. There are five sections: Socials and Parties, Outdoor Affairs, Birthdays and Other Anniversaries, Announcements and Showers, and Weddings, and within each section are subcategories. Mostly antiquated, being written in the era of WWI, they do provide guidance to what was "normal" back at the turn of the century. - Summary by Lynda Marie Neilson
