An Old Mother Goose Progressive Euchre Party

A number of quaintly, but exquisitely hand-painted cards should be provided in place of the usual ribbon favors, and each guest selects a card at random. At the upper right hand corner of each card should be a picture illustrating in an original way the idea conveyed by one or two lines from Old Mother Goose's nursery rhymes. The cards intended for the gentlemen should have the first line or lines of the rhymes and those for the ladies contain the concluding lines of the verses. For instance, on one card, intended for a gentleman guest, should be written the important information that "Tommy Snooks and Bessie Brooks went walking on a Sunday." and the figures of "Tommy" and "Bessie," true to life, depicted in the opposite corner. The card which matches this one contains the sequel to the story: "Said Tommy Snooks to Bessie Brooks, to-morrow will be Monday." The accompanying picture expresses the pleasure with which "Bessie" receives the information vouchsafed by "Tommy." The gentlemen find their partners by matching the quotations on the cards.
