Art of :^-^.

Foreword

THE importance of play is now a recognized factor in the education of our children, and the social side of life must not be forgotten, nor the observance of special days and customs, which add zest and fascination to any party or entertainment.

What to do and how to do it, is a problem which confionts every mother, teacher, club-woman and guildvvorker, as well as young people who are both in and out of school.

So the many requests for another *^ Dame Curtsey " book is granted by this compilation which has been garnered from magazine clippings, from newspapers and friends; some are original, and all, I am sure, will prove helpful in the art of entertaining.

E. H. G.
