Here are sets of the most original and amusing little favors that will enable the hostess properly to "mix" her guests at an entertainment, or to assign partners at dinners, dances, card parties or other functions.

They consist of reproductions of the quaint illustrations from Professor Wood's two mirthful books, How TO TELL THE BIRDS FROM THE FLOWERS and ANIMAL ANALOGUES. There are, in all, sixteen pairs of subjects, each pair printed on bristol-board, scored for parting by the hostess, each corded so that it may be worn as a tally-card or favor. Thus, if one fair guest draws " The Parrot," her partner will be the man who has drawn "The Carrot"; the man who draws "The Ole Gander" must look for a partner who has drawn "The Oleander." And so they run, "The Puss" taking "The Octo-pus," "The Bunny" taking "The Tunny," "The Pecan" taking "The Toucan" and "The Pansy" taking "The Chim-pansy." The series comprises an assortment of sixteen subjefts or pairs, making thirty-two individual tally- cards, providing for the entertainment of thirty-two guests without duplicates. Any desired number of pairs will be supplied, and up to sixteen pairs without duplicates. Each pair, 4 cents net. DOGGEREL DODGERS.
