Party Planning a New
Trade for Women
The "Party Lady" Finds Ar
rangement of Children's
Entertainments Lucrative.
There Is ai least one oocupatlon for
women that Is Interesting, profltable and
not overerowded--at least, not in New
York. lt Is the glvlng of children's
portlea, whlch means taklng entlre ^harge
of them and rellevlng the mothers of all
IrouMa and responsiblllt.'. The young
woninn who orlglnat.'l the scheme ls as
yet the onlv person !n the buslness Sh<*
dcveloped lt after conslderable rXpert
ence ln arrnn^'lng nmat,-ur theatrleals for
chlldren, an.l wlth seycral y4-r.rB* work
to her credlt ahe has proved ihat as a
pr ifaSSBBB for a woman wlth Ideas and
plenty of them the arrnni-rlng of these
portlea for little people Is both pleasant
and p.-ofltable. In other words, Miss Ar
vllla Howe, of No. 128 Ma4llson avenue,
hns lnvenfe<i anri pursues an origlnal
trndo whlch snpports hej-self and Interests
many.
Ovar thlrty dlfferent klnds of party are
on BOT list, each wBh its own speclal
favors, decoratlona and gameB, and they
have been given up and down Fifth ave?
nue for |he chlldren of mllllonalres, as
w4?11 as in less pretentiouB quarters of the
ilty. la the suburbs anil at country
housea. Miss Howe arranges all sorts and
conditions of partles, and her servlcea
are not necessarlly a luxury to be
monopolized by the very rlch.
These very rlch folk, by the way, Inslst
moat frequently on the note of simpliclty
ln thelr children's entertainments, and
although the "party lady," as the chll
4lren call her, may go to no end of trouble
and expense. the general effeot of many
of the Flfth avenue partles ls that of
simpliclty rather than of extravagance.
Contrary to the popular impresslon, the
chlldren of the ultra rlch, among the real
people, lnstead of being tired, bored, llt?
tla men and women of the world, are real?
ly kept hard at work wlth thelr studles
and are amused ln aimple waya. As a
result these chlldren enjoy th?lr oppor
tunitles for entertalnment and play quite
as much as chlldren who are not born
wlth the proverblal golden spoon In their
moutha.
The "party lady" has her regular pa
trons, mothers of klddtes at whose blrth
day partles she offlclates every year.
These blrthday partl.-s vary in chaxacter
wlth the season of the year. and lf near
any partlcuiar hollday are llkely to aa
sumo the chararter of that day, for the
flrst tlme, at leaat. After that, of coiirse,
the fityle of the party ls changed, unlesa
the chlldren llke the Idea of the enter?
talnment so much that they ask to have
It repeated, whlch occaslonally happene.
In addltion to the regular hollday af?
fairs, Chrlstmaa, Thanksglvlng, Wash
Ington's Blrthday, Ht. Valentlne's Day,
Fourth fjf July, May Dav and HaUowaen,
there are (lower, fairy, butterfiy and anl?
mal partles and an unllmlted number of
ebaraeter entertainments patterned ln I
decoratlons and games after the eustorns
of varlous countrles. There are Chlneae,
Japanese, Dutch and Mexhan partles, all
of them wlth abundnnt posslblllties for
plcturesque esTeetS and of m4>re or less
educatlonal value.
Besldes her r-gular blrthday engaB***
ments, for whlch the dates gtm always
I roserved, there ls an slmost contlnuous
1 sucoesslon 4>f paiti-s to be arranged all
| through the Wlnter season. That doesnt
mean a party every few days, not by any
means, for many of them requlre two
we.-ks or more Of hard work ln prepara
tlon, although there ls 4><-casionally a
! harry call for a party tliat must be pr<
pared toi ln onlv a ilay or two The
"party iady' baa decidedly orlglnal Idea*
aii to favora aad gamaa und as tha for
ni.-i can rarebr h.- porehased to smt tha
scheme, she designs an.l makes almost
all of tli-m herseif Her patrOBa rrallze
thls, and In planrilng for their chlldrene
partloa mothers arrange them not only
accordlng to thelr own aud the chlldren s
.-ne.ioi-m.nts. but wlth regard to h?r
availabla tlme.
Tha 4l.it.- having been determlned upon.
the partlcuiar form of party is usually
left to ber seb-ctlon, unlaaa tliere ls a
reaaon for bavlna e apedal eutertalnment
of aoBM son. ghe ls given the number of
guests and as ;, Small it.'in of Bocial
Btatlstlcs she says that practically all
Of the gti'-sts invited to juvenlle partles
must b..- prepared for, as they are Bure
to come?then she doctdee on Ihe char
acter of the party, the style of decora?
tlons and favors. submitB a plan and an
estimate of the cost to the mother and.
when these are approved, goes on wlth
the preparatlons.
On the day of the party she bundles
all of the favors Into a taxicab and ar
rlves at the house hwking llke a very
modern edition of Santa Claus. If the'
table decoratlons are elaborate she usu?
ally attenda to them earller ln the day.
At any rate, on the arrival of the first
small guest, at 3 o'clock or thereabouts,
Bhe ls reauy to recelve wlth the Uttle
hoat or hoBtess; then as soon as all the
guests have come?and there are few late
anivals at a children's party--th? games
begln, and the fun doesn't lag for one'
minute untll 6 o'clock, when the affair I*',
BCbeduled to break up. The little chll?
dren of the rlch are just as easlly enter-,
tained as those who are supposed to have'
fcwer pleasures, and Just as lngenuoua. ]
and there is alwaya the usual proportloivj
of bashful ones who are not forced into!
the games rlght at the start. On the con
trary, they are left alone. ignored ln
fact, and after a few mlnutes aa spec
tators they forget themselves and bave
ju.a- as b-autlful a t.me as any of the
other chlldren.
Many of thi game* are plannsd so that
speclal costumes are necessary, and thes??4
are deslgned and made by the "party
lady" and teke the place of favors, al-,
though ahe keeps a number of property,
costumes on hand that can be uaed when
ever requlred. There are sets of butter-.
fly wlllga and fairy caps and waods and!
(lower <lr?-8ses that have done duty at!
more than one gathering of the most!
youthful members ,>f New York society,
but the rostims* seem to please the chll?
dren more than any other favors, and for
many of the partles there are speclally
deslgned hatn or caps, pretty little aprons
or gay colored cloaks. that not only add
to the plcttiresqueness, hut give unllm-|
ited pleasure to the guests, for the love
Of dresslng up Is as deep rooted en Flfth;;
avenue as lt 1s on th- Kast Slde.
