A “Blarney” party will furnish more kinds of fun on St, Patrick’s day than almost anything else a hostess can invent. And it can be an impromptu affair arranged by tele- phone at a late hour, or it can be made the frame- work for the most elaborate and ex- pensive of entertainments. The one necessity is, of course, a Blarney stone of some kind; gray lin- en or silk or canton flannel wrapped around the dictionary has ‘been known to answer the purpose to everybody's satisfaction, Ireland’s original Blarney stone is set in the wall of the castle, where it can be kissed only by a person held in a perilous position over the para- pet. But tourists who go to Blarney castle are usually taken to a stone at the summit of the tower. Therefore the Blarney stone at a party may be painted on the attic chimney, or it may ‘be set high up in a room, to be reached only by the per- ilous ascent of a kitchen step ladder. as soon as they enter the house. They must not even address their hostess until this ceremony has been accom- plished. And thereafter flattery is the order of the evening. He who speaks moderately, or who by any mischance happens to tell the truth, is subject to a fine. Last year, one hostess provided a prison for the truthtellers. This was a snake's den, a room in the basement | draped with green cheesecloth and lavishly decorated with Japanese pa- per serpents of assorted sizes, In this room was a punch bow! presided over by St. Patrick himself, who also turned prophet and told the fortunes of his prisoners. Eventually this cave prov- ed more popular than the parlor, and even the most successful of the falsi- fiers were compelled to tell the truth in order that they might join the gay party in the cellar. Among games to amuse adults as ‘well as children are: Potato race, drawing a pig while blindfolded, soap bubble stunt with clay pipes, living pictures of Irish ‘beauties, a county fair, where each guest is required to sing, dance, or recite an Irish poem, There is no end to the novelties the shops provide to help the St. Pat- rick’s day hostess. Even the donkeys and pigs are green this year. ofr course, if there is any kind of a music ‘box in the house, the hostess will see that it is well supplied with Irish rec- ors.
