The idea is to determine what book titles are represented by a series of 75 pictures. Cast your eye over that picture in which a woman's hat is shown on a stick.

Suggestions Given at Book lovers' Parties You have no idea how many titles a group of people can work out when they all get to work on the same pictures.

A Booklovers' party is a great benefit to a contestant and, in addition, it is lots of fun for the guests. Call together some of your friends tonight. You may or may not have some refreshments on hand, and you may or may not give prizes. It increases the fun to have some inexpensive prizes a first prize, per haps, and a booby prize. Before your guests arrive have the numbers of the pictures that are troubling you marked down on slips of paper. Give each guest one of the slips, and then pass around the various pictures. Let each guest mark down opposite each number the title he believes that picture rep resents. "When all the guests have filled in their slips each can sign his name at the bottom of his slip, and all the slips will be given to two or three "judges" selected from among the guests. The "judges" will decide which guest has submitted titles that best fit the pictures, and then the prizes will be awarded.
