It is part of the Ladies' Home Journal Girls Library.

The book is divided into two parts, the first part focusing on games and the second part on parties. Included is a section on light refreshments for evening company by Mrs. S.T. Rorer. In the first part, Mrs. Mott provides detailed instructions on how to organize and play a variety of indoor and outdoor games, including card games, board games, parlor games, and outdoor sports. The games are suitable for all ages and skill levels, and the instructions are easy to follow.

Throughout the book, Mrs. Mott emphasizes the importance of good manners and proper etiquette, stressing that a successful party or game night depends on the host's ability to make guests feel welcome and comfortable.

This book is one of those things from over 125 years ago. We're selling to reduce the size and scope of our collection because the kids don't want it.Please see my other listings including other antique/rare books, currency, vintage pottery and memorabilia.Thanks for looking.
