Fifty Social Evenings by Annie E. Smiley - First Edition, 1894 Japanese ceramics This pieceSo much fun! Published by the Central Office of the Epworth League (a Methodist young adult association formed in Cleveland in 1889) Fifty Social Evenings was written to help the league's department of social work in their efforts "to make league socials bright, entertaining and instructive." Happily, the fifty games and themes detailed possess a wonderful weirdness and specificity that makes for great reading and imagining, if not actual execution.
