Emily Rose Burt was the author of: Entertaining Made Easy (1919), Speaker and Recitations for all Occasions (1924), Make Your Bazar Pay (1925), Planning Your Party (1927) and The Shower Book (1928). "Because it's different, it isn't necessarily hard to prepare-there are lots of novelties in decoration, amusement and "eats" that are perfectly simple and inexpensive. They are what help to make entertaining easy, in fact. And just at this point you see comes in the reason for the writing of this little book. "
