Party? Good! Know direction of line for setter's home? (3,6)
I believe the answer is:
dog kennel
'setter's home?' is the definition.
(setter is a type of dog)
'party? good know direction of line' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'party?' could be 'do' (do is a kind of party) and 'do' is located in the answer.
'good' could be 'g' (abbreviation) and 'g' is found within the answer.
'know' could be 'ken' (Scottish term meaning to know) and 'ken' is present in the answer.
'direction' could be 'ne' (NE is an example) and 'ne' is located in the answer.
'line' could be 'l' (used when specifying particular lines from a poem) and 'l' is found within the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for dog kennel that I've seen before include "Labrador's home?" , "Where boxer is found" , "Pet's abode" , "House for pet" .)
