A fWelfrH NIGHT SUPPER.
Revival of nm Old Custom~-choosing
King and Queen OF Festivities.

King and Queen OF Festfvftfes.
The old custom OF celebrating
Twelfth night Jan. 81 is again being
revived and makes a pleasing novelty
In the way OF entertainments for the
New Year, says the New York Post.
As this is the festival OF the bean
king beans should be largely used In
the decorations. In the dining room
festoons Of them might hang from the
chandelier TO the table. To use the lit
tie white beans they should first be
soaked In water overnight, strung while
wet, using fine needle, then put away
for day, when they will again become
dry and hard The supper may be SIM
pie or elaborate. as the hostess wishes,
but the table should be lighted with
candles and the Twelfth cake given the
most conspicuous place. To avoid con-
fusion have the cake iced in two colors,
white and pink or white and chocolate,
the men taking the slices OF one color,
the ladies Of the other When baking
the cake, place bean in one side and
pea in the other. Stick straw In
beside each one, tying co!lred thread
around one straw so that 40 mistakes
will be made. The man VINO finds the
bean In his piece Of cake will be the
king. while the queen will be the lady
who holds the pea.
After supper a mock court is held,
when the king and queen receive the
homage Of the company. At one end
OF the room have platform on which
are two chairs. Here the king and
queen must be crowned with appropri-
ate ceremony. placing upon their heads
crowns Of cardboard covered with gilt
paper and having beads and spangles
sewed on Very effective additions are
! long capes OF muslin trimmed with
broad borders OF ermine canton fan
mel marked with black paint. The
king should also hold scepter. which
can be short, round stick or cane COW
cred with gilt paper.
When the coronation is over and the
| king and queen are seated upon their
| throne. the court should be presented.
Previous TO this each guest should be
given a card showing who he is TO i'm
personate. Each card. cut and painted
! to represent bean, bears the name of
a historical or fictitious character or,
what is more interesting. that OF some
celebrity Of the present day. The her
aid. with n great flourish of his trum-
pet. will call out the name. with brief
Introduction. Social representations
will greatly add to the merriment.
The cards designating the places AT
the supper table might be painted with
a cake, row Of candles or a string OF
peas and beans.
