a TWELFTH NIGHT SUPPER.
Of snssOld Custom-Choosing .
@lf Ixtn~ p,,d SSnen. az Festivities.

-
Revival Of snasOld Cnstom--ChoosinE q
King md Queen OF Festivities.
The old custom OF celebrating
Twelfth night january ~ IS again
being revived and makes q pleasing
novelty in the way of entertainments
for the New Year nays the New fork
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-5
tie white beans they should first be
soaked in water oye night, strung
while wet, usiEg aFfine needle, then put
away for a day, when they will again
become dry and hard. The supper may
be simple or elaborate. as the hostess
wishes. but the table should be ighte
with candles and the Twelfth cake CIV
en- the most conspicuous place. To
avoid confusion have the cake iced In
two colors, white and pink or white
and chocolate, the men taking the slices
Of color, the ladies of the other.
When baking the cake, place a IN
one side and a pea in the other. Stuck
a straw in beside each one, tying a coli
ored thread around one straw so that
no mistakes will be made. The man
who 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 q mock court Is held,
when the king and queen receive the
homage of the company. At one end of
the room have a platform on which are
two chairs. Here the king and queen
must be crowned With appropriate GER
emory, 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 a scepter, which
can be a 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 eac guest should be
given a card showing who he is to i'm.
p%ersonate. Each card, cut and painted
to represent d 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 II the name. with a brief
introduction. Social representations
will greatly add to the merriment.
The cards designating the places at
the supper table might be painted with
Il cake, a row of candles or a string OF
peas and beans.

IN NEW AMSTERDAM.


Sew Years with hi Dutch scttlers-Love
of Their Homes.
When our Dutch ancestors debarkeds
from the Half Moon in the harbor of.
Manhattan, it was the year 1914. And
hey brought with them from their

religious intolerance which distin-5

denounced by their Yankee %neighbors
as q goddess crew but 1t is now plain.
that they loved their homes n fam.
lies, they forgave their enemies and
they famed to flame the spark of ma
tional honor which they possessed.
When Peter S%tuyvesant came to New
Amsterdam as governor in 1647, he was
quickly DUBBED "Old Silverleg" because
he was q veteran who had given a leg,
to the cause Of his country and re-
placed 1t with a substantial wooden one
bound with silver. Although Governor
Stuyyesant was a harsh n cruel man,
all accounts agree that he was a good
ruler, but in 1864 day then a Brit
fish fleet appeared off the coast of New
Amsterdam and demanded its surren-
der "Old Silverleg" a forced to
yield, his people refusing to fight. So
the British. took possession of the ISL
n of Manhattan and christened 1t
New York, the same being the egg
from which Is matched that Greater
New York which today stands forth
the second city in the world.
But what did our Dutch ancestors do
to distinguish themselves? Well, they
kept Christmas and New Years day,
both of which We're frowned upon by
the Massachusetts Puritans. On New
Years morning the Dutch burgher
would start forth from his OWL door
and visit his neighbors. collecting all
the money due him from the solvent
debtors and forgiving the insolvent
ones. and, having drunk numberless
mugs of punch with the solvent and
insolvent alike, he returned to his

Text Book Uniformity.

Supt. Doyne has rendered the follow ing opinion as to the adoption of text books by special school districts under the county uniformity law: Accord ing to section 7046, Sandals X Hills digest, directors are required to adopt a series of textbooks for a period of three years. This applies to the special school district as we'll as to the com mon school district. However, the pas sage of the county uniformity bill re- peals this section as applied to the con- mon school districts, and also, as ap- piled to the special school districts of the counties voting in favor of uni formity, if the latter wish to take ad- vantage of section 10 of said act. In this case the adoption can be made at any time after the county textbook commissioners have selected books, re- pardless of former adoption by special school districts, and extends over the period covered by the county uniform ity act. In case the special school dis tricts do not care to take advantage of section 10 referred to above, they are still held to the provision contained in section 7046 of the school law"
