Novelties in Guest Cards.
From the New York Sun.

Novelty in menu and guest cards is a
feature of English entertaining Just now.
Ingenuity is taxed to the utmost to pro-
vide original ideas for this detail of table
decoration. tiny floral spray of artificial
flowers, as like as possible to those SPRAYS
seen in china painting is now stuck
through slit In one corner of the guest
card. The flowers may be of any sort, but
must be many-petaled and they must be in
bright colors. They are usually so big as
to fairly cover the card of ordinary d.
mensions. Another notion calls for large
outstanding cards, with their left-hand cor
ner cut out, window-wise, a la Punch
and Judy. Sometimes they rest against
the opening as forming part for an evening
dress concocted with soft materials and
gummed to the card with just a strip left
free for the guests name. This latter idea,
we learn, firts appeared when it became
fashionable to caricature Kruger The
craze has not yet reached this country
neither menu nor guest cards being so
common here as in England. Here indeed
of the very plainest sort, they are regarded
as unnecessary, savoring of the love Of
display characteristic of the new rich.

lips than In her hands was fine rnuff. like
the widdys.
Then Mag, seeing that be slip of the
tongue, she had lost her wish for no more
than two-dolar muf. set up such a cryfn'
and balwin' as We never heard and all the
neighborhood was alarmed She kept on
moanin and sobbin', and l wouldn't tell
why, being ashamed
And in the midst of all this noise up
comes Jimmy, running to see the sight.
And there he saw his sister Mag with
two dollar muff in her hand, cryin' and
bawlin as yet never heard.
What's happened, me darlint?' asked
Jimmy In great worriment. for he loved his
slsther dearly.
'ochone," she cried. it's all your fault,
Jimmy ODea. Many's the time 1 wanted
ye to buy me muff and ye wouldn't

bin.

luck to yer wishes; 1 wish the ould muff
was down yer throat
'Phist. No sooner had the words left his
lips than the muff was in her throat and
she was chokin to death
Then Jimmy was for killing everybody
and cursing his luck for having wasted
one of his wishes so foolishly and he made
up his mind he'd make the most of the
other.
''All this time Mag was gaspin and splut-
And the neighbor, seeing she was dying,
called out Save yer sisther, Jimmy ODea.
,How?" says he.
Wish the muff out of her throat says
they.
Divil Bit he cried, mad enough at
losing one wish.
All this time Mag was graspin' and
splutterin' and chokin.
Save yer sisther.' cried the neighbors
again.
Divil a Bit says Jimmy again.
Then We'll hang We for a murderer
says they, and they laid hands on him.
Stop says Jimmy. I'll save her then
for he loved his sister very dearly. So,
black and red in the face and nearly chok-
in himself with the words stickin' in his
throat, he wished the muff was in the bot
tom of the river.
''Phist! No sooner had the words left
his lips than the muff was out Of Mags
throat and in the bottom of the river"
Condy McMonegal shook the ashes out
of his pipe and slowly reflled it.
Did he ever catch another leprahaun2'
he asked.

NEW YEAR PARTY
WITH THE FLAVOR OF THE OLDEN
TIME.

Written for The Evening Star.
New Year calling Is out of date. but many
women who are enthusiastic over old-time
fashions are striving to revive certain last
century customs. Some of those who are
fond of appearing in last century apparel
will celebrate the incoming of the new
year with costume parties. The historic
pageant given by the New York city
Daughters of the Revolution recently and
chronfcled by newspapers all over the coun-
try proved how becoming the gowns Of his
toric DANES of our own land were and sug-
gested that historic costume reception
attended by men and women representing
the dignitaries of the time Of General and
Mrs. Washington would be one Of the most
delightful methods Of ushering in a new
year.
The New Year reception Of the Presi-
dent of the United States and hi. wife
is to this day the first social event of the
land, and in the stately days when Wash
ington was chief magistrate how much
more important would this great event
have appeared! The first presidential man
sion was at 10 Cherry street. New York
city. The WashingtonS moved into the
mansion in April, 1889, but in the autumn
of 1890 took up their residence in a new
house on Broadway, of the same city,
where the Bowling Green buildings now
consequently IL was the CherrY
street house that the first President and
Mrs. Washington, as was the custom in
those days, were at home to all the world
all day. In the evening they probably en-
tertained their more intimate friends.
The old-fashoned drawing room lighted
by candles and supplied with the rich
mahogany furniture, must have presented
fair picture, for there Were beautiful
and brilliant women as well as gallant and
handsome men in those days Southern
holly and mistletoe probably frightened
the old-fashioned interior, and generous
bowl of punch upon the massive sideboard
in the dining room ministered to the COM
fort of the guests. What is now called
a buffet luQch was served by the New
Year hostesses of the olden times This
consisted of cakes, fruits and sandwiches
of all kinds, to which all helped them
selves.
The Way to Do IL.
To hold a New Year reception a la
George and Martha Washington the draw
ing room should be arranged to look lik-
that of a century ago. Let holly and mis-
tletoe festoon doors and arches and be
massed with pine and hemlock and other
evergreens knotted with cherry-coIored rib
bcns. An evergreen motto, the letters
built on shaped wires and placed in a con-
spicuous position, may wish the guests
"A Happy New Year." while the dates
119o-l902 should appear in close proximity
The best position for the motto Is over
the mantel, because. standing in front of
