Some New Year Features.

some New ICdT ESdIuTGSs
While one does not remove all the
Christmas decorations until after the
New Year festivities are past those of
the table may be replaced with lighter
and more delicate garniture. If you
desire to make the day essentially a
young peoples day you may have a
children's dinner party at midday, fol-
lowed by games, shedding, skating or
sleighing parties, according to where
ard how you are situated. Or
you may devote the day to calling and
congratulations among your friends
and wind up with a masquerade dance
in the evening old and young partici-
pating in the fun. There is an old
saying that what you do on New Year
day you will do all the year round.
II this be true, let us see to it that
only joyousness and kindness and
pleasure fill the hours. Let no Wor-
ries or imaginary troubles so much as
cast a shadow in our presence.
a very pretty fancy for table deco
ration for a children'S New Year dinner
party. and one that might be adopted
with slight changes for older people,
was an arrangement of cotton in the
center of the table to represent snow
The soft cotton was pulled apart in
large flakes and placed on the cloth
and over it was placed loosely the thin
sheet of glaze from cotton batting"
to represent the icy crust over the
snow. This was sprinkled with a little
iSinglaSs to give the sparkle. SmilaX
and ground pine gave the green shrub
berry. In the center of the snow mound
was a table mirror. bordered with the
frosted snow, and on the shore of this
miniature lake We're some tiny doll
boys and girls waiting to welcome the
little New Year, who, with rosy face,
golden curls and snug in jacket of fur,
was speeding across the ice on swift
Skates from the land of SHOWS to open
another round year of pleasures and
joys for his subjects. Overhead hung
a bell canopy, covered with sparkling
cotton snow, and sprigs of green, with,
and there was perched saucy sparrow
pecking at the greens and a funny lit
tie Pixie or fairy peeping over the
edge of the bell Inside of the canopy
and out of sight were fairy bells"
with narrow green and white ribbon
attached to each one and reaching to
each name card. When the children
We're seated each took up their ribbon
and all rang a merry welcome to the
New Year. Another peal was rung at
the end of the dinner. The favors
were miniature toys. 1t gave no end
| of pleasure and delight to the little
people. A word of warning is neces-
sary when cotton is used for holiday
decorations. 1t being very easily ig-
nited, there must be no candles or
| lights with unprotected flames used. or
your feast and jollity may have a sad
| ending.
The dishes served We're light and
wholesome. Small birds broled and
| served on rice with chestnut PURGE was
the principal meat dish. The salad
was seeded green grapes candied cher
| ries. bananas and oranges cut in cubes,
mixed with whipped cream and served
in orange baskets. The dessert was a
| ttIsD lieI.G Of course. moulded in
bird and animal shanes. Snail New
| Tear cakes were served and tiny little
cups of dark brown chocolate, but no
| coffee

has been found, but as yet the real
commercial value of this has not been
determined. Natural gas has also
been reported from several sections.
Iron Gre has been found in great
quantities in many of the islands, but
it would appear that this industry
must await the development of the
coal mines before any decisive steps
can be taken. 1t has been suggested
by reliable authorities that with the
abundance of good timber in the is
lands charcoal pig iron might be pro
duced. 1t is doubtful, however,
whether the lignites of the islands can
be used in blast furnaces.
Sulphur exists in abundance in the
.neighborhood of the many extinct vol
canoes, and also a great many sulphur
hot springs abound.
This brief review of the mineral field
of the islnads can but give an idea
of the great hidden stores of mineral
wealth. The islands are unknown and
the surface has not as yet been even
scratched. There can be no doubt that
as soon as chances for profit in these
different minerals that great mining
interests will be developed that will
startle the world.
