Twelfth Night" which comes on the
sixth In olden days the celebration
of Christmas lasted until this date. or,
as II was called, "old Christmas"
when the Lord of Misrule." whose
reign began on Christmas eve, ended
with the burning of all the Christmas
greens. This was done to propitiate
the evil spirits, who might otherwise
modest the household. This will give
the alert hostess the keynote for an
impromptu party.
What an opportunity for an oyster
supper after the bonfire, with piping
hot cheese sandwiches made in a
chatting dish. There must be a "mys-
terry" cake. too. According to tradi-
ton. 1t should contain two beans. The
ones getting these symbols of favor
are to be crowned king and queen and
for the remainder of the evening
their word is law.
The hostess has an ideal chance in
this to plan a series of delightful sur
piistS W We iti 'h'
ing subjects. One good stunt is to
command certain couples (congenial,
of course, that goes without saylng)
to discuss great and weighty subjects,
such as. Should n Woman Propose?"
GLOW Much Pin Money Should a
Wife Have?" AN Ideal Way to Spend
a Honeymoon" etc. In 10 minutes n
report is to be made to the royal pair,
who in the interim from affairs of
state will manage to have an enjoy
able tete-a-tete themselves. If bon
fire in the open is not practical. let us
hole there will at least be crate
available for the burning of the
greens. A rule is that each person
makes wish while his or her armful

cellent opportunity for stunt party.

thing-sing song, tell story or in
