On Their Hubbies.
Owing to illness and bcrcavcments
during the year in the families repre-
scntcd by the membership of the
Tuesday Reading Circle the annual
iccdfest of New Year Eve this year
had simmer attendance than in
other years. But those who did at
tend determined not to let dull care
sit at the feast with them, or mar
with what they could not mend. Their
motto seemed to be:
Outside the door let sorrow lie,
And ii by cold he hap to die
Well bury him in a New Year pie
And for a night be merry.
The role of hostess fell to Mrs. S.
w. Crcssy this year, and she did the
honors graciously and Hospitality.
The house was thrown open from
marched but but and marched ben
ben" at their sweet will. Each of the
ladies of the Circle contributed of
their culinary art to the banquet
spread: and it was nothing less than
a swell affair. II any of the bubbles"
detected a reminiscent flavor OF home
production in the bill OF fare nobody
would suspect il from their appctites.
The two large dining tables were set
with the best from the china closets,
and beautifully decorated with flower
ing plants. Large sprays OF fresh cut
poinsctta that added much to the
brightness were the customary con-
tribution annually made the occasion
by that charter member" of the Cir
Gle now resident in southern Califor-
nia-Mrs. w. J. Irvine. The first
course was minced pine apple, fresh.

with fixin's and after this the salad
ices and cake. Gard and pencil were
beside each plate and everybody was
invited to formulate their New Year
resolution The usual variety of pie
crust promises were adduccd. De-
tails are unnecessary. The significant
thing was that nobody resolved to re-
frain from further victuals during
1909.
But i, was after the banquet that
the chief trouble began. The tables
being cleared the ladies brought on
most motley assortment of antcde-
luvian hat shapes and an,iquated trim
mings Each husband was furnished
one long necdlcful of thread and Civ
en- 30 minutes in which to trim hat.
He picked his own shape" and was
limited to a choice of four dccora-
tions and one piece OF ribbon. The
results were simply stunning. The
hats had to be worn by the milliners.
