Recipe For Reception la George and
Martha.
BY ALFRED TENNYSON

Martha.
To hold New Years reception a la
George and Martha Washington the
drawing room should be arranged to
look like that of a century ago. Let
holly and mistletoe festoon doors and
arches and be massed with pine and
hemlock and other evergreens knotted
with cherry colored ribbons.
The gowns and headdresses of the
ladies invited to attend may be copied
from old fashioned prints or reproduc-
tons of portraits Of historic bellies.
The old brocades. the powdered hair
and complexion patches will transform
the appearance of modern beaus and
bellies ine manner truly wonderful.
A few lines penciled on the face will
aid in suggesting the appearance of
the Individual whose personality is to
be at liberty to select the character
most pleasing to himself or herself.
OF course this choice should preclude
the characters of Washington and his
wife, which belong to the host and
the hostess. If they have son and
daughter. Jack and Nelly Gusts should
be represented by their son and daugh-
ter.
The minuet will. of course, be the
first dance, and 1t should be led by the
host and hostess In the costumes of
Washington and his wife. If other
than buffet refreshments are served,
the host takes to the dining room the
most distinguished lady present-that
is, the one whose position in the So
ciety of the tine represented was most
important. The hostess takes the most
distinguished gentleman to the dining
room. The selection, of course. will
be largely Influenced by personal feel
ing.
In the center Of the dining room ia
BILE a handsome decoration represent
ing a chime of bells bearing aloft
silver star and the figures denoting the
date of the new year should be placed
on bank of green or of flowers. Rib
bon streamers, red. white and blue,
should extend to the edge of the sup
per table, where waxen cherubs, such
as are made for decorations on the top
of Christmas tree, perch among the
little cluster of flowers intended as
souvenirs for guests. A knot of red.
white and blue ribbon should tie the
flowers intended for the ladies'. If in
dividual menus are prepared each may
be given a personal significance by
being inscribed with a verse relative
TO the flight of time. Any dictionary

slowing Presents.
The custom of making New Years
gifts has gone completely out of vogue
among the people of the United States,
with the exception perhaps of the very
wealthy, who can afford to give on all
occasions.
In France New Years day, or LIE
Jour d'Etrennes literally. day of gifts,
is the greatest day of the whole year.
All France buys itself poor. The men
are supposed to give bonbons and fiow-
ers to every lady upon whom they
call, and Jan. 2 finds women sick from
eating sweetmeats and men sick from
spending more than they could well
afford, but the average Frenchman be-
lieves in the old observation that 1t is
'all in a lifetime" or, according to
our vernacular, that christmas (New

Romans and from them taken up by
the Britons.
