Greetings for the New Year

Child of eternity. child OF the silence.
Fair New Year.
Wise with the wisdom saSes have left
thee,
Bend thine ear:
Lift up the veil that covers thy features,
Strange New Year,
Rainbow a promise over the darkness.
Lest we fear
Bury our yesterdays, foolish and empty
Fathoms deep;
Leaving the mound unmarked. INTENDED.
Where they sleep.
Then shall the morrows find us valiant.
Scoring fear
Meeting thy glance with glance un-
daunted,
Glad New Year!
This charming welcome to the New
Year was written some time ago by
Ellen Burns Sherman. May we all
meet this first day of 1911 with cour-
age and confidence, forgetting all the
sadness and sorrow, remembering only
the Joy and gladness in the days that
are past.
We all need to forget It is an art
much in need of cultivation, especially
In our social life To be a gracious
hostess, to keep our entertainment
simple to extend true hospitality is
an end and aim worthy Of all, Madame

Tea In the British Embassy.

Hot bread is served instead of cold
sandwiches at the afternoon teas in
the British embassy in Washington.
Mrs. Brice has set new fashion in
this respect. Steaming milk toast and
sweet mullins are always part of the
tea in the embassy. Then comes rich
plum cake or golden pound cake.
Countess Won Bernstorff, wife of the
German ambassador, serves her coffee
in dull chased brass on hammered
brass tables. Her cups are ~ dull
gold porcelain and all the utensils are
of gold. The coffee is "a Ia Turque,"
that IS, the grain Is pulverized and
spoonful IS stirred into each cup with
boiling water. Then the sugar and
cream arc added. Cheese sticks and
honey cakes are tasty with coffee. fol.

Twelfth Nioht Party.

The 9th of January is Twelfth
Night" or old Christmas and offers
opportunities for party out of the
usual order. In England and many
places on the continent Twelfth Night
was the time to hold the most ela5or.
ate masque balls.
An immense cake was always served
containing a ring, and the king or
queen" for the evening was the guest
fortunate enough to obtain It. In his.
tory we read how Mary, Queen OF
Scots, honored her maid, Mary Seaton'
by robing her in her own royal ap-
parel to be the Queen of Twelfth
Night"
Tradition says that on this night
every vestige of Christmas green must
be taken down and burned. This
peace offering to witches and evil spir-
its assures good luck to the house
hold throughout the year.
Invitations for a Sixth Of January
party afford a chance for the pen and
ink artist to show her skill; witches,
bon1res with holly wreaths and Christ
mas trees for fuel are appropriate sub
iects for the cards. II there Is no open
fireplace for the burning of the green's,
there may be a back yard even to the
city apartment. whore they may be
burned with due ceremony.
A chatting dish supper or oyster
roast. with coffee and cider not for
getting the cake, are most suitable for
Twelfth Night parties Half the fun
is to permit the guests to take down
the green's from pictures and windows,
even to stripping the Christmas tree Of
its branches. The cracking fire caused
by the pine tree boughs gives line
blaze for roasting marshmallows. Re
quest each guest to tell story or give
a toast while his or her special armful
is burning.

a New Years Party.

All over the world New Years day
Is a Joyous season and the custom Of
giving presents is most ancient one
In olden days the Romans carried gifts
Of dates and figs wrapped in gold leaf
10 their senators with small bits Of
money. In the time of Shakespeare
there we're some very odd gifts assoc
ciated with New Years day, among
them. an orange stuffed with cloves,
Or a gilt nutmeg Perhaps with this in
mind a clever young hostess has de-
vised this party to be given during the
week. The Christmas greens will be
left up as it will be before the 9Th
