TUNES TO GUST T|CKLERS
New Years Eve Committee
Plans Sane Celebration.
FOUR BANDS WILL PLAY
Popular Hymns Sung by Big
Choruses in Public Squares
Provide Feature.

Tickers and tin horns and the usual
midnight revelry are no longer to be the
sole order OF things on the night Of De-
cember 81 in New York II tho New Years
Eve Committee succeeds in carrying out
its programme. which IT confidently ex~
poets 10 do.
Nothing will stop us except rain" said
Jacob A. Riis, who started the movement
for a sane New Years Eve. yesterday.
Not even a snowstorm Will stop U.s."
he said.
He was also sure that the committees
plan to have singing In the public squares
would set a new fashion In New Year 8
celebration which would convince the
world that New York was not ready to
hand over either the old year, with it's
cares and regrets or the new year. with
It's hopes. to mere revelry.
On the City Hall steps. in Madison
Square and at Herald Square on this
coming New Years Eve choruses OF
fifteen hundred voices, made up OF church
choirs and members OF singing societies,
will sing hymns and Christmas songs from
II o'clock until the break OF the New
Year. There will also be four mighty,
overwhelming bands" to use Mr.. Riis' 8
own words, which will help 10 drown cut
the barbaric din along the Great White
Way.
According TO the programme arranged
by the committee, the tin horn brigade
will have TO struggle against the big
bands at Il o'clock, when they will begin
and play for half an hour. Then the
singing OF the monster chors will begin.
Mr. Riis believes that large part Of the
throng Will Join IN, and the hymns have
been chosen with a view 10 this, being
simple and non-sectarian.
They are az follows: Battle Hymn Of
the Republic Guide Ne, 0 Thou
Great Jehovah" go God, our Help in
Ages Past" Nearer. Ny God, TO Thee"
After the midnight hour strikes the
cholrs Will sing Aud Lang Syne.' Mr..
Riis said he hoped TO be able 10 get four
troopers who would sound taps" after
which the crowd would be invited to sing
America and then dIsperse.
At Madison Square the Christmas tree
used in the outdoor Christmas Eve cele-
bration will be relighted by the Edison
company.
The committee still needs $50. Mr.. Car
negie and Robert Bacon have each given
$40. and Mr.. Rockefeller sent 500. Twelve
hundred dollars I'm all has been subscribed,

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES DAY.

BREAKFAST - Japanese persimmons.

breakfast buns, coffee, with whipped
cream.
DINNER-Raw oysters, cream Of celery
soup. roast goose, bread stuffing; crystal
lized apples, glazed sweet potatoes,
mashed winter squash. white endive

vanilla coupe. marzipan, coffee.
CHATTING DISH SUPPER-Frfed oys-

walnut cake, tea.
JAPANESE PERSIMSIoN.-This fruit
is especially good with unsweetened
cream, whipped or not, as preferred. The
cream mobiles the cloying sweetness OF
this fruit, and by modifying its saccha-
rlne element the true flavor OF the fruit
becomes more pronounced.
CRYSTALLIZED APPLES.-Put peeled.
cored and quartered apples into an earth
en- baking dish. Sprinkle them lightly
with sugar and bake them all day, close
ly covered, or until they are a dark, rich
red and almost as clear as crystal Do
not add much water-just enough 10 pre-
vent them from burning. IL the apples
are not very tart add grated lemon rind.
GLAZED SWEET POTATOES.-Bou
them till tender, then roll them in melted
butter and sprinkle lightly with sugar.
Bake them in very hot oven until they
are covered with a brown coat.
FRENCH ENDIVE AND WATER
CRESS SALAD.-The white, uncurled
endive, known as French enoive. 10
much more delicate than the ordinary
curly endive, and not so bitter IL
makes delicious salad with French
or mayonnaise dressing, and may take
the place of celery as a novelty. 4 few
sprays OF watercress may be served with
the endive as a garnish. Pepper cups
make nice holders for individual services
OF this salad.
VANILLA COUPE.-The vanilla coupe
is simply vanilla ice cream served in glass
sherbet cups. Serve only a small guam
tity-just enough TO give little cold ir-
freshment after the hot goose and rich
mince pie-but decorate each prettily with
a bit OF green angelica and candied
cherry TO give the Christmas colors.

strawberries makes a most delightful
bonbon to serve at the end of the Christ
