A TWELFTH
NIGHT PARTY.

A twelfth night party The very
words call up pictures of revelry and
mirth, Of ancient mask and game and
festive rite. Surely no day in the year
is more suited to merrymalzing than
this Twelfth night, surrounded. as 1t is
with myth and legend and story.
Twelfth day-the Epiphany, or
twelfth day after Christmas-is, first
of all, a religious holiday and was
anciently celebrated instead of Christ
mas. Gradually ii came to be cele-
brated as a separate festival, where
upon reverence was paid to the three
kings of orient and from the early
middle ages down to zoo years ago
Twelfth day was a day of high fes-
tival in cottage and palace alike.
Indeed, as late as seventy-f1ve years
ago the confectioners' shops in Lon
don displayed and sold huge twelfth
cakes, costume PROFESSIONS were held
in various villages and towns of Eng
land, and until an illness of George
III-who died in 1S20-kept him one
Twelfth day from performing the rites,
the kings of England from time out of
memory had each Twelfth day made
an Offering of gold, frankincense and
myrrh in St James chapel in memory
of the three wise men Of the east.
So, on this day, that for centuries
and centuries has been day of fes-
tival, and while the holiday spirit is
still in the air. give Twelfth day
or, rather. a Twelfth night-party.

Twelfth cake. This cake has always
played an important part in the popu-
lar celebration OF the day and its his
tory goes back many years in Eng

1t was always great cake. brave
" frosted and decorated, and in it was
hidden a bean. The guest ut each
Twelfth night party who drew the.
bean in his or her piece Of cake was
king or queen for the evening un-
til the clock struck midnight
It is said that In 1863 Mary Queen
of Scots insisted that one of her la
dies in waiting who drew the bean at
the Twelfth night festivities at Holy
rood castle should don the real queens
clothes and jewels, while she played
the bean queens part for the evening.
The idea of electing kings by beans
goes even further back than the Eng
lish Twelfth night cakes, which even
in the days Of Queen Mary of Scots
were an established custom, for the
Roman children. at the time of one of
their festivals. used to draw lots with
beans to see who should play he was
the king.
So be sure, whatever else you have
or don't have at your party, to have a
Twelfth cake. And as soon as your
guests are assembled bid each one
take a piece. It would be better, per-
haps, to have two beans hidden, one
in each half, in the calSe-there is his
toric precedent for this too-and to
give the man guests slices from one
half and the women slices from the
other. The lucky man who draws a
bean is king OF the evening and his
fair partner in luck is the queen.
