For more than a quarter of a cen
fury, or ever since their marriage, Mr..
and Mrs. Fred G. B. Weihe have invited
in a few friends each year to celebrate
with them the departure of the old
year and the coming in of the new. In
keeping with this custom, Mr.. and Mrs.
Weihe informally invited a number of
their friends, several of whom have
attended these occasions for many
years, to come and be merry.
The pretty home of the Weihes was
beautifully decorated in holly, ever
green and red and green Christmas
decorations and other kinds and the en-

chen, was opened to the use Of the
guests The pretty Christmas tree,
given Master Fred Weihe Ill, was
stin in the parlor with it's pretty dec
orations and fresh candles lighted as
the years changed.
In the kitchen Mr.. Weihe had a
punch bowl almost as large as the
crater Of Vesuvius, but its contents

menace to the Mediterraneaus-it did
not turn to ashes on the lips.
In the dining room, Mrs. Weihe had

kinds of cake, nuts and fruits were
served all through the evening.
There was music, games, story tell

the Christmas tree, closing with re-
cord made on the photograph, to
which all contributed a share. The re-
