Week

an unexpected guest, for they firmly
believe that In him they are giving
hospitality to Christ himself, and
that prosperity will follow through
out the yearl
The hostess tells guests as they
enter that they are to spell their
names backward and arc to be called
by these names the evening through.
Any one forgetting this is required
to pay forfeit. For instance, the
name Gates would be Setag, the
name Reynolds Sdlonyer, and so
on. This is bound to occasion lots
Of fun, for the names are hard to
pronounce and harder to remember,
so that later very merry time can
be occasioned in the paying of the
torfeits.
When the guests assemble at the
table the host or hostess tells them
to observe their shadows. 1t is q
very bad sign not to be able to locate
ones shadow at Christmas dinners,
for it may mean that you will be
an old maid or bachelor.
When tho apples and nuts are
,erved the condition Of each nut
cracked foretells the health Of the
person cracking 1t during the COM
ing year. If 1t is spoiled it means
illness or other misfortune. When
tho apples are cut 1t must be
crosswise, 80 that the position Of the
seeds and cells may be seen. If they
do not form a perfect star 1t is very
unfortunate.
When the dinner Is over the
tinkle Of a silvery bell summons
the guests into the living room
where tree has been decorated in
true Bohemian fashion with fruits,
bonbons and little cakes tied on
with ribbons. At the very top a
golden pig is suspended from the
ceiling so that he seems to float
over the top Of the tree.
There should be no attempt to
give real gifts at this party, just a
few appropriate and ridiculous little
odds and ends. If all the guests are
we'll known to each other it is an
excellent chance to play jokes with
the gifts.

BY LAURA GATES sYKORA

@HRISTMAS WEEK Is usually
crammed full Of jollity, but
for something truly original,
informal and out of the usual try a
Bohemian Christmas party. Christ
mas with our new-found brothers,
the "Czechs," will bring new joys.
The Golden Pig is feature Of Bo-
hemian folklore now associated with
Christmas, but which is so old that it
probably had its origin in some
heather festival in the long, long
ago, when 1t was the symbol Of Joy
and feasting. To see the Golden Pig
means that the best of luck will fol-
low the person through tho coming
year, and . promised glimpse of it Is
held out to children as a reward for
obedience.
In Bohemia this party would be
given on Christmas Eve, which cello
brates the end of long fast from
sunup to shutdown, and the menu
offers no meat The guests are in
vited to 7 o'clock dinner, and to be
typical the foods served should be

Pearl Bavlsy Po--idgs .ctth MvsA-
room Sauce
Fish 10Th Bluok Soxos
CAr@stn'os Ttoist Apple Stv14dsl
Bohemian Torts Yolk Cookies
Fruit dnd Nuts
OF course, It would add to the nov
city to have the Bohemian dishes,
but it is not necessary to follow this
menu. The things in it which would
be sure to appeal to our American
palates are the Christmas twist, the
apple strudel, which is delicious, and
the little golden yolk cookies. (Reci-
pes given further on)
The table should have a huge bas-
ket Of fruit In the center, with. a
cunning little pig standing stolidly
in the center (have the pig golden,
If possible); from his mouth the
gayest Of yellow ribbons reach out
to each place at the table, where q
smaller pig guards a bonbon dish

The girls are now requested to go
to the top Of some stairs and throw
down one Of their slippers. They
count the number of steps 1t lands

the number Of years before they
will be married.
The slippers are left where they
have fallen and each boy is told to
select the slipper Of the girl he
wishes to escort horne. Not being
