@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 cele-
brates the end of long fast from
sunup to sundown, 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
theses

Pearl Bavlsy Po--idgs .ctth MvsA-
room Sauce
Fish 10Th Bluok Soxos
CAr@stn'os Ttoist Apple Stv14dsl

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

to each place at the table, where q

the living room each boy is told to
take the bunch Of cherry blossoms

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 slippers are left where they
