Traditional New Years Practice

light in having guests drop IN. OF
j., entertaining in formal or informal
style.
The custom Of sending New year
cards is n relic of the ancient fashion
of presenting gifts on that DAY. ~
NAV be due to the fact that soVereigns
expected gifts of a rather cosby
nature, or in some cases even went 50
far as to exact definite sums or goiu
from their subjects. that the flavor OF
giving on New Year day was rather
spoiled. However. in certain parts or
the world the custom OF gift making
still continues. though it is Invested OF
all suggestion OF necessity. and he.
comes as happy a custom as the eX-
change Of Christmas presents In other
quarters of the globe.
One form OF New Year entertain.
ing that is in vogue today is the Civ.
ing of dinner parties. In New York
and Whereabouts traces can be found
of the Dutch New Year dinners
which were deservedly famous. So. If
a dinner either formal or informal is
planned. the serving Of some Dutch
dish is delightfully."- appropriate, and
an entire dinner of Dutch dishes adds
distinction to the occasion. Women
who prefer to entertain at luncheons
can on New Year day have men
included in those sections where New
Year day is holiday. A Dutch
luncheon could then lend atmosphere
TO the midday meal.
APPLES are a favorite food with the
Dutch and a centerpiece Of luscious,
rosy-cheeked apples with some yellow
ones to add notes of color would be
appropriate. Four green candles could
add a pickering glow to the highly
polished fruit. Place cards could be
in the form of apples.
