at the entrance that wished all
a merry Christmas until the
last note — it was high sailing
all of the way.
A dinner party to surpass all
parties was achieved by the C.F.

Consider Comfort
In Planning Party
For New Year's Eve
Here are a few tips for a suc
cessful New Year’s Eve party:
Don’t invite more people than
you can comfortably serve. It’s
a nice idea to invite the whole
neighborhood, but parties should
be given in comfort
Don’t serve gooey food—unless
you enjoy playing a guessing
game when your rug cleaner asks
you to identify various spots on
your carpet. Nuts, cheese cubes,
cold cuts are perfect for a New
Year’s Eve partv.
plus a real Santa Claus complete
with costume combined to make
the evening exclusive. Members
are Gladys Williams, prexy;
Clara Jackson, Clara Menefee,
Mozelle Mathis, Sam Mathis,
Gertrude Sommerour, Sara
Hutchins, Viola Frasier and Ad
die Hammonds. Everyone who
made the scene agreed that the
Wee See's have the flair for
treating their guests to a scil
latating time.

The origin of drinking a toast
on festive occasions is lost in
history. The word “toast” is
traced to England, where during
the reign of the Stuarts it was a
custom to place a bit of toasted
bread in a cup of wine.
Down through the course of
time, some toasts have become
traditional.
Benjamin Franklin is credited
with this line: “He who drinks
fast pays slow.”
Mark Twain popularized this
old Irish toast: “May all your
troubles be little ones.”
Robert Loveman reflected op
timism when he coined this toast:
“A health unto the happy!
A fig for him who frets
It is not raining rain for me.
It’s raining violets!”
And, let’s not forget the stand
ards:
“Cheers!”
“To your health!”
“Here’s mud in your eye!”

New Year’s
Party Can Be
Happy Time
Planning a New Vcai’s party?
Be sure that it is in keeping with
the happy spirit of the holiday.
Make a list of things “to do.”
Don’t try to make up a "schedule,”
just have a list of games and ac
tivities and be ready to suggest
something when and if the party
begins to appear dull.
Remembering that the New
Year celebration in old China was
both lengthy and happy, you
might inject a Chinese theme into
your celebration. You can begin
with New Year resolutions.
In uniting the resolutions, try to
pick out humorous weaknesses.
These might read: “I most pro
foundly resolve to do setting up
exercises each morning, thereby
stretching my weak frame”; “No
more despicable smoking for this
insignificant creature”; or “This
No. 1 boy resolves to study his
mathematics one hour every eve
ning.”
Men and boys will like “Chinese
Get-up.” Two persons sit on the
floor back to back and lock arms.
The first to get to his feet without
unlinking arms is the winner.
For Children
If the children are restless, have
them go to a rather large l oom to
play "Catching the Dragon's Tail.”
This game is like “Crack the
Whip” anil requires space. The
children place their hands on each
other’s shoulders, forming a line.
The first person is the dragon’s
head; the last one, its tail. With
the line intact, the dragon’s head
attempts to catch its tail. When
the first person succeeds, he goes
to the end of the line as the tail,
and so on.
Since all parties need refresh
ments. humble nourishment for
your superior guests should be in
keeping with the Chinese theme.
You might serve Chinese tea and
Chinese almond cakes or nut
cookies. Candied fruits and nuts
are also Chinese delicacies.
To greet the illustrious New
Year, you will w'ant to have ready
plenty of noisemakers, confetti
and streamers. According to an
old Chinese superstition, the noise
will frighten away evil spirits.
