WELL, Old Year, good-bye—Taps
while you die!
You brought a lot of now things
to us. You have told us a lot of our
failings and helped us to stop better.
You have tripped us up and knocked
us down and talked cross to us, at
times. But we understood, and didn’t
mind, because we knew you thought a
lot of us.
So Taps to you, as you steal away
into a past strewn with the efforts of
the mighty.
We made a lot of mistakes while you
were with us, Old Year. But Taps to
.them. We went ahead and did things
without thinking them carefully out.
And then yon told us afterward of
these blunders. So, you see, we
learned. Thank you, Old Year.
llow many times we were disap
pointed! What great things passed us
by! But Taps for them, now, too.
Life, after all, is hut an unfolding,
a sowing and a reaping, a going to
bed at nighttime and a getting up In
the morning, tears and laughter, work
and rest, while Time plays about us.
But now you are going away, Old Year.
Good luck to you with what we have
given to you. Taps!
For all that we have lost or failed j
in—Taps!
But no regrets —just gladness for
chances, and a million prods of every
sort hidden away the somewhere
to find ns ail anew in the glad New
Year that will awaken us <>n the mor
row. We tried, we failed —we won.
While you go, we smile, and a few
tears touch our smiles. But we blow !
our Taps. Listen to them. Old Year.
And good-bye!—Detroit Free Press.
NEW YEAR S IN MANILA.
To occidental eyes New Year's day
in Manila is a strange oila podrida of
Christmas, Easter and Fourth of July.
The day is ushered in with early mass,
celebrated In tlie cathedral, which is
attended by all the wofnen attired in
old clothes, and the poorer class bare
footed. and the wealthy in sombre
black with black mantillas or shawls
shrouding their heads. But immedi
ately after breakfast everybody be
gins to prink and preen for callers.
Haven locks are plastered into elab
orate coiffures with coeoanut oil and
crowned with red or yellow blossoms.

How to Plan
the Watch Night
Party
THE New Year’s eve watch party
affords a most charming enter
tainment for young as well as
elderly people. It is a time when a
party can be arranged on most simple
lines and it may he easily made enjoy
able to everyone present.
Os course the iiouse decorations that
have been used for Christmas, with a
little freshening up, will do for the
party. As the custom of giving a watch
party on New Year’s eve is a very old
one, the entertainment should be in ac
cordance with the old-fashioned plan
of playing games and making the party
entirely informal, rather than a formal
dinner or dance.
If the guests are invited to come in
costume, it will add greatly to the at
tractiveness of the party. Some simple
costume that is easily gotten up is best.
After the guests hlfve assembled, pre
sent each with a large palm leaf fan,
have the rugs removed from the floor
of one room where a fanning contest
can he played. Large, brightly colored
halls, very light in weight, can be pro
cured from the
'''N. 10-cent store; five
/ \ or ten of them
f " " ' 3j\ are started at one
FT y| end of the room.

35 H* / A very P rett y
JJl—y costume party Is a
Pierrot and Pier
ette dance. The
costumes are very easy to make and so
becoming to the girls and boys. Old
fashioned “square” dances are the or
der of the evening with games and
contests of various kinds between each
dance. Os course the party ends with
the Virginia reel. By introducing a
game between each dance, you give a
most pleasing variety to the evening’s
entertainment, and no one will be left
out of the fun, even If they do not
dance.
The refreshments should he of a sim
pie nature, including some fruit punch
with which to drink the health of
friends for the coming year. If you
want to Introduce the old-fashioned
“hot pint” make a hot grape juice lem
onade with maraschino or preserved
cherries in it.
Never attempt anything that is be
yond your means or the customs of the
place you live in. Pretentiousness never
brings eonifqrt to the guests or reflects
credit upon the hostess. The true host
ess can show as much refinement in
serving a simple cup of tea as in giving
an elaborate dinner. Remember to be
your natural, unaffected self, and if
your wealthy friend has entertained
you at a banquet, don’t hesitate to in
vite her to your party even if it is of
the simplest sort.
Try to give your guests a good time,
but don’t overdo it. Make the evening
genuinely enjoyable. But if you have
a bright idea in the way of entertain
ment. work it out and present it —never
hesitate to he original, but keep within
tin* hounds of your especial capacity
for entertaining and your pocketbook.

the guests will
not take cold.
The merrymaking at a watch-night
party should stop in time for all to
gather silently around the fire or the
Christmas tree and listen to the solemn
striking of the clock that proclaims the
birth of the new year. Then should rite
toiists lie drunk to the year, to the host
and hostess and to the friends. Short
ly afterward the guests should depart
quietly, for a little note of solemnity
is not inappropriate at a» watch-night
party.
Here are some appropriate toasts for
such a time:
King out the old. ring In the i.ew.
Ring happy hells across the snow
The year is goljiß let him go.
Ring out the false, ring in the true.
I’omo. let's loln the merry throng,
I’pon the couch of life we'll ride.
Spending the coming year alone
■Happy we’ll be whate'er beti.le.
Welcome be ye that are here.
Welcome all and make good cheer.
Welcome »1! another year.
Under mistletoe and holly
A party gay and Jolly.
Would Be Great Reform.
Even an approximation of the New
Year’s ideal of virtue would be a
great reform.
Happy N<w Year!
