It fa n tlm whpn a (' party can be arranged on most simple , lines and it may be easily made enjoy- y aote iu everyooe present. Of course the house 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 have 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 be played. Large, brightly colored balls, very light in weight, can be pro cured from the 10-cent store; five or ten of them are started at one end of the room, the guests fanning them the length of the room and between two posts at the other end. The "posts' can be little evergreen trees In flower pots; the one sending his bail tdt tttegoar first v wins prize. A verx pretty costmne party is a Pierrot and Pier ette dance. The costumes are very easy to tnake' and so becoming to the girls and boys. Old fashioned "square" dances are the or- t der of the evening with games and contests. of various kinds between each j dance. 0 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 aot dance. ; The refreshments should be of a sim ple 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 Never attempt anything 'that is be yond your jmeans or the customs of the place yon ; I ivet In. Pretentiousness never brings xomfort to tne guests or renecis credit upon' the nostess. The true host- ess can show as much refinement in serving a simple cup of tea as In giving j an elaborate dinner. Remember to be t 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 7 Try to give your guests a good time, i - but don't overdo It, Make the evening -j - genuinely enjoygble.
