Hovto Plan
the Watch Night
Party
1 HE New Year's eve watch party
affords a most charming enter-
Y ,4lrlprlv riAonle. 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

Mrs. F. H. Proctor, Court St., says:
'Some few years ago kidney trouble
came on me and I think too much
heavy work is what brought it on. My
back ached a great deal and this took
the life and ambition out of me. When

THE SADDEST THING.
Like bread without the spreadin',
Like pudding without the sauce;
Like a mattress without the stuffing,
Like a cart without the hoss;
Like a door without a latch-string,
Like a fence without a stile,
Like a dry and barren creek bed,
Is the face without a smile.
L
Like a house without a dooryard,
Like a yard without a flower,
Like a clock without a mainspring,
That will never tell the hour;
j A thing that always. makes you feel
; A hunger all the while
The gaddest thing that ever was
Is a face without a smile.
