Suggestions for New Year’s Eve Parties C HE New Year's Wish Tree U an old idea. Everybody has wishes and hopes for the New Tear that Is Just beginning, and an invitation t.< a wishing party would be most apt roprlate. A good game to pUy at such a party U What Would you Do If ? Each pUyar U given a piece of paper, numbered, and a pencil. At the top of the paper the player must write the query: Tibet Would You Do If . .- jvno beneath It any question in the players' mind that flu on to the beginning of the sentence already written. The papers are then folded and returned to the host, who gives each player another piece of paper numbered differently from the first piece that he has received. At the top of this paper the players are Instructed to write: I would and beneath the answer to any question they, may have In mind. Theta papers are then given to the host and they are paired oft with the first set. and read aloud. Thus both papers numbered one would be read together. first the question and then the answer. As these wlh have nothing to do with each other, the effect will be ridiculous and laugh.

here. I New Tear. But the strange thing fable. Here are a few examples

from papers written at a party last

Nsw Tear's Eva.

What would you do If aomswere to give you a million dollars? I would go to the first farm on ths right, look at the pi*, ask for a glass of fresh milk. What would you do If you i president of the United States? I would sit In a rocking chair and twrlri my thumbs and never do a stroke of work again. * Whai would you do If you a half holiday? I wou'd uke a course In book-keeping. Etc. But the Idea of the wishing tree la carried out In Aha table decoraThe tep of a Christ maa tree may be used and a gilded wish i attached to a Uny envelope, for each guest, should bo tied to the branches. These ere afterwards taken from the tree by the host and distributed to the guests who open the envelope end read aloud In turn tho good luck wish , contained therein. Good luck pieces ay be used for favors. Another novel parly Is a New Year'e Eve Costume party. The 12 girls are Invited to come, each one representing a month of the year, and 12 boys are asked to represent a holiday or something typical of each mouth. When the guests ere assembled the boys and girls nnd their partners by locating the holidays and the months that go together. For example: Jsruary and the New Year will pair olt, February and St. Valentine will go together, etc. The host was dressed as Father Time. Much fun can be had at a costume party and such a one as described Is especially appropriate for New Year's Eve.

Women’s Clubs and Cudgels Perhaps It Is not plain that there it a close kinship between the word "dub" as applied on the one hand, to an organisation of men or women. and on tha other to the cudgel with which one administers a beating. In the family of words, however. both "clubs” coma from the i parent “Club" Is derived from Scandinavian words which similar In construction and In meaning In the Swedish. Danish and Icelandic languages. The form used In Iceland la "Klubbn" or "Klumba," meaning "club" or "dump." In English the original meaning of the word "clump" la an unshaped piece of wood. Another meaning la a cluster or group of anything, as In the phraae "a dump rees." In this same sense the 1 "club" means a dump or group, aa applied to people, from which we formed the habit of speaking of certain gioupa or organisations as "dubs." One of the distinctions of English Is that wo speak of “a knot" of people, or "a dump" of trees, when the algnlflcar.ci la the same

'TWENTY-SIX TO TWENTY-SEVEN

When from the clouds the glad New Year stepped lightly down to earth Amid the din of merry bells, the happy children's mirth. The good Old Year was waiting near to greet the eager boy And wish him all success and every future earthly joy. ‘‘But. youngster," said Old Year, "let's hope that you will never malte The same mistake* that I have made—step lively, keep awake! And warn the boys a id girls, if they would know the greatest fun. Their work each day, as well as play, most cheerfully be done.'*

NEW YEAR

n EXT Friday night, you. ,of my readers who stay awake until that most witching hotxr of the nlghu—twelve o'clock—WO! hear the whistles blow, and the bells ring, the people shout, and the horns toot. Do you know why? The Now Year. 1927. will begin on the stroke of twelve. -And why should there be an accompaniment of noise to the arrival of the New Year? Many people, due to the time honored tradition, feel that with the beginning of a New Tear the cares and worries of the Old Year should be shaken off and forgotten, and the beat way to rid oneself cf worry Is to drown the -l oublesorae thoughts In noise and merrymaking. In olden times the New Year Day was a day of aban-
