ld!
We'll usher him in with a merry din,
That shall gladden his joyous heart,
And we'll keep him up while there's bite or sup,
And in fellowship good we'll part."

Pass around small glasses of egg-nog and have toasts of Christmas cheer.

For refreshments have delicious oyster and mushroom cream soup, cold
wild duck, jelly and celery. A frozen salad after this; it is made of
tomatoes (canned) cooked a little, strained, and when cold mixed with a
thin mayonnaise, then frozen, making a delight for the palate. The ice
is a lemon ice frozen in individual molds very hard and covered with a
hot chocolate sauce, making a most delicious blending of hot and cold,
sweet and sour. A tiny glass of cordial completes the repast.

For the prize for the quotations have a handsome copy of Christmas
Stories tied with red ribbons and ornamented with a bunch of holly. For
the booby prize have a bag of the buttons Peggotty burst from her gown
when an exuberance of emotion filled her breast.

A BOSTON SUPPER PARTY.

When the guests assemble put them in charge of a man with a megaphone
and start them through the rooms on a "Seeing Boston" tour. Have fake
tablets and different objects to represent the places of interest. These
objects could be numbered and turn the "Seeing Boston" into a guessing
contest. Give each guest a note book and pencil to enter the correct
name opposite the correct number. This can include side trips to
Lexington, Concord, Bedford, etc.

Take the folders and circulars of a trip through Boston, cut out the
tiny pictures, mount on grey paper, letter with white ink and give them
as souvenirs. Or remove all lettering and use these pictures as a
contest, asking the guests to name the pictures correctly. For amusement
have "Paul Revere's Ride" acted in pantomine, or charades on the
different names. For supper serve pork and baked beans, Boston brown
bread, pie, tea, etc. Tiny earthen bean-pots, spectacles, handbags,
imitation folders--any of these things would do for souvenirs.

A YACHTING PARTY.

Have a large room fitted up as the deck and after deck of a steam yacht.
To reach the room have the guests climb through a hatchway. Steamer
chairs and nautical paraphernalia fill the deck and a dozen life
preservers hang conveniently near. Have all the necessary rigging and a
flag pole floating the yacht flag. The host and his guests should wear
yachting costumes and the souvenirs be tiny red and green lan
