In France New Year's day. or In Jour d’Etrennee (literally. day of m). is the greatest day of the whole year. All France buys itself poor. The men are supposed to give bonbons and now- ers to every lady upon whom they callQand Jan. 2 finds women lck from eating sweetmeats and men sick from spending more than they could well aflord,‘but the average Frenchman be- lieves 1n the old observation that it in “all In a lifetime.” or, according to our vernacular, that “Christmas (New .Year m France) comes but once a The practice of making presents on New Year’s day was originated by the Romans and from them taken up by the Britons. When gloves ‘were novelties and luxuries that every woman wanted. but not every one could aflord. they were the customary gifts. often very handsome ones made of silk and deco- rated with gold traceries and precious stones. Occasionally a sum of money was given instead of the gloves. the donor designating the gift as “glove money." Queen Elizabeth was espe- cially fond of stockings as a New Year's gift. Sir Thomas More when lord chancel- lor once decided a case in favor of a lady, who, to show her gratitude. sent Sir Thomas a pair of gloves containing forty gold coins. Sir Thomas returned the gold with this note: “Mistress-â€" Since it were against good manners to refuse your New Year’s gift 1 am conv tent to take your gloves. but as for the liningâ€"i utterly refuse it." W'hen pins were first invented and brought into use about the beginning of the sixteenth century they were highly prized as New Year’s gifts. They. too. were made of very valuable materialâ€"of gold and silver, as well as of the common metals. The money which had been expended in gloves was then made use of for pins. and money given for the purchase of the new style gift was called “pin money," The term has gradually enlarged its meaning, and now the modern girl speaks of her “pin money.” but she buys all sorts of things with it and instead of receiving it from friends once a year obtains it from “papa" Once a month or once a week. Recipe For Reception a la George and Martha. To hold a New Year’s reception a la George and Martha Washington the drawing room should be arranged to look like that of a century ago. Let holly and mistletoe festoon doors and arches and be massed with pine and hemlock and other evergreens knotted with cherry colored ribbons. WASHINGTONIAN NEW YEAR. The gowns and headdresses of the ladies lnvlted to attend may be copied from old fashioned prints or reproduc- tions of portraits of historic belles. The old brocades. the powdered hair and complexion patches will transform the appearance of modern beans and belles in a manner truly wonderful. A few lines penciled on the face will aid in suggesting the appearance of the mdivianal whose personality is to be represented. Every guest should be at liberty to select the character most pleasing to himself or herself. Of course this choice shoals preclude the characters of Washington and his wife. which belong to the host and the hostess. If they have a‘wn and daughter. Jack and Nelly Cnstis s uld The minnet will. of course, be the first dance, and it should be led by the host and hostess in the costumes of Washington and his wife. If other than buffet refreshments are served. the host takes to the dining room the most distinguished lady presentâ€"that is, the one whose position in the so- ciety of the time represented was most important The hostess takes the most distinguished gentleman no the dining In the center of the dining room to- ble a handsome decoration represent- ing a chime of bells bearing aiott a silver star and the figures denoting the date of the new year should be placed on a bank of green or of flowers. Rib- bon streamers. red. white and blue. should extend to the edge of the sup- per table. where waxen cherubs. such as are made for decorations on the top of a Christmas tree. perch among the little cluster of flowers intended as souvenirs for guests. A knot of red. white and blue ribbon should tie the flowers intended for the ladies.
