There are many—the most popular one of which, I believe, the presidential guessing contest, , You ask your guests to write down the names of all the presidents they can remember. from Washington's time on—setting a time limit, of cour- se, in allowing thein to make their "alta real test ask- ing guesses. ,Maleby e ing the contestants to place the names of the presidents in the order that t Or—you - mi l they held office.

For Lincoln's and Washington's Birthday affairs, the same idea can be carried out—changing the designs, of course, according to the events For Lincoln's Birthday, star shapes are.._... needed. And for Washington's Bir- thday, hatchet Shapes are appropriate. Serve any creamed dish in varied - shaped cases. Salads can be delight- fully molded, appropriate to any of the celebrations of February. Cheery salad is .a favorite salad during this month. Always remove the pits and insert nuts. Cheery ice, ice creaii in individual molds, tree cakes, small cakes cut in !fancy shapes and frosted in w hite and decorated with red candy or colored frosting or topped with cherry or t c. flag add the required touch Co these festive occasions.
