Planning A New Year's Party Should
Be Fun With Following Suggestions
There may be some hostesses
in the area who are planning
New Year's Eve parties in their
homes. Usually on these occa-
sions, the hostess goes all out
to insure her guests a party
atmosphere they will not soon
forget.
Decorations are an important
part of the total plan and de-
pending on the type of party
and the size of the party room,
hostesses will enjoy these prep-
arations as much as the party.
Multi -colored baloons are as
much a part of New Years as
trees are a part of Christmas.
Have the children inflate as
many balloons are you can com-
fortably accommodate. They
can be hung from the ceiling
on fine threads, on the walls
and ceilings by friction or other
bits of sticking substances, or
clustered on a •huge net over-
head with other favors and
noise -makers (a sheer curtain
works well) to be showered on
your guests at the stroke of
midnight.
Of course, Christmas festoon-
ings are still ideal decorations,
but additional candles and plen-
ty of snack trays well distrib-
uted throughout the party area
will add to the gala party fun.
A punch bowl is a must. If
you do not own a regular punch
set, improvise by decorating
your largest mixing bowl. Set
in a nest of cedar boughs and
glittering •ornaments for in-
stance, surrounded by .plenty of
sparkling glasses, your punch
bowl can be as pretty as the
most expensive crystal bowls.
Try this recipe for punch (or
use your own favorite):
1 6 -oz. can frozen lemon con-
centrate
1 12 -oz. can (11/2 cups) apricot
nectar, chilled
1 12 -oz can (11/2 cups) unsweet-
ened pineapple juice chilled
2 7 -oz, bottle ginger ale
chilled
Empty lemonade concentrate
into bowl and add •one oan
water; mix in fruit juices. Red
food coloring may be added at
this point to make pink punch.
Add giner ale and ice cubes
just before serving. Float bits
of fruit or artificial holly for
an especially pretty touch.
Serves eight.
Food—perhaps the :most im-
portant ingredient at any party
— should be kept simple and
simply delicious. Popular
among several young couples is
the pot -luck party lunch which
includes several special dishes,
one prepared by each couple
just for the occasion. Food like
this might include hot baked
beans, rolls, barbecued spare-
ribs, tossed salad, jellied salad
and coffee.
A good way to make certain
you will enjoy the party if you
are the hostess is to prepare
all the food in advance. Potato
salad, cold cuts, a jellied mould
and buttered home-made bread
are satisfying served with
steamming cups of coffee.
Sandwiches and cookies — all
kinds and shapes—are still
popular. So are hamburgers or
hotdogs — especially if you al-
low your guests an opportunity
to assemble their own from an
imaginative selection of re-
lishes.

THOUGHT OF THE YEAR
I shall pass through this life but
once.
Any good, therefore, that I can
do
Or any kindness I can show to
any fellow creature,
Let me do it now,
Let me not defer or neglect it,
For I shall not pass this way
again. — •Etienne De Grellet

CREATE ONE CUSTOM
Most families have one or
two customs at this time of
year which are a natural .part
of Christmas for them. Some
people use special dishes and
silverware for Christmas; a few
serve traditional foods; more
decorate with family heirlooms
handed down from generation
to generation.
If you don't :have a family
custom—something you do or
use every year at Christmas —
create one. Maybe it will be
a sock -hanging ceremony or an
old-fashioned carol sing right
after Christmas dinner. What-
ever it is, plan to do the same
thing year after year until your
children have adopted it as a
feature of Christmas which will
carry over into their homes.
It's a nice warm thought at
Christmas.
