Most folks look /upon February as
one of the best months for house
parties of various kinds. The wea-
ther
ea-
tler stillremains i
re air s cold so that happy
gatherings are quite in order and can
be made quite colorful.
To furnish that "color" there are
three events that every hostess ought.
to feature in, her party program ac-
cording to the date. Those are Lin-
coln's Birthday, Feb,, 12th; St, Valen-
tine's, Feb. 14th, 'Min Washington's
Birthday, Feb, 22nd.
Party Decorations
For Lincoln's. I3irthday parties —
patriotic effects are most to be de-
sired.` Use your own ingenuity a bit
in striking attractive settings. Dec-
orate your luncheon spread with red,
white and blue crepe paper and use
the same color combination in such
other accessories to the spread you
may think of. Use bunting for room
decoration throughout the house.
Red and white carnations and sim-
ilar blossoms will also add color to
the event.
Heart designs in place cards and
Valentines of artistic character as
well as trimmings to harmonize with
the idea, are in order for St. Valen-
tine's Day parties.
For Washington's Birthday parties,
ideas similar to those mentioned for
Lincoln's Birthday can be carried out.
Paper hatchets and the "cherry idea,"
of course, should be added features.
Game •Suggestion
In conducting Lincoln's or Wash-
ington's Birthday parties, many a
hostess is at a loss to ,know just
what kind of games' are appropriate
Inc
Gt ht cr <rff' iX.M` 1 r..-.
t a l'ic'e are many --
the
3
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 front Washington's
time . Crn--Set •
ting a 'time limit, of
course, in allowing them to make
their guesses. Make it a real test
by asking the contestants. to place
the names of the presidents in the
otder that they held office. Or—you
might ask them "who was six-
teenth
the x
teenth presidetat' of the United. Stat-
es"
tates" — or "who was the twelfth," etc.'
Party Refreshments
Refreshments,' too, should • har-
monize with the character of party
being given. If : for a Valentine's
party—you'll find you can snake quite
appetizing looking sandwiches •and
cookies shaped in the form of hearts,
Ice cream in portions shaped like-
wise are also appropriate.
For Lincoln's and Washington's
Birthday affairs,' the sarne idea can
be carried out—changing the designs,
of course, according to the event.
For Lincoln's Birthday, star shapes
are needed. And for Washington's
Birthday, 'hatchet shapes are approp—
riate.
Serve any creamed dish in varied
shaped cases, Salads can be delight-
fully rnolded, appropriate to any of
the celebrations of February.
Cherry salad is a favorite salad
during this month. Always remove
the pits andinscrt nuts

BAKING HINTS
Party Cookies
For Lincoln's Birthday party, cut:
cookies oblong to resemble flag. Use
colored frosting for stripes and white
frosting dots for stars. For Valen-

For Washington's Birthday party, cut
cookies hatchet shaped.
