There is a rage for old fur niture , old styles in portraits nnd Jewelry , Ivory miniatures , antique doorknockers In place of electric bells and candles In queer silver sticks , which are burned in smart drawing rooms nowadays Instead of lamps or gas. And In this -way the old custom of Now ( Year entertaining Is being revived again , reports the New York Sun. The good old fashion ot friendly greeting around a hos pitable punch bowl which used to mark thef dawn of another year gradually fell > Into disuse through Its very popularity. The day -which had been celebrated by gorgeous toilets , Jewels and the thoroughly lilcasanl custom of seeing one's friends sank to the deadliest commonplace nnd was finally rele gated to the cast eldo exclusively , where young ladles Issued cards with colored chromes on the corners , bearing their sev eral names and addresses printed in bold typo and received whole clubs In a bunch , > the members traveling from house to house in hired funeral coaches and reaching a stage of Joyous Inebriety toward the late hours of the day that often needed police in terference. For years there has been a growing Ignor ing of the Now Year's day In town. People have fled to country houses and golfed and skated , and hunted the young year into , existence. For a tirao many of the old fam ilies -with whom the custom of Now Ycar'a , receiving had become almost a rite hung , card baskets on the doorbe ) ! , so that any stray caller might be able to leave his card as a reminder ot the fact that he refused to , bow to the now fashion , H , C. Bunner wrote one of his prettiest poems on this subject , picturing pathetically the chagrin , and ( mortification , pf an old- time gentleman < wuo had each'yettr made * his 'round of visits on old friends nnd old } sweetheart ! , now ( matrons with hair as sil very as his own. For the first time ho found a basket on the boll and was forced to retrace his stops , gad and disgusted with modern ways and fashions , But ev n , the card basket ; was , taken in ifter ja year"or two and i dreary hiatus" * of empty town , bouses marked the Nerwr Year' * dayi , Thts < unsocial state > of affairs * la giving "way ito * the cti8tomInformal. ( entertainment , .which will be indulged In quite freely this year. At any number of fashionable homos there will be dinner * and \ dances' to mark the birth of 1899 , rwhlle the old year will tbo taken leave of by various informal euppers , delightful In tnelr lack of conventionality and the sentiment which accompanies this Important holiday. There nro any number of pretty conceits } n the way of decoration for rooms kan3 tables for those New Year entertainments. At one supper which will bo given to usher in the New Year guests will assemble - somblo about a holly wreathed punch bowl Just before the old year dlea. Above the ) i bowl will be suspended a bell completely * hidden ID mistletoe. From the top ot the boll a number of narrow whlto entln ribbons bens will extend 1o the edge ot the round table , ono ribbon for each guest. As the ) last moments of the year approach a silent toast will bo proponed each person drink ing silently to whatever person or object that U dearest to bis heart. Then as tlio hands of the clock mark the hour of mid night each ribbon will bo taken up and the bell will calmo sweetly and reverently p. welcome to the gay young year ot ' 99 , at the same time sounding its farewell to old ' 98. 98.After After thla is over the table will be re * moved and the mistletoe bell will be utilized for the purpose towhich the branch is con secrated , with the addition that for each , ealuto given beneath it it must be rung. To obviate the objection which eoine of the guests may have to this feature , the gener ous hosteso has placed various other boughs of the mistletoe throughout tbe entire house , where the bell accompaniment may b omitted. A punch bowl supper that is ono whera refreshments are handed round informally Is much Jollier and more In keeping with the holiday than the more formal repasts. Vianda should be selected which will adapt themselves to tbls purpoio. Tbero are , of course , any number ot recipes for punch , each ono sworn to by Its different admirers. As a rule the directions given for mixing of punches are too elaborate. Llko various other preparations concocted for tbo palate of the human animal their chief merit In simplicity. In a champagne punch this rule Is especially true. A champagne punch , "composed" by tbo Only William , the eminent "mixologist , " Is made from tbo following ingredients : One quart ot sherry , two quarts of Moaeilo , ono glass Maracblno , ono Curacoa , ono char treuse , two of Benedictine , ono pint brandy , four quarts of champagne. First strain the Julco of elx lemons Into a bowl with ono pouud loaf sugar and two quarts of mineral water. Mix well and add the other liquids , with oranges aiid bananas sliced. Servo ice cold. cold.A A splendid cbcese to serve on crackers Is made by mixing a pat of butter , a portion ot Roquefort and a dash of cayenne pepper , gradually moistened to a omooth paste with a glass of dry champagne and served on toasted crackers. Celery shredded by a dert band after It has been for several hours in ice water Is much bettor than tbe put stalk usually eerved as a salad , H Is almout Im possible to tell how to sbred celery , as It is one of those things culinary which require a peculiar talent. Celery refuses to "shred" under the unpractlcM hand , while soma cooks can make it curl up In dry , light strips that are particularly palatable. Driver ud Money done , BAN ANTONIO. Dec. 29.
