MENUS FOR THE NEW YEAR’S PARTY

Planning a real, old-fashioned watch party to see the old year out and the new one in will afford a real entertainment.  Have the folks arrive about 10 o’clock and then pass an hour and a half in dancing, singing and generally having a real good old-fashioned time.  Then about 11.45 serve the supper, so that just before midnight all are ready with a toast to the new year.
