Lincoln's BirthdayAt dinners, parties and entertainments given on February 12th, the
anniversary of the birth of our immortal Lincoln, one aim of the host or
hostess should be to imbue the affair with the spirit of patriotism; so
use the good old red, white and blue for the color scheme in decorating.
Busts and pictures of Lincoln, national emblems, such as the flag,
shield, American Eagle, etc., and military accouterments would make
appropriate decorations.
Dinner favors should be candy boxes representing either miniature log
cabins or a log of wood with a tiny paper or metal ax imbedded in it;
small busts of Lincoln would make ideal favors for such an occasion.
Place cards may have on the reverse side a quotation from Lincoln which
the guests may read in turn to furnish food for thought and
conversation. The following sayings of Lincoln are suggested:--
"I do not think much of a man who is not wiser to-day than he was
yesterday."
"Gold is good in its place, but living, brave, and patriotic men are
better than gold."
"Let none falter who thinks he is right."
"My politics are short and sweet like an old woman's dance."
"I have never studied the art of paying compliments to women; but I must
say that if all that has been said by orators and poets since the
creation of the world in praise of women, were applied to the women of
America, it would not do them justice for their conduct during the war."
"You may fool all the people some of the time, and some of the people
all of the time; but you cannot fool all of the people all of the time."
"The dogmas of the quiet past are inadequate to the stormy present."
"The way for a young man to rise is to improve himself every way he can,
never suspecting that anybody wishes to injure him."
"The severest justice may not always be the best policy."
"I always plucked a thorn and planted a rose when in my power."
"Let not him who is houseless pull down the house of another."
"Government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not
perish from the earth."
