This seasons Christmas Cards.


The Christmas and New Year cards
for this year will be very fine. said a
dealer to a reporter for the New York
Mail and Express .sOae of the most
popular kind that will be presented for
both seasons is a series of pen and ink
sketches. These sketches are on a
white card with an appropriate motto,
and are made 10 suit all classes of per-
sons. There are landscape sketches
and pretty bits of scenery for the
artistic, nautical scenes and pictures OF
yachts for the yachlsmen. Why, we
have pictures of the Puritan and Genes
Ia yacht races. Then there are horses,
dogs and sporting pictures; in fact,
every kind that one can think OF. :"

''Oh, young men and women all over

Eighteen hundred years ago the
Chinese made paper from fibrous mat

variety. The celebrated Chinese rice

quaint birds and flowers, is manu-
featured from compressed pith, which
is cut spirally by keen knife iuto thin
slices six inches wide and twice rs long
Funeral papers, or paper limitations o

Christmas Gatherings.

For the social Christmas gatherings
this year the Cinderella dances for the
young people are in high favor. They
do not necessitate any great disturb
ance of the house, nor any exceptional
provision for the inner man. Wisely.
too, they admit of plenty of beauty
sleep, though that strictly so-called is
supposed to be enjoyed before mid
night instead of after. s.Grashopper
dances" is another name given TO these
| winter hops. These. like the "Cinder-
| elias, are of an Informal, but not less
| enjoyable kind. AT some of these par
ties it is intended that the dancers shall
dress in characters of kind that will
not promote extravaganza. The cos
tune by rule must be manufactured at
home, and the use of costly materials
discouraged. One evening the dress
is that of working people, and the
appliances and tools used in the pur-
suit of their various occupations is
carried out, and next follows ssDick-
ensh party or .Scott" entertainment
with all the characters chosen from
each authors novels. This idea, if
properly carried out, is productive of
great deal of innocent fun. There
are really few more enjoyable enter
tainments than the Cinderella parties
of this kind. There are so many charm
ing fancies and novel ideas, that both
spectators and participants are delight
ed When these parties are made by
select circle of friends, and every body
knows his neighbor. a mask and fam
cy costume are productive of the most
amusing surprises. The wife of law
yer in this city lately gave a "Cinder-
ella in honor of her daughter, de-
burante. Cards were issued for q
Dickens party" and the unmasking
was done at the supper table, where no
end OF laughter was raised as, at a sig
nal, each guest, one al q time, drew
aside the mask which completely dis
guised the face Upon another occa-
sion each guest appeared as q flower,
and twenty-five dandelions and eigh-
teen sun-flowers blossomed out among
the men. A vast range of invention
for the little peoples Cinderellas is
provided for in the adoption of charac-
ters which figure in Mother Goose's
melodies At bird party was late
ly worn q s'magpie costume Of black
and white. Tie skirt was arranged in
the two coiors in stripes, and laid in
pleats. The bodice was of white satin.
trimmed with black lace cut square in
the neck, and a jet necklace about the
throat; black glove on one hand and q
white on the other; one white stocking
with black slipper and one white
slipper with black stocking; short
black lace sleeve on one arm and white /
lace on the other, etc.
