The Globe-republican., 1890-11-05

ant entertainment. and rs we are to have
one of these parties this month it is well
enough, in the absence of a costumer, to
offer few suggestions as to proper aud
effective dress, especially for the ladies.
We find many new and becoming. as
we'll rs some very amusing toilets among
those seen recently at masquerade:
A sunflower costume WAS unusually
pretty and becoming to the tall. grace
full brunette who wore it. The dress was
y tea gown of black wool or silk. with Il
full front Of the lovely yellow China silk.
matching the sunflOwer: sunflow-r cap
was worn. and sunflower fan carried.
besides miniature Suniiowers worn:
(these can be made of tissue paper to look
very natural. or artificial ones can be
bought.)
An Oyster Shell was we'll represented.
a cap that looked almost like a large oy-
ster she'll, just showing the lovely pink
lining, was worn on the head. the mask
was very similar and was open and shut
all the evening. as was also the large fan
that nearly covered the front of the dress.
A ''lampshade" costume is probably
one of the newest and most unique gowns
ever worn. and was worn at large party
not long ago. The dress was of brilliant
yellow silk. heavily yelled with tulle of
the same shade. A wire is run in the
edge Of the skirt to keep it out and the
border is frayed-out ruche and frill of
handsome white lace. The bodice, which
is high. is trimmed to match, and sash
of rich yellow silk is worn with this
pretty costume. The hat greatly resem-
bles lamp shade with glass chimney
rising from the center. Ruching and the
lace ruffle finish the brim.
Where seven Dung ladies wish to dress
alike, the seven Sutherland sisters, with
their long tresses hanging below the
waist, affords them a good opportunity:
they should dress as nearly alike as pos
sible. White is very pretty where worn
by so many. A butterfly costume can
be made very attractive and pleasing
by any one that is at all ingenious. The
mask. cap. apron. etc. should all be
made to represent butterflies.
A large purple or yellow pansy is IN
especially picturesque suit and easily
arranged.
4 gentle Quakeress all in gray is al
ways Il pretty sight.
\ Sister of Charity or Nun is an easy
costume to get up. for almost every one
has black dress. shawl and veil, that
can be utilized. Monks can disguise
themselves very easily aud with but little
trouble.
A "bat' makes very novel costume
for young man. The tunic should be
Of dark, mouse-gray plush, cut in seal
lops at the edge. There should be gray
silk tights and gray plush shoes on the
feet. The wings can be made of gray
silk and cut in five points. which should
be stiffened with whalebones. These
are sewed into the back seams of the
sleeves and then to the tunic at the back.
A gray plush cap cut out in the shape of
a bats head with glass eyes and large
ears is worn with this costume.
Queen of the water lilies is very
unique suit. and can be arranged very
similar to the sunflower toilet.
TOpsy, with her original makeup. is
truly an amusing creature when the part
is well carried out. and furnishes plenty
of fun and mirth for the company.
The '.Queen of Hearts, can be made
a very snowy and effective costume. The
skirt should be of white wool, made
short. with rose-colored velvet hearts
scattered over it. One side should be
slightly open. showing skirt of rose
color. The bodice or waist should be
cut eart-shaped, with angel sleeves. A
pointed cap to match is worn with this
pretty suit.
Maud Muller. Red Riding Hood, the
NCuOOl uCIC CdUIs Tic MAIL C6TIlcI
in his regimentals. Folly. Fire. Dudes,
Claudius, Romeo and Juliet, Two Merry
Wives of Windsor, Josiah Allen and Sa-
manthy, are all cute and simple costumes.
An Egyptian costume is very hand
some costume for brunette. The gown
can be of copper silk. cut long. with
flowing sleeves, and the head dress and
long veil Of black Gauze should be en-
broidered with peoples. A necklace
and bracelets of silver are worn with this
suit. and slippers of black and copper
velvet.
