i Partisan Dinner Novelty
Unique Fantasies for Full Dress affair at
the Gay French Capital

A somber owl with crescented head and
star-tipped wings spread wide presides
over all In semi-nest of the hair, which
should be arranged in abundant hoops
and twists at the back. A graceful cres-
cent of silver with small OWLS head on
each Zip may replace the owl if one wishes
to simplify the design.
The hostess would probably elect to rep
resent either Mrs. Grundy or Nine. Tab
arin. Mrs. Grundy has profusion of ear
trumpets and spectacles arranged in her
hair in order to the better exercise her So
cial function, and Nine Tabarin has the
stiffened queue and feather of the wit.
The fantasy of Louis XVI admits of
large amount of varia ton. If, for instance,
a choice of colors like the following be
adopted-rose for the gown. blue for the
hat and the filets in the hair, the ostrich
plumes of olive green, the roses in shaded
red and the white satin ribbon brocaded
in all the colors-the effect of the costume
on a pretty woman becomes rayissante.
In contrast to this is the simple design
of the Press. A red silk kerchief, striped
with gold, is knotted gracefully on the left
side with gold quill, the sign OF the
trade, stuck through it. A gown in mauve
brocade, with epaulets and embroidery in
white and gold, completes the idea, which
Will commend itself to many.
La Colombo blanche is for the debu-
tante, pure and simple. What a vision of
loneliness the youthful Amelia would
afford when, as the White Dove, she was

gown, of course, would be OF diaphanous
white with no color but the rose in her
cheeks and the tiny neud under her chin
in the blue that matches her eyes.

good-day and good-by. Perhaps the Celtic
mind does not take as easily as the Gallo
to personal fantastic adornment; but,
even granting such, when one would be
merry one naturally selects the best model
to pattern from, and the diner en- costume
affords opportunities for combination OF
dignity and gayety highly commendable.
The conventional evening dress is usually
adhered to in these dinners, with the ex-
ception of the head, upon which, however,
all the fantasy Imaginable may be Law
ished.
This, of course, occasionally requires
slight adaptation in the gown to make a
pleasing whole.
A full-rigged ship, properly manned,
carries us back to the extravagances of a
century ago, but nothing could be more
coquettish than La Frigate perched on a
mass of auburn curls with a chou of nile
green tulle introduced on either side to-
ward the back to soften the lines. The
hull of the ship is of cardb covered
with red plush and bordered with gold.
The sailors are tiny dolls, the sails are of
lace and the masts are made of very light
wood. A ruche of the tulle encircles the
neck and decollete gown of pink makes
a charming ensemble.
The jockey is pretty design for Ma

colors may be selected, but for gray hair a

of whip and horseshoe design, and a gown
of old gold satin with regalia of hello
