5 THE WOrIAN OF TO-DAY q
I'll lg


Notwithstanding the fact that st. Val
entine's Day has fallen this year on Sun
day, there have been more preparations
for its celebration in a social way in The
various cities throug hout the country
than for that of any other holiday OF the
year except Christmas. In some respects
this day has taken the place OF the
Twelfth Night OF our ancestors. 1t is
considered the most appropriate season
for costume parties, and many OF the old
customs for determining ones future
have become Il part of this days amuse-
nents.
MIS-. Bradley-Martin's much talked of
costume ball mt the Waldorf Hotel in
New York was practically Valentine
dance, occurring, as it did, only four days
after the actual saints day, and, as de-
velopments proved, there were reasons FOR
1t. Such entertainments are not only ENJOY
able, but instructive as well, especially to the
young people Nothing in the world wotld
impress the youthful mind with an idea Of
the colonial period OF our own country's $
history SO much asa costume party repre-
senting various characters of prominence at
that time. 1t is Of especial advantage to
society ladies during the present craze for
everything that is nediaeval to have an
incentive to study up the history of the
period, whose furniture they rave over
and whose costumes they attempt to copy.

skirt in front gave touch to the costume
suggestive of the empire, but not at all
out OF date for the most fashionable ball
of the present. There was a slight train,
which is an indicationsof the trend OF
the time, for, sad to relate, we are again
threatened with long skirts. There is n
fashion OF draping lace or silk edged with
lace SO as to fall in a flounce over the
edge of the corsage, which is very popular
1t is usually in some light, dainty tint, and
is caught up in some cases with gold or
ieweled buckle. one of these dresses is
shown among those worn by the Valentine
girls in the Illustration. This gown has
aniunense bunch OF flowers at the bottom
OF the skirt, which just redaelns ii from
plainnesS.
Lace flounces often form the only sleeves
to an evening gown, though they generally
have q slight silk puff or ruffle underneath
to make them stand out as they should.
Two fIounces of wide lace headed with
silk band, above which flounce is gath
cred to stand up at the shoulder form the
sleeves of one Of the Valentine dresses.
Applique trimming Of lace and braid with
a wreath of flower RS at the top adorns the
bodice.
There is tendency to use coiors OF de-
cided tint, and there is no mista king the

tween uagentas and cerises to puzzle the

up at him titnidly.

Then the trainmen came running through

the drummer came down the aisle and
beckoned to me.

We urged her to go with us to our hotel,
but she politely refused, and SO got her a

as she would let me in the ladies' room.
Late at night went down to the station
and silent and deserted pushed the door
