Paint Your Own Dress.

From Harper's Bazaar.
1t is becoming quite the fad for the girls
to paint their dresses, and If they come
cut this winter with some of the beautiful
specimens that they have shown TO their
friends they will indeed create sensation.
One girl is painting for herself an entire
front and trimmings for a bodice on black
mousseine de sole which is a work of art.
The design is red poppies and grasses, and
here and there she has put pretty little but
terf1ies with spangled wings and eyes. The
spangles, of course, have TO be sewed on,
and they add immensely to the effect. To
thoroughly complete her lovely costume
this young artist has made herself an ex-
quisite butterfly TO wear in her hair. II is
OF the same material as the gown black
mousselne de Sole and is painted IN exact
imitation of a butterfly she caught this
summer and kept to copy the coloring The
wings are wired with the finest wire, and the
head and body are made of black chenille.
The eyes are spangles, the horns or feelers
are plucked from a black aigrette she had,
and the wings are dotted here and there
with bright spangles. They are quite large,
being at least four inches wide at the top,
and the whole butterfly is so arranged on a
strong piece of bonnet-wire as to move
gracefully as she moves her head. The
girls had better get out their paint boxes
and set to work to paint pretty trimmings
for their gowns. They will be very expen-
sive to buy, and do not necessarily require
much artistic skill

Moro, San Cristobal and the palace, and

there was a sharp word of command fol-
lowed by a silence, during which weshard-

waited spellbound for the ushering in of a
new era in history. One would like to have
known the thoughts of those people, as
they listened in this impressive pause for
the guns that were to signify the fall of a
dominion of four centuries and the rise of a
new power and new civilization.

Slowly rose and the band played, amid the

flags floating from every mast and staff.
1t was a moment too impressive for words
"A moment when ones heart beats con-

moment that makes one proud of his race
