PERSONAL AND SOCIETY
PAPER ARTICLES As FAyoRs FOR
THE COTILLON.
Suggestions for the Designs-PrO-
gramIne for Clubs During
the Coming Week.

With the many pretty fancy papers which
have been brought out for lamp shades
have come some other uses. and one Of
the quaintest is for cotillions. All of the
favors for the figures are made of or
trimmed with the paper. One is the hat
figure Tie ladies receive large picture
hats and the men receive sombreros. For
another figure the ladies have crooks and
the men canes. The former have large
bows fastened to them and the latter are
wound with the paper. For another figure
the ladies have aprons and the men have
capes. In still another figure the ladies have
sashes and the men neckties. The favoTs
for the flower figure are flowers of paper
great punches of roses and chrysanthe-
NUNS for the ladies and boutonnieres of vi
Diets or carnations for the men. An inge-
Nous hostess can also originate ways of
forming the paper for certain figures. A
hat. crook, apron and bouquet make quite
a costume. and it is exceedingly pretty. A
small cotillion at private ballroom, the
Propylaeum or the Brenneke Academy, with
paper entirely for the favors. would make
a desirable prelenten entertainment.

out into the coolest part of the twenty-four
hours with my thinest gown and wraps

not see that we are any the worse for it"
At a recent company a debutante of the
season received many flowers that she
did not know what to do with them all. Not
only was the mantel and two tables in the
room where she stood laden with them but
some of them found place in other rooms
After all of the company had gone, she
DOTTED her pretty gown, put on u slip an6
gathered all the flowers and arranged them
so that they would remain fresh, and the
following day sent part of them TO friends
who were sick, and a good share of then
to one of the hospitals, saving only a few
p grace her own home.
The story is told of young lady, whC
has recently come to indianapolis. She was
christened Jane. When she was very small
she insisted on plucking the flowers from
her mothers bed or daisies. Her mother
threatened punishment one day in the pres
ence of a visitor. Not long after, the same
visitor reappeared, bearing a large daisy
root and said please plant this for Jane
so that she may pick the flowers whenevel
she wants to-" Jane was delighted anC
pointed out the flower to every one, saying
MY daisy" She did this so often that The
family and friends called her Daisy and sh'
is still Daisy to them. To her college mates
and to her new friends she is Miss Jane.
