Court costumes and historical costumes OF all
sorts are always favoritos In fancy dress for
those who can indulge In the handsome ma
terlals needed to make them n success; and this
season is no exception. But in England, where
fancy dress balls flourish, there seems to be an
inclination to assume characters of a bright,
CHEEKY nature. such as flowers and fruits or
anything comic. Women array themselves as
clowns In Powered TUNES, with long cape sleeves
and vatican train over Turkish trousers,
such as Harlequin with q short skirt,
long close sleeves. and q low bodice OF alternate
iamonds in red and yellow. Cupid's postwoman

in the woods and on the farms and are
constantly surrounded BY wild creatures,

fond Of reproducing the things thoy see. Some
are taught 10 carve 0s = trade. others take to it
naturally. The wood used Is principally apple

carved are left just In the natural shades of the
wood, either light or dark, without any colorinR

Pretty New Suggestions for Costumes Out or

The season for fancy dress balls is now at it's

the particular garb which can transfer their

fiction. 1t is not necessary to originate new
costumes; but you must use good Judgment
