foliage were entwined in graceful out
lines, and generally with a flowing
scroll of ribbon, true lovers knots and
bows.
The work is very fine and delicate
and we'll suited to small fancy articles
as sachets, notebooks, cushions or
screens, and it can be used in dress
trimmings. A dressmaker has prepared
a white satin skirt and embroidered it
up each seam with a suitable design,
and the effect is much improved by the
addition of spangles and sequins. The
bodice is also worked to correspond.
But, of course, such work must be done
most carefully or the beauty of the
whole dress would be spoiled. The
method of working is really very sim
pie, as each petal and leaf is formed by
the ribbon, which is threaded into the
needle and passed through the material,
and only occasionally stitch or two
needs to be added in fine sewing silk.
Small French knots are introduced as
centers to small flowers, and raised
flowers are worked by just gathering a
small portion of the ribbon into shape
before placing it where required.
Dinner table centers and doilies work
ed to match are pretty idea, and just
at this season, when there are large
house parties going on and where often
the resources of garden and greenhouse
are exhausted, decorative needlework
comes in most OPPORTUNITY.
In passing it may be suggested that
ON a large table broad ribbons can be
most effectively introduced, and these
must be arranged with regard to the sill
yer or other ornaments in hand for dec
grafton. Much depends upon the ar
rangements for lighting, whether can
dies, lamps or electric light be used.
Two broad ribbons twisting in and out
of the base of lamps, fowerpots or des-
sert dishes are most effective in two col
ors. Starting from the center and end
ing in bows at each corner, this is much
admired. and if candles are used or
shaded lamps their shades should match
the ribbon.

Great care should be exercised by gro

TWELFTH NIGHT FESTIVAL.
How Little Christmas' Is Celebrated.
Recipe For Twelfth Night Cake.

How Little -Christmas" Is Celebrated.
Recipe For Twelfth Night Cake.
The Twelfth Night. or Little Christ
mas was once time of great popular
festivity, and the inclination to resusci-
tate old customs and entertainments
has brought this day again into general
notice. Many families that have re-
manned in their country homes have al
ready hidden their friends for the 9th of
January and are preparing for their
amusement.
Originally the ceremony of Twelfth
Night was religious. That is altered
now, but the choosing of king of the
feast by means of bean hidden in a
Twelfth Night cake is still the princi-
pal feature of the festival The king
rules and directs all games and amuse-
ments, and each guest must be devot-
ed subject. At the coming festivities
the king will be the person who finds in
his portion of cake silver dime, and
his queen will be the guest lucky enough
to have the piece of cake containing a
silver thimble, the cake being passed
and each person cutting a portion. In
this connection q writer in the New
York Sun gives an old recipe for Twelfth
Night cake. This recipe will make a
very large cake, bnt it can be divided
when SO large loaf is not required:
Wash cups of butter and beat it
until it is creamy. Add 4 cups of
granulated sugar and the grated rind
and juice of a lemon. Stir into this
mixture the yolks of IL eggs, putting
in one at time, and beating it we'll
before adding the next one. Dissolve
teaspoonful of soda in 2 cups of milk
and gradually stir into the other ingre
dents. Add 3 cups of sifted flour
and then part of the whites of the dozen
eggs beaten to a stiff froth. Add 8
more cups of -four, with 2 teaspoon
fuls of cream of tartar, and then the re-
naming eggs, and last 2 cups of flour.
Flavor with wine or a little brandy.
Put the cake mixture into large round
pan lined with buttered paper. Place
the silver pieces ON opposite sides of the
cake and stick broom splint in the
! side of the cake to show which is Tor
the men.
The old custom was to put in the cake
| a bean and a pea to determine who
should be king and queen. Put the pan
| containing the cake in moderate oven
| and let the cake bake slowly at first
and cover the top with a paper if it
| should brown too rapidly. When the
cake is baked, it should be covered with
thick white frosting, ornamented
around the upper edge of the cake with
a wreath formed of the frosting and
candied violets, rose leaves and cherries
and diamond shaped leaves cut from
thin slices of citron and stuck here and
| there.
| A toy Christmas tree about six inches
high, such as can be bought at any toy
store, should be placed in the middle OF
the cake Christmas decorations are ap-
| propriate for a Twelfth Night party.

loop of ribbon or bow. will take the
place of coil. The short lengths should
then be curled, waved and pulled. In
this way the head will be loosely dress
ed and the effect required will be Sc
cured.
1t seems accepted that the outline of
the head at the back must not be fol-
lowed. In case of the much to be de-
sired stacks the great coils or loose
loops sufficiently disguise at that point,
but where the hair is thin the outline
must be hidden by fuffed out locks.

means that the hair must be absolutely

PRETTY NEW MATERIALS.

Among the favorite materials for
young women's evening dresses this
season are thin broche silks, in delicate
colors, light, fancy crepons china Grape
and india satins and silks.
Astrakhan is at present the favorite
fur trimming. For ornamenting vests
and jackets it is put on in narrow bands
like fold. A wider band is used for
trimming the collar. Next to astrakhan
is caracul.
Some Of the prettiest crepons and
grapes are brocaded with tiny buds,
dots and specks, and on white and deli
cately tinted grounds beautiful brocad-
ings are shown in turquoise blue, vel
low and light green.
Shot taffeta is the favorite silk for
making underskirts. For everyday
skirts moreen and shot mohair are suit-
able, giving excellent wear. Figured
silks are much used for shirt waists
and dressy bodices to be worn with diff
ferent skirts.
For late winter and early spring wear
