colorings in delicate shades, with ten
deney to narrow stripes and small de-
signs, but white will be the favorite.
These softer and thinner materials neo-
essarily will cause a departure in the
methods of making up: requiring an
elaboration in striking contrast to the
stiff and severe tailor effects that we
had just worked up to. The tucks and
plaits that distinguished the spring cloth
dresses will be utilized even more eff
fectively in the cotton fabrics. Lace Of
all kinds will be used generously, both
for .edging and insertions. Embroid-
cries will be second in favor, although
handwork, such as hen1stitching and
fancy stitching of other sorts, will be
favored. AS a compromise between a
ready-made gown and ,one done to order,
the shops have the parts of dresses all

PHANTOMs DANCE.
New Idea for Arranging "a Pretty
COtiIIiOn.

New Idea for Arranging "a Pretty
COtiIIiOn.
Two bright girls who are Joint owners
in a smart little New York studio gave
ghost dance one night last week and
the Philadelphia girls who went over to
New York for it are talking about it as
one of the prettiest Of the season.
Ghost dances and phantom balls, to
which the dancers come monotonously
shrouded in white or gray, are, of course,
as old as our grandmothers. This New
York dance was founded upon a thor
oughly new idea, says Priscilla Standish
in the Philadelphia Press.
In the first place, each guest was asked
to come representing some ghost out of
the past. The spirit Of q certain day, @
certain era, certain idea or celebrated
character in the history of nation. A
character, naturally long since gathered
to the great majority.
And then throughout the evening each
masquerader was expected to act out the
ghostly parsonage chosen.
A girl who represented Marie Antoin-
cite, for example. initiated that fascinat-
ing and unhappy lady in phrases, gestures
and general bearing.
Now and then she made reference to
her life history in such way that, if
the other ghosts were alert, they could
gain some hint of the character she had
assumed. For all spirits come strictly
incognito. 1t proved to be gathering of
most interesting spectres. There were
historical and NEUROLOGICAL and folklore
ghosts; ghosts of fiction and nursery
tradition and sentiment Ghosts of past
days and long-ago love affairs and lovely
old-time festivals.
Many of the costumes were carried out
liant ones were draped in shading gauzes
and yelling, through which the lively
tints glimmered as lights through a fog
Of course, there were prizes. Three for
the three costumes adjudged most de-
lightful, and one or two fer the dancers
who had been most successful in divining
the characters of other ghosts.
