the needed touch of chic.
Costume Dinners Again.
Costume dinners are the rage. The inaI-
gural one was given by the Vicomtesse de

1t was splendid affair. the hostess choos-

Marie de Medici costume, while other noble
and fashionable guests appeared in tho
costumes Of princes, peasants and common
ers of all countries and ages.
Another OF the seasons diversions Is the
presentation Of Japanese plays by society
amateurs. Since the appearances here Of
Sada Yaco and her company everything
Japanese has been favored. One Of the
smartest costume trimmings Is tho so-called
Japanese embroidery.

Fancy Flannel BIouses
Inc ornateness OF the flannel blouse IL
something at which to marvel A few
years ago. when some few thrifty souls
nrst exploited the possibility of tho wooden
blouse, nothing but scorn was their portion.
Now even the most elegant women have
some of them in their wardrobes. Literally
dreams are the blouses of white pressed
hannel OF the finest quality with silk en-
broidered cuffs, collars and bands. A pref
ty way to adorn these blouses is by the
adaptation of drawn thread embroidery and
the use of cross stitch and herrinS-boned
lines. One fetching blouse Of red cleyerly
utilized narrow velvet ribbon, drawn
through holes cut in the cloth Some
b!ouses are cut low to admit the use of
der many different guises Possibly the
most popular blouse is the gold-trtmmed

The House Belongings.
Dolls furniture is manufactured in Ger
many, although some of the finer sorts are
now turned out in this country. The SIM
pier furniture is constructed by boys, each
one making some one part of the entire
piece of furniture until he becomes so ex-
pert that he can do many pieces in short
time. There is no doubt that Yankee in
genuity could soon find a way to cheaper
the manufacture of the wooden furniture,
for much of the work could be done by
machines but In Germany labor is so cheap
that it Is not even worth while to subst
tute machine work for that of the hand
Picture books are, of course, all made
in America or England The majority Of
them are got out In this country. The books
for Christmas, 1901. are already under way
when those for 1900 are being sold

Toy dishes are made in American as we'll

dishes come from Dresden.
In some cities dolls bought in the shops
may be provided with a complete wardrobe

with the shopman from whom they are
bought. Many furriers will make doll furs,
and one Of them Is this year advertising

Although most of the toys are imported,
some of the big houses are now entering
into the business Of manufacturing certain
qualities of toys at home.

Holiday preparations are already on the
way. The holiday shopping Of the French

souvenirs to make glad the hearts of their
friends, but for clothing with which to
adorn themselves New Year day is the
one most celebrated in France fete,

y Therefore at this season one sees the
thrifty ones threading their way from shop

garb. The popularity of pdnne has been
great, but the hour of its glory is well
over. for it is now being well duplicated
in cheap grades of velveteen that it is

in excellent grades of the material. among
them a novelty in printed caSshmerian pat

bon. From the velvet trimmed band a
short, rounded cape Of plated chiffon fell
to about the length of the elbows. The coll
lar was a very high one, lined with fur.
The imitator's idea was to fill 1t in with
fluffy, shirred chiffon set upon a thckened
foundation of silk. From each side OF the
collar hung scarf ends of chiffon, crossed
by bands of chiffon ruching and held in
place above by rosettes of the same ma
terial.
New Slashcd sleeves.
Slashed sleeves are Northumberland the
slashes Of the golden times, but modern
application of the idea. A slashed gown OF
gray cloth was, for instance, cut in strips
to within a half yard of the waist and fell
from that over box plated underskirt of
orange satin.
One Of the latest fads is a powder sham
poo for the hair The hairdres ser who In
PRODUCED It is making a financial success of
the innovation. The man is very clever
builder of fashionable coiffureS and claims
that water and soap shampoo should not
be given to the hair oftener than twice a
year. For the liquid wash he substitutes
the shampoo of beautifully scented powder,
said to be made from mixture of -four,
orris root and perfumes To apply 1t the
hair is unbound, and the mixture brushed
through the hair. Then it is all carefully
brushed out and a lot of the powder
passed through the hair and over the scalp.
Three or four applications made in this
way and then, with brushes and combs OF
different sizes, the hair Is cleared Of the
powder. The hair is, of course. clcansed by
the process, but not so thoroughly as 1t
would be by shampoo.
Rather Odd style.

of wearing odd eardrops. Sometimes one

HOLIDAY SOUVENIRS
INEXPENSIVE TRIPLES THAT ARE
WELCOME GIFTS.

Written for The Evening Star.
There are a thousand and one trifles that
can be made at small expense for Christ
mas gifts. Deft fingers and a few clever
ideas are the principal requirements. In
these days of machine made trinkets, 80
many Of which are worthless, hand
made gift Is always acceptable.
The endless little trfies for a bed room,
laundry bags, shoe bags, bureau covers,
toilet sets, little bags for small pieces Of
soiled linen, such as handkerchiefs and
collars, that are always getting lost with
the larger pieces. All kinds of duster bags
and work bags. They all help to keep q
room tidy and will surely be appreciated
by any one who does not happen to possess
them. These can be made Of any kind Of
linen or silk, but the linen always seem SO
much more satisfactory, as they can be
washed and kept fresh. while the silk are
apt to soil more readily and are not so easy
to clean.
The mikado baskets and a Japanese doll
each of which may be bought for few
cents, make a useful and decorative hair
receiver. Another decorative article to
hang on the side of the mirror is a big
crimson pin cushion, made in the shape of
huge strawberry The husk is made of
green ribbon Little cases made with COM
partments and labeled with the days Of
the week are always nice TO give TO people
who have any engagements to keep track
Of.
A Japanese or Indian grass basket, rugged
with cottons of various numbers, scissors
and thimble, can easily be converted into
a useful Christmas gift.
There are endless little contrivances for
keeping bits of jewelry in. all Of which are
better than a Jewel case. Long strips Of
firm silk lined with eiderdown, with little
pads for pins and pockets for other articles.
make compact and very handy way of
keeping trinkets.
One clever woman has very good idea
for Christmas gifts this year. She has not
much money to spend and has to cover
quite little ground in the role Of Santa
Claus. She is making lamp shades, waste
paper baskets and picture frames out of
large decorative wall paper designs First
she makes the frames in pasteboard and
covers them with the paper. In many cases
she has gone to the people to whom she
intends the gifts and begged a few yards
Of their wall paper, in order to have the
gift match the ROOM In some cases she
has covered the shapes with burlaps and
then cut out the wall paper and applied the
design. These are very pretty and can be
made by any one. They have the effect of
water color paintings

Choice of JeweIry.

Every well-dressed woman now makes
quite study Of suitable jewelry to wear
with certain gowns. There is so much color
in the dainty neck chains. safety pin
brooches, etc. that they require careful
selecting. If the brown-eyed woman wears
amber or pink coral. let all the items of
jewelry correspond; the same with the blue
eyed woman who deepens the color Of her
eyes with blue stones. But do not wear an
amber chain with a turquoise brooch or q
blue neckchain with q pink bangle, ETC.
Keep to the color OF one stone. even to the
tiny pins that secure the lace jabot at your
throat Pink coral is extremely fashionable
just now as we'll as expensive. In the Ian
guage OF precious stones it Is supposed to
guard against danger and evil. Strings of
coral will be much worn as watch and lorg-
nette chains

by one of the great dressmakers. 1t is red,
of the shade of chrysanthemum, and
trimmed with rows of friils and bands OF
bruges lace. The gown is the one in which
madame expects to receive holiday callers
and IS made of the finest siciieGne. The
wide shoulder collar is draped with one
full of lace three four inches deep and
is cut in the back to point, from which
two double rows of lace frills are cascaded
down the back Of the robe. Three bands OF
narrow lace pass around the waist under
