L WELFTH NIGHT REVELRY.
SOME OF THE FESTIVITIES THAT ARE
APPROPRIATE TO ITS CELEBRATION.

The custom of celebrating Twelfth Night is be-
coming more popular in this country with each
year, and the festivities, as a rule are based upon
some ceremonial of ancient times. The festival is
celebrated on January 6. twelve days after
Christmas known in the religious world as the
Epiphany This word being Greek. establishes the
fact that the festival is of Eastern origin in
the Greek Church it has always been held the
most important next to Easter.
1t is customary in giving house parties at this
season to invite the guests from Christmas until
Twelfth Night, when the festivities are brought TO
a close with old time masque The Twelfth
Cake. a long established feature of the day. is
prepared and within it is hidden a bean. At the
opening of the masque the cake is cut and divided
by lot and the who gets the piece containing
the bean is crowned the king the queen. and
Immediately chooses a king queen for partner.
AS soon as the king and queen announced they
are under the constant observation of their sub
jects, and whatever they do is Immediately
mented upon. In a short time there is perfect
uproar. THE king drinks" THE queen speaks -
or Her Majesty laughs etc This is kept up
for a time. There also games. music and
dancing.
Frequently there will be two cakes one for men
and one for women and then the latter will

cepted as the queen. The royal personages are
thrones which arranged4w with effect on a dais

A pleasing feature is to present a short costume
play of a quaint and Oldtime theme.
Twelfth Night cards in olden times often as
signed the characters to be assumed. The cards
could be bought in packages, and each illustrated
a character. These were put into a bag and were
drawn out by the guests in turn.
The modern Twelfth Cake generally has hidden

indicates wealth, the ring welded happiness or

HINTS FOR AN AIGLOy LUNCHEON.

The vogue of Rostand's dramatic vision OF the
brief and youthful ambition of the "EagIet,"
Napoleon's I'll starred son, the Due de Reichstadt
has naturally prompted many givers OF enter
tainments to fashionable novelty in an
Aiglon luncheon, which can be simply and effec-
lively arranged. To begin with, for such func-
ton the cloth of white should have as decoration
little china dishes in the shape of feur de lis the
national flower Of France. These be obtained
in the china department OF any large store, the
shape having been for long time considered
staple seller. FIJI these dishes with red and blue
blossoms IL flowers cheap; IL not, use the
dishes for red and blue bonbons or for salted
almonds, with tiny French flags stuck in them
intervals. If the hostess owns a red luncheon
cloth, this can be utilized effectively with broad
bands OF white satin ribbon laid diagonally across
II. On the white ribbon few ViOets be r
ranged. In all cases the centrepece OF AiglOn
luncheon table should be eagle holding in his
beak a FRENCH flag. The bird be a feathered
creation obtained from taXiderniSt, a plaster of
paris cast or a carved wooden image of own
National emblem. The faVorS should be bonbon-
neres in the shape OF eagles Little three cOrnered
hats should hold the ices, and If the hostess de-
be somewhat eXtraVagant she give
each guest a souvenir in the form of a sword
shaped hat lace pin. AS far possible the
dishes should be in red and blue coorngs II a
white cloth is used, or blue when the red and
white ribbon employed. On the napkins In

The following menu. with its red and white
dishes, would be in keeping with the occasion:

POPULARITY OF VELVET AND vELvETEEN
sUITS-GRACEFUL COLLARS

The fashion for velvet has extended TO suits
for little boys. and as rule nothing is more be-
coming TO them Mothers generally have special
affection for such suits because they represent the
last picturesque stage of their boys dress before
the long reign of prosaic striped and black
coats and waistcoats.
To begin with. black velveteen knee breeches
always look well when worn with pretty silk
sailor blouse and veveteen jacket decorated with
big buttons, the frilled collar OF the silk blouse
being worn outside Two pictured in the groups
of boys this page, the first showing a jacket
trimmed with silken braids and cords
For rather older boy a 'boatswains suit is
especially suitable with silk blouse made without
sleeves, but with very deep collar, which gives a
stylish finish the coat.
A pretty effect can be given TO velvet suit by
the addition of deep collar and cuffs of lace as
shown upon the second boy. The open fronted
jacket disclOses deep vest Of white silk buttoned
up the centre. The third suit is pictured in cloth.
