PREPARING FOR MARDI GRAS.
Many Months of Time and Many
Thousands of Dollars Are Ex-
pended i'm the work,

The time required for the produe-
ton of the so odd floats that enter
each year into the carnival parades--
day and nights something like eight
months, SO that work must be yigor=
ously prosecuted from early July In
order to have the floats in finished
shape by the following February. The
work is done under the strictest pledge
of secrecy, no one being permitted to
enter the storage barns; and no in
formation is obtainable as the the SUBJ
iect to be presented, so that curios-
ity plays very important part in the
festivities of the carnival.
The cost of producing each COM
pleted float ranges from $500 as a min
imum to double that amount, or even
more, as the work is more or less Or
nate. The float cartoons that are In
SEPARATIONS for the artists are accom-
panied by elaborate sketches of each
of the hundred costumes that must
be worn by those actually participat-
ing in the parade. These are done in
wster-colors upon cardboards little
larger than an imperial photograph.
They show color and other details. The
names of the materials that enter into
the costumes are given on these cards,
and they are subject to criticism by
the design committee, writes W. G.
Bowdoin, In Woman's Homo Compan-
ion.
While these things are taking place,
all the floats are in the hands of their
creators, and work is done from de-
signs about 20 times the size of the
costume-cards. in which the characters
are posed sthey will appear upon the
floats in the street-parade. When no
seeming flaw remains, set, accom-
panied by the individual costume-cards,
is sent to Paris or to some home city,
where the costumes are manufactured.
Each suit is Numbered and packed In q
separate case. The costumes are usu-
ally delivered during the early part of
December, after which they are re-
moved to the 'den," where they are ar
ranged on long pine tables, each suit
surmounted by its appropriate picture.
The members are kept busy for weeks
having their costumes fitted by tail
oTs, armorers and milliners. When all
preparations are at last finished the
various costumes are replaced in their
several boxes, which are kept locked
until the eyentful day or night when
they are to be publicly used.

for years. Sulphur is considered very
effective for this purpose, and prep
aration of sulphur and lanolipe has
been known to put off the evil day con-
siderably.
Green soap is an indispensable prep
aration to the woman who would pre-
serve the lustre and richness of her
hair. 1t is prepared and prescribed by
all persons who make a speciality of
scalp treatment. The following recipe
was obtained from the wife of a prom.
inent physician, who prepares the
liquid soap for her husband, Take
equal parts of the very best green
CASTLE soap, water, alcohol and glycer-
inc. Heat the water and shave the
soap into 1t. Then stir it over the fire
until it is perfectly smooth. Add the
glycerine and stir again very thor
oughly. The alcohol is added last of
all. mixed with two ounces of essential
oil Of any preferred scent. A small
quantity OF oil Of 0rris gives a sugges-
ton or violet, while oil of Verbena or
oil of sweet geranium gives an old
fashioned, wholesome scent. OF course
the alcohol is volatile and inflammable
and should not be carelessly distrib-
uted over q hot fire; otherwise, green
soap making is extremely simple
