taken for their motto, Pleasure and
Charity"
This year the fetes of carnival. mid
Lent and spring are under the patron
age of the municipal administration,
the civil and military authorities and
their imperial highnesses the grand
dukes of Russia, who are prominent in
the society of the city and great IA
vorites with everyone, because of
their democracy.
The first fete of carnival had it's
formal opening in the grand charity
ball which was held in the Nice town
hall on Saturday at 10 p. m, the dane
ing continuing until nearly 6 o'clock
on Sunday morning. And because il
was given for charity, no one thought
of Sabbath-breaking. Ii is indeed
thought, in this city of pleasure, any
thing but breaking the seventh day.
Sunday was created, think the French,
for the pursuit of pleasure, and the
more they are able to have the better
the day.
On Thursday His Majesty King Of
the Carnival XXI arrived with his
brilliant suite. and at p. m. Sunday
was scheduled the fete on the avenue

A very practical bridal gift was re-
Gently made by a clever girl, and
tucked into the travelling bag of the
young wife. This is what it was: A
little bag of dainty lowered ribbon,
lined with soft pink silk. The bottom,
oval in shape, was stiffened with card
board. and the top was shirred and
tied with narrow pink ribbon. Inside
were spOols of thread, needles, pins,
thimble and a tiny pair of scissors
The whole affair was very small and
the contents only intended for emer-
gency use-the stitch in time. Just
an ordinary sewing bag, to be sure,
but a priceless boon to the bride, who
blessed the giver many times over
when she tore the braid off her dress

Novelties in Velvets.

novelty is the point d'esprit velvet,
whose ground has the appearance of a
network sprinkled with little dots.
Then there is the astrakhan and peau
de Mouton velvet, which is made to
initiate the curls and waves of the fur
after which it is called. Among the
new colors are the delicate soft rush
and palm greens, cramoisi and grena

such as beaver fawn and oyster. Plain
velvet is preferred for elaborate and
ceremonious costumes, but for day
frocks there is absolutely no limit to
choice.

Silk Null for Summer.

Silk null is to be one of the dress
materials for the season not only for

any afternoon occasion. Silk null is
really strong and does not crush and
will stand much wear. If the color is
good and l, is judiCiously trimmed one

meant the trimming around the bot
