how to fashion it, but a safer plan is
to buy a pattern. Sun-bonnets also
make pretty favors for piquant faced
girls, and are especially dainty when
fashioned of Dresden papers. Pliable
cardboard should be used for the
foundation.
The boa may be a shirred affair with
long streamers of the same. A stole
effect is also pretty. Those made en-
tirely of rose or poppy petals are in
favor as well as those fashioned to
represent feathers. To make the lat
ter cut one roll of crepe paper-pre-
ferably plain black, or all white
in half each strip Of which will be ten
inches deep. Fold each strip length
wise in the middle and slash in one
fourth in strips about four inches
deep. When both strips are slashed,
furl the fringe over the end of d
penholder, picking up several ends at
time. When completed, pleat the
strip in the center in box-pleats, pick
ing out the feathery ends to make it
look more like an ostrich plume.
To make the parasols. cheap little
affairs may be purchased at a 10-cent
store for the foundation. When lined
inside with plain tissue paper and
covered outside, they are very charm
ing. A bewitching one is lined with
white tissue paper. The outside is COW

an inverted full blown rose.
In making tissue paper flowers it is
well to remember that the calyxes,
stamens, centers, leaves, ETC., may be
purchased ready made" if desired,
which will save considerable trouble,
especially if time is precious.
AS to the figures for a german, they
will depend upon the ingenuity of the
leader and host. A very pretty figure
is the harness" The leader will select
six girls and his companion seven
men. A harness of ribbons, with bells,
is supplied, and the women are driven
around the room six abreast The
seven men start in the same manner,
meeting in the center of the room
where great fun ensues in the effort to
secure a partner, the seventh man re-
firing.
picturesque floral fancy is the fol-
lowing: The leader and his companion
waltz. The former then selects three
girls whom he names Violet Rose,
Carnation. Taking them to two men
he requests them to make a choice of
a flower. They do so and dance with
the flower of their selection, while the
third dances with the leader. Mean
time his partner should select three
men, naming them Bachelors Button,
Bleeding Heart and Sunfiower. Two
women are then asked to make a Sc
lection, the remaining man dancing
with the leader.
No german would be complete with
out an abundance of confetti and SER
pentine, and in the last figure, when
all the dancers are on the floor, a
pretty conceit may be carried out as a
surDlfse. This can only be accom-
plished in a good-sized room.
In view of this feature, temporary
pillars should be erected for the occa-
sion the day before the affair, one in
the center of the room and at least six
around the space allotted to the
dancers. These pillars" are nothing
more than hollow wooden posts which
may be rented from any reliable con-
tractor. They are set in standards
which will keep them in position with
out the slightest danger. Bunting, flags
and greenery should cover them, and
from the top of the center an immense
Old Glory should wave its folds.
From pillar to pillar, around and
overhead, should be placed a network
of invisible wire. When the dancers
are all on the floor the guests outside
the posts should surround the circle
and surprise the dancers by throwing
red, white and blue seRDentine and
confetti over the wipes.4 The result will
be a patriotic bower which will final
ly become so covered that the serpen-
tine will fall between the wires and
the dancers will find themselves en-
meshed in q labyrinth OF the paper
ribbons.
