Since all smart society is copying the
English fashions and methods of life-and
in many instances improving greatly upon
the original-t1le afternoon tea has come
to be recognized as the time when all the
guests meet for a dish of tea, and gossip.
The girl who keeps in the front of Fash
ions procession will provide herself with
as many of the fetching teagowns as her
ingenuity will provide or her purse afford.
In the soft, half lights when it is too dusk
to read or sew and still to early for the
lights witching woman in the flowing,
classical draperies which characterize the
teagewn will take on an added charm in
the eyes of her masculine friends, and
many q conquest has been made over the
tea cups.
And in its recrudescence the teagown
has taken on new and more fascinating
features than ever. Sun plating and ac-
cordian plating are used in a thousand
different ways, and all Of the beautiful
gowns which the beauties of the first
empire wore are being copied to-day for
the beauties Of the new century.
For the debutante to wear for the
evening festivities there is simple little
gowns Of wolfe and mousseline and the
new double chiffon. These are made in
the quaint styles which our grandmothers

~ oNG age when Thanksgiving was
S first invented, the Thanksgiving
s. - dinner became the feature of the
occasion, and all the, family came
s - from near and far to be present at
the parent board. Even as long ago
as the Plymouth Rock colony the Thanks
giving. dinner was made an excuse for
donning the best gowns that the housewife
and her guests possessed. Grandma
brought out her black silk and her real
lace cap and lappets. and her finery set
the pace for all the others to follow.
Nowadays the party idea still holds good,
but 1t is more likely to be a house party In
the country. Now that people are be-
coming more and more enamored Of coun-
try life 1t is quite the correct thing to
have Thanksgiving house parties, week
end house parties, birthday house parties
i'm short, any excuse is good enough to
be seized upon for a house party
In the comparatively narrow circle
which a house party affords, ones pet pos
sessions in the way of frills and fur be-
lows are likely to become rather well
known and therefore it behooves the clev-
er girl to plan her expenditures SO that she
can have quite a change Of costumes, and
a plentiful supply of the little accessories
which go so far toward making one look
trie and stylish 81

FASHION OF DOG SHOWS
SETBY QUEEN VICTORIA

There are very many Of us old enough
to remember when bench shows were not
so popular as they are to-day, says the
Illustrated Sporting News. There can be
little doubt that good deal of the extra
interest in these exhibitions has been
brought about by the greater and more
general patronage accorded to them by
the ladies Of the world, not only in the
northern hemisphere, but south OF the
line also. In the old days--for instance,
two decades ago--there were a few lady
exhibitors, some of whom are still alive
and as keen as ever in their hobby, but
then mere man was greatly in the ma
competitors; now, however, there are all
most as many women as men who not
only show but lead their dogs into tho
ring to be judged.
About fifteen years before her death
Queen Victoria, who owned a large ken
mel Of Pomeranians. collies fox terriers,
skye terriers, Dandie Dimont terriers,
some of the leading affairs, with the re-
suit that the women Of England at once
followed the good example Of their sover-
eign, who loved her dogs, and wished them
to be good looking and well bred. At the
same time the present queen, Alexandra,
was assiduous In the care and manage
ment OF her kennel and poultry yards at
Sandringham, and sent exhibits under the
management OF her head kennelman,
Brunsden, to events all over the country,
as she does o-day. Only those who have
followed the events Of the kennel world
during the last decade, and the remark
able rise in the number OF women extaibi-
tors, can recognize that the fashion so set
by persons In high places has had the eff
feet OF bringing about the present con-
dition of affairs. Is
Thus has the science Of hound and dog
breeding descended from mother to
daughter, as assuredly as 1t has from
father to son. But in this year OF grace,
women are further ahead In the knowledge
Of these four footed creatures, whether
they be of the house order or OF the more
responsible and hardy kind-those Of the
chase or Of the field. The bench show is
now an Institution among ladies general

it may be profit.

an important part in the games but they
should be appropriate rather than elab-
crate. The menu should be simple that
the joy of the occasion may not be married
later with misery and mustard plasters.
The gift surprise is the joy Of all. A rose
tree, gife ball or one Of the many new and
charming devices for hiding toy which
originated with the old fashioned but ever
popular Jack Homer pie is the most
suitable ending for a successful party"
For the Thanksgiving party one Of the
games suggested is a vegetable race, In
which two rows Of vegetables, half a
dozen in EACH are placed eighteen inches
apart. At the end of each row Of car
rots, beets. turnips and potatoes Is
basket and two players start at the
same time to carry the vegetables to the
basket in a dessert spoon. The one who

the first round contest. When there Is
but one player left undefeated he is pre-
scented with a papier mache carrot or
beet filed with candy.
An Indian part is a suggestion which
will please the children. for they are to
come in Indian trappings and have races.
shoot at a mark with bow and arrows,
and have a basket weaving and bead
stringing contest. Picture writing Is IL
Illustrated by inserting pictures in place
of nouns in some familiar verse Of sFIia-
watha' and asking the guests to rewrite
the poem. The prizes should be BIRCH
bark baskets filled with maple sugar.
A circus will be quite as popular and
as easily carried out, with mechanical
toys, pink lemonade and peanuts galore.
A Christmas game Is combined from the
familiar poem, THE Night Before Christ
mas and the old fashioned stage coach
play. The children are named for the
reindeer, Sleigh toys, chimney stockings
and so forth. and as each name Is men
toned the child representing it rises and
turns around. AT the name st. Nicholas
secure a place. and the one displaced be-
comes leader.
These are but a few Of the many good
times which are told of In the little blue
volume which will make of children's par
ties a new pleasure to the small guests
and a simpler function for the mothers.
