worn with white Isle stockings, and
last-but far from least-tarlatan
moth wings cupningly painted by
hand, with the velvety splotches of the
insect, completed the costume. Every
body said "Oh!" in surprised admira-
ton when Titania bounded into the
gathering.
The possibilities of lamp-shade
paper are endless for modest functions
in fancy dress. This inexpensive tex
ture can be made to conceive the most
charming flower and vegetable effects.
At a donkey party lately given, the
little guests, dressed entirely in this
crinkled paper, were seen as carrots,
ibeets, lettuce, cabbages, celery and
what not--these costumes making the
placing of the donkey's tail an addi-
tional amusement.
You know" the grown-ups were
told, "donkeys eat vegetable" And
as solemnly as a downy young owl,
an adorable little maid, attired as d
tettuce placed herself tantalizingly
within reach, though the dangerous
donkey was only an outline drawing
on a white sheet.
1t may be objected that the paper
costumes do not last, but except in
the case of very strenuous service they
do astonishingly well, and, as they
have the advantage of costing next
to nothing, every function can be
celebrated in Il new get-up.
A young school ma'am," who is
most felicitous in teaching the chill
dren of the fashionable, uses paper
dolls as one medium of instruction.
Each child chooses some character in
history, dresses the doll after the
painted design, and gives a statement
on the personage's place in the
world.
Entertainment and knowledge can
be derived from fancy dress party
gotten up in this way, and as the lamp
shade paper is 50 cheap it would not
matter if few creations were spoiled
before the right things was con
ceiVed.
If expense is no object, and the
grown-ups are to have all the fingers
in the pie, Vatican PARTIES with

and Laurie laughed grimly
Mr.. Beechwood chuckled. my
brother was a true American. He
had mo- patience with men who
amassed millions and then sent the
money out of the country-with their

AS the friends smoked on in silence
the warm breeze brought to them
Dorothy's "ohs" and "ahs," and the

"Bosh!" sneered Laurie. How can

up to you to teach her what the real
price is, my boy, and if you won't
well, it's your own fault"
Next morning Mr.. Beechwood found
himself alone with his niece. He was
pacing the deck with his cigar, and
she was fitting with her elbow on the
rail, gazing dreamily at a ship of the
desert" with it's be-fezzed Arab mo-
tionless under a palm.

said teasingly. and punched her cheek.

disagreeable that nobody can care for

Her uncle put his arms around her.

ROMANCE AND A MILLION
BY N. A. COX.
Confound that Dago!"

"Confound that Dago!"
Mr.. Beechwood only laughed for
answer, whereat Laurie Anderson saw
agely tossed his half-smoked cigar
into the dark, mysterious waters of
the Nile.
What is it that's so humorous he
asked.
The friends (and cronies, too, de-
spite the difference in their ages) were
sitting aft, and gazing forward
through the blue Egyptian light at two
vague white figures close together in
the bow of the dahabeah.
You're here guardian. Why don't
you stop that tomfoolery?"
What's the use?" and the older
man puffed away till his cigar rivalled
the brightest star in heaven. whats
the use of raising a rumpus when it'll
stop itself in time?"
In time" Laurie rose in his wrath.
Dear heaven, man, can't you see
she's falling in love%
"Falling?" Mr.. Beechwood chuckled.
Failing, Ell? Why, man, dear, she's
been in love ever since she could tod
die, and with you-yes, you! But she
don't know it-yet! This Dagoll give
her a jolt, and then she'll look into
her own heart-she never has so far
and find out the truth
Laurie rose and tramped the deck
impatiently. His friend was evidently
in his dotaSe!
Mr.. Beechwood smoked on calmly.
Come, my boy" said he, trust an old
bachelor for knowing something of a
woman's heart. Dolly loves you, but
she doesn't know it, She rather thinks
she hates you-at times. But a word,
a look, touch-God knows how these
things come about!-a little careful
introspection on her part then she will
know! Meanwhile, handle with care
women are incomprehensible beings"
If it were true! If Dorothy loved
him. But no, no; it was impossible.
Laurie sank into a deck chair. and re-
manned scornfully silent.
His friend went on :

knows it, everybody but Dolly herself

of one of her little twin daughters.
Everybody came dressed as a doll
and tried to dance like one.
The dresses were the short, elabo-

which the imported toys always dis
play. The slippers were heelless
strap affairs, the frilled hats very big,

RENovATINa OLD SCREENS

How They May Be Recovered and
 Made More Attractive.
 A simple and inexpensive method of renovating an old screen is to cover 1t with heavy wall paper, either a plain paper of damask or sateen-like surface or one showing a large floral pattern, says the Pittsburg Press. The first proceeding is to measure a fold of the screen with great accuracy and then with very sharp scissors to cut the paper to 1t exactly inside the sur rounding frame, which incloses the cloth of the previous covering.
 : Have in readiness some thin glue. and with this quickly brush over the edges Of your paper. An inch or two is sufficient. If too much glue Is applied it will cause the paper to cookie. Ap- ply the strip deftly to the screen, and with a soft, clean cloth press it firmly into contact. Proceed in like manner with each fold, laying the screen fiat upon a large table for greater ease in working. ,sn..... ... .,
 Sometimes the edges do not require any kind of finish, but when this seems desirable q narrow border of gold Japanese leather paper or round brass headed nails serves the purpose admirably. It is quite easy to obtain q richer effect by employing one of the beautiful Japanese leather papers which are now to be had in all sorts of different designs and at almost any price. These are applied in exactly the same manner. ~
 
 A screen of plain paper may in sev- eral different ways be rendered more ornamental. One method is to mount good sized photograph in bromide or platinotype on each flap near the top, Or if desired more than one print may be employed, these being arranged symmetrically against paper of suit able tone. This plan appeals specially to the photographer.
 Another pretty way of rendering a plain screen more attractive is to hang upon 1t any small miniatures, pictures, bas-reliefs, bits of silver, medals, coins and so on. Not only does this serve to turn the screen into a feature in it. self, but 1t is an ideal way of display ing little objets dart of this kind.
