A Trounnenu Hint.

A beautiful royal blue velvet gown
destined for rousseau of this month
is made en- princesse. The "overgown"
is cut up over a skirt of scintillating Sc
quined net, of which the sleeves also
are formed, with curious winglike dra-
peries of mousseline de sole shading
from blue to an exquisite wine color.
This is a most peculiar gown of art
nouveau conception. In the corsage are
two huge shaded purple and blue pan
sizes. The sequins of which the en-
broidery is formed throw purple and
blue lights as the wearer moves.

How to Spend New Years Day

RHE problem of how to spend
New Years day is a more Sc
rious one than it was a few
years ago. Then it was sim
pie matter for the young ladies to re-
main at home. while the young gentle
men. attired in their best, called to ex-
tend good wishes for the new year. But
now by general accord it is regarded as
bad form to pay visits on the first day
OF January.
New Years has none of the religious
atmosphere which pervades the Christ
mas; it is merely a holiday which hap
pens to be the beginning of an artificial
period of time fixed by man. The form
al calling was a pleasant and, it must
be admitted. an appropriate recogni-
ton OF the significance of the holiday.
But now that this has been done away
with and there has been offered no sat
isfactory substitute hostesses are cast
ing about for some pleasant way in
which to spend the day. The decadence
of New Years as a calling day has had
the excellent effect of causing families
TO regard it as an appropriate time for
reunions, and intimate friends fire.
quently hold informal gatherings. Trips
to the city are INDUCED in by many
persons living in rural communities
and nearly every household celebrates
the ADVENT of the new year with games
and simple home amusements as ad-
juncts to the stereotyped Happy New
Years"
In the straining after appropriate en-
tertainments for New Years a great
many more or less freakish efforts have
been made. One of the most unique of
last season was that of a Chicago lady,
which she called a ghost party. Only
intimate friends we're invited, and the
Invitations were not sent out until the
morning of New Years day. The beau
ty of this entertainment is that 1t re-
Quires no preparation, as when the
things mentioned as having been en-
ployed are not to be had others equally
appropriate will readily suggest them
selves
At the Chicago ghost party all the
decorations were of the hair raising
variety. The invitations were sent out
on square cards having a deep border
of black, the regular thing used by per-
sons in first mourning. They read,
you are asked to meet the departing
spirits of the year at a wrath reunion"
These cards for obvious reasons were
fnclossd in white envelopes. The deco
rations for the ghostly party were
trif1e troublesome and required lot of
thinking along rather grewsome lines,
but they were not at all expensive.

the gloom in the region of the ceiling.
About the room was hung southern
moss-the long, gray kind. From the
chandelier swung an artificial spider.
Over the floor, making anything but a
bed of roses for the unwary foot tread,
were artificial toads, spiders and I'M
comfortable specimens of this charac-
ter. To add to the horrors, in one
corner of the room was a table on
which was an enormous snake made
by coiling an old yellow and black drop
light tube and adding a snakes head
formed of paper. 1t sounds quite inof-
fensive, but when seen in the gloom of
its surroundings and placarded BE

- ARTS, Dec 17.-Paris has been
called ''the paradise of woman
and the city of flowers" This
u season the gay capital is GER
tainly UNFOLDING her reputation for both
these charming productions The pop
ular florists shops are bright with ivy,
mistletoe and seasonable flowers to
greet the happy new year, and the
boulevards are transformed into beau
tiful winter gardens gay with buds
and half and full blown roses" of the
lovely feminine variety.
A custom peculiar to the French is
that of giving presents not only at
Christmastide, but on the first day of
the new year. Another even more COM
mendable practice is that of actually in
their lives and not alone in their hearts
freely acknowledging the faults and
little differences which during the old
year have been making the rift within
the lutte of friendship. Family quarrels
are adjusted. and the new years bells
ring in a real good will toward men,"
But to come back to the more material
present giving part of the celebration.
These offerings usually take the form
of some dainty trifie. preferably in the
sweetmeat line. All manner of topical
suggestions are constructed and act as
receptacles for the marrons glaces and
chocolates which the shops are so al
iurlngly displaying. The airships of
last year are put out of favor by the
miniature carriages of the popular
metro" type. which have been copied
in exact detail and, open to disclose
rows of bonbonS-
1t is a pleasing custom to place
more valuable souvenir in these bon
bonnieres. Bracelets. rings and pend
ants are often found by the lucky re-
cipient on opening an ingenious lid or
miniature door
The Paris toy merchants are also
about, and from the Madeleine to the
Place de TOpera these vendors are sta
toned. making merry with the crowd
and setting their toys spinning for the
amusement of passersby.
In more exclusive precincts and
among the smart set children's costume
parties are the amusement par excel
lence. The great couturieres- skill is
called into play to costume many of
the small tots, for everything down to
the rosette on the slipper has to be alb
solutely correct according to the period
represented.
We have become a little weary of
fairies. Red Riding Hoods and the like,
and the periods beginning with the
reign of Louis XIV. and ending with
the advent of the second empire are the
ones selected to be represented at the
smart New Years party. One of the
costumes designed for tot of high es-
tate shows all the luxury of the Louis
XIV. era and might stand for Nine
Pompadour herself. The gown is of
pale pink satin, with a raised embroid-
cry of pink roses and leaves. The little
Louis Jacket opens over a vest of old
fashioned striped pea green silk. The
jaunty chapeau set on the little lady's
powdered curls is a tiny tricorne of
white felt trimmed with white feathers.
A fan of the period. high stick Jewell
ed at the top and a few coquettish
beauty spots on the rouged cheeks will
transform this modern French maiden
into a replica of one of her ancestors.

The decorations were carried out with
New Years bells arranged on rustic
arehed centerpieces made of twigs
trimmed with holly and mistletoe,
which should appear as if growing from
bank of scarlet euphorbia, scarlet
carnations and lilies of the valley. All
of these things can be made from the

Fad. For Evening Toilets.

Clusters of pink roses with white
frosted leaves are very much used as a
supplementary adornment to the even
ing gowns of today. For the evening
headdress a distinct novelty is a CO.
carde of silk or satin to which is at
tached a cluster of white or shaded os-
preys. Combs of tinted horn represent
a popular fad in Paris which is attract
ing a good deal of attention.

Modes In Furs.

The furs a la mode for the moment
are undoubtedly ermine, white fox and
sable. Ermine paletots, seniftting, are
great deal seen for carriage wear. A
pretty example has a deep collar of
yellow lace and quaint cords and tassels
for fastenings. 1t is lined with deli
cate shade of green, and the pretty
toque of ermine en- suite has ivy and
