les besieged with would-be masquerade
ers, Halloween is to be an unusually festive oc-
casion this year. v-e-s--.-.~-.-
There is subtle art in instinctively choosing
a costume that suits the wearer's' personality,
emphasizing her charms and individuality. Much
discretion, therefore, must be exercised in this
matter. You should not sacrifice your looks
Tor the sake of . an attractive costume, unless
the same is becomingly appropriate. s
Inc sketches shown on this page are suited to
varied types of women, and, of course, the
dresses may be modified and changed according
to the wearer's requirements. Owing to the linn
tied space; description must be brief. i
BUT WHAT SHALE. 7 WEAR?" )
The first sketch is reminiscent Of several his
torical epochs Of dress, the long. tight. fttine
bodlces terminating in sharp angle and the
full, flowing skirt with and without paniers main
taitned their vogue both in England and France
for several generations. Developed in pale pink
and baby blue this costume would be charming.
The skirt of Powered material with plain bod
ice or vice versa, with cream lace trimming and
dainty lace apron. Paniers may be added
in place of the small basques. which would be
especially attractive for figured material IN
place of the Elizabethan ruff when the collar
bones are too prominent, employ "a soft lisse Of
lace drapery as fchu gathered up in the centre
by a bunch of posies; this is suggestive of Louis
XVI. especially SO the bodice is laced across
the front, another detail of same period. If you
add paniers leave off the lace apron. sItt
The second sketch shows a typical skirt of the
directoire period, of striped silk, finished by a
deep lace rufae. The upper portion Of the gown

Empire STYLE Flowing lace sleeves are worn,
crossed by shoulder straps. The head dress also
is of the Directoire order, fashioned of lace with
butterfly bow at top. The sash or, scarf may be
omitted. The train sweeps from the top of the
bodice after the manner of Vatican.
FETCHING FOR A BLONDE.
The third costume is quaint one worn by the
peasants of German principally. The costume
is made short-waisted, elbow sleeves and a
double skirt. The hair is braided. The head
dress consists of loops Of ribbon decorated with
a. butterfly bow, the whole fastened to an elias
