such as occasionally appear having
rather an out Of date look.
Transparent lace Is q favorite trim
ming for smart tub dresses, and ba-
tiste and null embroidery IL another
charming and fashionable decoration.
Wells form important accessories to
the up to date toilet, and there are
almost as many varieties and as many
ways OF arranging them as there are
people to wear them.
Very smart skirt suits, or, rather,
three piece suits, are made with plaid
ed silk skirt, and coat and waist Of
plain silk, matching the predominant
ing color In the plaid.
Many Of the linen and mercerized
gowns show little vests Of contrasting
color or material, sometimes both, but

pieces can be taken out. Then on a slip
write out numerous puzzing questions in
rhyme II 1t is possible and tuck them away
each in two of the empty half Shells which
can be tied together with tiny colored rib
bons. Each player is provided with a toy
hammer so when the nut Tor at least the
filled nutshells) are passed around they can
be easily smashed. A plate, containing the
good part of the nuts. all wrapped I'D as
bonbons Is then handed. and each player
takes one. an answer to one question Is
wrapped around each nut, and each player
then reads in turn his question and the an
swer. The answer will probably be very
ridiculous when read to the question. A
vote should decide the best and a prize be
given to the holder
One question might be, "Why do rivers
run by large cities?' and the answer drawn,
Because they can't climb a tree" etc.
This may also be played with old familiar
riddles. and will cause great deal of mer-
