SOME coTILLIoN FIGURES.
Figures and Favors Suitable for Small
Dance, Amusing and
Pretty Ones.

II the dance is to be a small one,
1t would be advisable to have small
figures In the cotillOn. If you want
something amusing have The Masks. Z"
The leader should select a number of
men who retire behind a screen and
there put on masks of different kinds.
They should then raise their heads
above the screen, and an equal number
OF girls, selected by the leader, should
choose partners from the group OF
heads, after which all dance and at the
end of the figure each girl is presented
with her partners mask.
The four-in-hand figure is a very old
one, but good one to have. Two sets
of ribbons are required for this ngure.
In each set are four ribbons, joined at
one end. The girl takes one set, and,
holding the joined ends, selects four
men, to each of whom she gives the
end of the ribbon. The man selects
four girls and to each gives a ribbon.
The leaders then drive their four-in-
hand around the room in opposite d.
rections.
When they meet the men drop their
ribbon and dance with the girls. You
can buy suitable favors made of paper
-racquets, whips. banjos. hats, bon
nets. ruffs, garden tools. flowers, horse
shoes, bells-in fact so many attractive
articles that could not enumerate
them all.

There does not seem to be any hard

Il is always the face that matters

with the looks Of sweet girls This
girl has never lost her beauty. nor her
trick of smiling with dimples that
chase one another over her face. and
she IS a bewitching grandmother and
fairy godmother to a bevy Of young
people.
Choosing partners was what
thought OF when looked at her. for
she was one that everybody wanted
10 choose. She had her chums, and
her comrades. and generally there was
one a wee BIT dearer than the others.
On the day that school opens there
may be 60 girls in a class, and they
may be total strangers one TO an
other. Bnt very soon they VIII drift

ing up. great deal more than older

To share ones desk or ones room
with a disagreeable girl, or with a
girl who is not In sympathy with one,
IS a real misery The next worst
thing is 10 have a chum forced on
one against her will. Occasionally a
teacher insists on putting together
two girls who belong apart The re-
suit Is seldom blissful Once in
awhile a mother makes the mistake
OF harplng on the grace and the
amiability and the cleverness OF
fIaude or Mabe: to Mary and Jane,
who very probably wish nothing to
do with either OF the paragons. There
is no surer way Of antagonizing a
girl and setting her against some
body else than the way Of continually
praisIng the somebody, and showing
on her good qualities az the expense
Of the other.

have been the best Of friends, but
who were driven into a condition very
much like enmity, because the one
was forever held up TO the other as
a bright and shining example.

We have to choose our partners on
the road. We do II in the school
room, we do It in the playground, we
do II everywhere. Our partners and
chums are the ones who best suit us.
They do not misunderstood us. We
do not have to talk with them all the
time. or entertain them. or make any
particular effort to be pleasing, when
IN their society. They and we may
sit in silence for hours, and yet have
9 very good time.
Our friends are our best helpers.
They may not always like the same
studies and the same recreations, but
there Is one thing in which they do
not differ from ourselves; they will
have the same standards Of honor.
A truthful girl cannot make friend
OF a hypocrite, nor an honest girl
associate on familiar terms with one
who cheats. You viii never find two
girls united in strong friendship when
one is coarse and vulgar and the
other modest and refined.
