 But in the dining room and pantry, where the good things were tempt ingly arranged for the hungry ones, there was never lull, never an idle minute. The most delicious saladE and cakes were spread on the dinirE table, and the pantry shelves were laden with jellies, pickles and other goodies.
 There was a garden party, too, and ice cream, candy and dainty fruits were served by girls dressed in gowns made of crepe paper, pretty and dainty as possible. Perhaps you thought that in Santa Claus land 1t was always snowy, but in this garden wisteria and tulips were everywhere.
 A fortune teller let you know many things that are to come to you, but didn't tell what you'd get for Christ mas.
 A room where magic" was perform ed was great attraction.
 Teddy Bear. and family had a formidable looking cave, where hugs were served for five cents.
 There were clowns, dudes, Indians, and a representative of nearly every country on the globe present at the party and they had such a splendid time. All their friends were invited too, and everybody came.
 A splendid supper was served from 6 to 8 in the big hall below stairs, and there were people waiting to be served from the time the door opened until there was nothing left.
 During the evening Masters Vine and Robert Parmelee sang some very entertaining songs, including Captain Baby Bunting of the Rocking Horse Brigade" and Bessie and Her Little Brown Bear"
 Mrs. Santa Claus and her assistants are to be congratulated upon the sue cess of their party, for everybody en- joyed it.

Fancy bumper Waist.

Every variation OF the guimre
waist is greatly worn. and this one.
known as the jumper. is a fayorite.
II is eminently simple at the same
time that il is emineutly charming
and possesses the very great practi-
cal advantage OF requiring very lit
tie material, so that IL is exceedingly
useful for remodeling as we'll as for
the new gown. In the illustration
the waist is made of chiffon
taffeta trimmed with velvet, while
the guimpe is of all-over lace
over thin India silk, the combination
being both effective and practical,
The foundation OF the very thin silk
for the guimpe means that Il is just
thick enough not TO be transparent
while the lace retains all its lightness
of effect, and the taffeta is an exceed
ingly desirable as we'll as exceeding
ly fashionable material for both
waists and gowns. There are, how
ever, a number OF variations that
might be suggested. The waist Itself
suits any fashionable material adapt
ed TO indoor costumes, while the
guimpe can be made Of lingerie ma
terial and unlined, or 1t can be made
of lace and the sleeves unlined and
the silk cut away at the V shaped
portions If transparent effect Is de-
sired; or, again, it can be made OF
some pretty thin silk while the waist
is of wool, and in this case can either
be lined or unlined as individual pre-
ference may determine.
The guimpe is simple plain one,
closed at the back and the fulness
drawn down in gathers at the waist

terials that are Of sufficient light
weight to be tucked with success and
that means almost everything fas-
hionable. The very light weight chif-
fon broadcloths can be SO used and
chiffon itself makes very lovely
waists, while between the two are al
most innumerable silk and woolen
materials that are suitable.
The waist is made with fitted lin
ing, the front, the backs and the
yoke. Both the front and backs are
tucked for a short distance from
their upper edge, forming soft full
ness below and joined to the yoke,
the seam being concealed by the trim
ming. The sleeves are Of moderate
fulness and when desired full length
the Innings are faced TO form the
deep cuffs.
The quantity of material required
for the medium size is three and one
half yards twenty-One, three yards
twenty-seven, or one and three-quar-
ter yards forty-four inches wide. with
five-eighth yard OF all-oyer lace for
the yoke, seven yards OF velvet rib
bon and three-quarter yard OF lace
for the sleeves. with one yard Of all
over lace If long sleeves are desired.

Plain Plaids Varied.

A variation Of the plain plaid skirt
Is one which has narrow panels OF
plain material on either side OF the
plaid front that reach 20 the bottom
and extend quite around 20 the back
where they meet. The skirt is close
about the hips and very full at the
bottom. This effect OF a plain hem
is excellent, but adapted especially
for girls who wear short skirts and
tall women who ca1 stand the short
