A Butterfly Party.

/ A pretty amusement, much in
vogue among art students, is what we
have TO suggest for the making Of a
butterfly party.
To prepare for this unique enter-
tainment, give few tubes of oil coli
ors, one each of white. crimson, lake,
vermillion, yellow. green and blue.
This seems like a good many to pro-
vide but while great variety Of coli
ors is needed to produce the very
best effects, satisfactory effects may
be produced with three or four
You will also need palette knife.
two or three paper cutters or fruit
knives and number OF sheets Of
heavy white note paper.
Give each guest a sheet of the note
paper and instruct him to fold 1t in
half. Then, having opened it again,
he must put little of each of several
colors together on one side of, and
close to. the fold, half way from edge
to edge of the sheet of paper and fold
the paper again down over the paint.
Now. with paper cutter or dull
edged fruit knife. let him press the
paper over the paint so as to spread
the latter upward and outward to
form the profile of butterfy's wing
Then he should press downward to
form the lower wing, being guided in
the work by holding the paper up to
the light now and then to see in what
shape the colors are spreading.
When all the guests have finished.
the papers should be opened, and
beautiful butterfly Of many colors
will be found in each. If good deal
of paint is used. beautiful markings
will be produced. with ridges and cor
rugations that make the butterfly
look quite natural.
At the close of the work a vote
should be taken as TO whose butterfly
is the best. and a prize awarded sc-
cordingly.
If IT be impracticable to get va
riety of colors, a pretty effecS may be
produced with white paint and paper
in dark tints. The result will be a
number Of really beautiful white but
terflies. showing effectively on col
sTsd background.
The butterflies made during the
evening may be taken home by ths
guests OF left with the hostess as SOU
venirs Of the occasion.
