It seems to me that have not
courage even to look a guessing game
in the face, but the demand for this
form of entertainment, like the little
brook, goes on forever" At a recent
shower the guests were passed pink
heart.shaped cards with number of
words transposed. which the hostess
explained represented articles TO be
found In the brides trousseau. Two
prizes were awarded Generally the
presenting of the shower" opening
and commenting upon the articles.

LUELLA M. s.
A jolly informal affair that came to
my notice which was given on the
twentieth wedding anniversary was
carried out In this manner: The in
vitations were written In Chinese
characters on red paper, the transla-
ton was on the inside page and asked
the guests TO come In Chinese cos.
tune. Red and yellow were the pre-
dominating colors and the refresh.
ments were sent from fine chop suey
place with real celestials to serve.
| The favors were china spoons. This
certainly was a novel entertainment

BELTS THAT FIT THE SKIRT.
oirdIes Always Should Look Part
Of the Costume.

No tailor who knows his business
ever turns out street skirt without
finishing II with a stitched narrow
belt of the material. This Is sometimes
attached. but more often not. although
the best tailors recently have been
fastening this belt to the skirt, stitch
ing 1t on In such manner that 1t
fastens with pointed end where the
skirt fastens. This attached belt OBJ.
viates all need Of separate belts. and
women who have adhered to the tai
lored belt with the tailored skirt have
presented trimmer appearance
around the waist than those whose
betting has been any miscellaneous
thing that happens to be smart in
beltdom at the time. !.
II ones tailor has not been so con.
siderate good substitute for the mar.
row belt of the material Is a heavy
silk braid not over an inch wide and
matching the gown In color. This
should be lightly stitched to the skirt
and finished with small clasp.
Soft liberty satin five inches wide,
drawn taut around the waist and
buckled. makes a dressy and easily
shaped belt. IL must match exactly.
The belt that is off color and but of
harmony is often the thing that kills
the whole getup.
The belt must always be a part OF
the costume, and not, as IL so often
looks. an odd girdle of any old kind
that happens to be handy.

The stork luncheon was repeated
very recently, but must have escaped
your notice. Stork place cards, cradle,
center-piece, walls decorated with
baiyy food advertisements, offerings
of dainty bits of wearing apparel for
the little stranger and a simple menu
were some of the features given. Rat
ties and balls of colored celluloid are
also good favors. Pink or white should
be the color scheme, with the addition
of dainty blue forget-me.nots If the
hostess desires.

About Sleeves.

The sleeves for shirtwaists are not
so full at the top as they were last
year. They are very much fiatter
across the top of the arm, most of the
fullness being kept. as in mans
coat, at the side front and side back.
In fact, sleeves are decidedly smaller,
and In all OF the palmer tailored shirt
waists only long ones are used. They
are generally finished with a small
cuff with round corners, worn either
with links or buttoned closely to the
wrist.
