FIRE OF QUESTIONS

By Sun Leased Wire
l4w York, Oct. 17.-Three hundred
and fifty or more bought their way into
the Hippodrome tonight for the pleas
ure of popping questions of an acrim-
omious nature at Matthew Henson, the
colored man who stood with Peary at
the earths north axis and the latest
lecturer to enter the field of polar
controversy.
After the audience had been held
with a series of movng pictures taken
in many arctic regions besides those
visited by Peary, Henson in evening
clothes took his place before read
ing desk in She lonely acreage of the
stage.
"Above so degrees north, men don't
talk as huch as they do here" was
Henson's opening apology. "I'm new
to this lecture business and perhaps

this business. | won't have to use
notes pretty, soon"

Costumes for fancy
Dress

shown as butterfly. Galatea's costume,
emitting the wings, is similar. The hair
should be dressed in the well-known
Psyche knot at the back of the head and
thick1y powdered with cornstarch, or al
white wig may be worn. If little
girls hair is tucked up into similar /
knot she will look quaint little char 1
acter in the Empire dress shown among
this months patterns, and will be pre-
pared for the chiidren's party or. 81
flower girl at a wedding.
There are numerous ideas more or
less original for children's fancy dress
that may be founded on the patterns of I
everyday dress. The little nightdraw-a
ers that are all-enveloping even to the !
feet (like stockings), if made of gray
canton flannel and furnished with al
close-fitting hood of the same material,
will turn the small boy into fascina-
ting bunny, especially if long ears of the
same material and wired at the edges
are sewed to the hood. A bit of furI
blance to Mr.. Cottontail still more COM
plete So
Any little dress pattern with plainS
gathered skirt may be converted into al
tuck-up or Dolly Warden, if two skirts
are made, the waist and upper skirt of
lowered cllintz or calico or lawn and
the lower of plain light-blue or pink
cambria or sateen. Mount both into the
same band, cut the, Powered skirt
through the center of the front breadth
and loop the sides UP high. This may
even be managed without cutting the
! front breadth if the dressi is wanted later
| for the'regular wardrobe. A little straw
hat and a shepherds crook turns Dolly
warden into Bo Peep, and Little Boy
Blues dress may be made from any
boys suit pattern; but don't forget his
horn and an old straw or felt hat dec
GRATED with wisp of hay. The same!
! pattern that provides the rabbit costume
will serve as model for the popular
Teddy bear; the material should in this
case be brown canton flannel The head
may be one of the papier-mache mask
\ heads representing a bear, though this,
| too, may be managed by hood, leav-
ing the face uncovered, or small mask
may be worn. Make the hood square

A Pretty Christmas-Cake

A Christmas cake will be doubly at
tractive to the children if, Merry Xh.as"
is traced with icing about the sides or
top. The loaf cake should first be COW
cred with thick coating of icing, pre-
fcrably colored red and favored with
strawberry or red raspberry. A white
icing for the decoration and lettering
can have delicate flavor of vanilla. The

TWNHIs is the season of the fancy
~ dress party, more interesting
n to many, no doubt, than formal
evening entertainments. Be-
sides the well-known characters of his
tory and fiction, there are the flower
costumes that are wonderfully pretty.

evenings wear will be very little bet
ter. Over this not very full skirt of
white sateen or lining cambria, gathered
at the waist and slashed its full length
to form the daisy petals, each of which
should be tapered to rounded point
at the end and not quite so long as, the
yellow skirt The fitted waist should be
green, and little points OF the green,
reaching not quite to the hip, should be
added as a peplunl, waist and points
representing the calyx of the blossom.
Trim the neck and dress the hair with
daisies; paper flowers will be capital for
this purpose. A water-lily costume
would be made in similar fashion, but
the. lily petals should be wider and not
so long. Trim the waist with grasses OF
green crepe paper. As the centers. OF
most flowers are yellow, the lower skirt
in most cases will be that color, and a
little thought will give one the clue to
various flower models.

chiffon tarlatan that has been drawn
through the hands to soften it. The
ends of the scarf are supposed to be the
cobwcbs that float on the air. At one

The Homeward Drive

Squares, waltzes, Virginia reels, cross
overs, forward-fours, dos a dos, cheat
your partners, swing TO sides, ladies'
changes, and all hands round Oh, it
was such a delicious hodge-podge,
through which you followed the Turing
eyes, that like will-of-the-wisps led you
wherever someone willed.
And that homeward drive! When
there seemed to be just you and some
one, and Billy, in the whole pure white
world flooded with stainless moonlight!
And the bells danced, and you were so
afraid the old buffalo robe might slip
down that you had to put your arm
about someone and hold it tight. And
once sorrel Billy threw back the snow
from his hoofs so hard that someone had
actually to put her head down on your
shoulder to protect her face:
Oh, yes, indeed, if there's anyone in
this town who ever went to a country
dance-he remembers all right!

Then tramping off to your own bare

Then more than likely you stole into
