Destination Dance.

Destination Dance.
A "detestation Dance is one of the
new ways. of entertaining at dane
ing party says What to Eat Maya
zine. and one that is sure to be
voted success from every stand
point. 1t means q goodly amount of
real fun for the guests and less work
and expense for the hostess. The
card invitations should bear only the
date and hour with the words, 'de.
testation dance" written upon them.
This kind of an affair is more popu-
lar and enjoyable than the ball mas
que, in that every one can wear the
regulation dress customary at such
occasions, with the addition of pro-
fuse decorations and odornment sug
costing his or her pet aversion. A
seen at such an affair, among them,
a young lady with several of the
Japanese paper snakes in evidence
showing her great aversion to that
harmless animal, another was young
man who had a number of papier
rouged and powdered showing his de-
testation for false femininity. Others
of the guests had for their adorn
ment toy mice, perfume bottles, and
paste iewelry. There is room for any
amount of originality at such party.
After the enjoyment of viewing and
deciding what each guest especially
moved and were used as favors for
n cotiflion dance chat occupied the
rest of the evening, the hostess of
course supplying more favors that
would mix well with the detestation
trinkets. This is an attractive kind
of a party to be given either by
club or at a private home. The
rooms or hall should be decorated
with lanterns giving a wierd style.
