Dragon Trees of Tenerife.

Objects of interest in Tenerife are
the celebrated dragon trees, which
are really a species of gigantic as
paragUs. One tree, situated at La
guna, the ecclesiastical capital OF the
island, is said tC be several thou
sand years old. The growth of these
dragon trees is very slow, and they
throw out no branches until they
have blOssOmed, which seldom takes
place before their fifteenth year, and
sometimes not until their thirtieth.
The oldest dragon tree known in the
island was that at Orotava, which was
at least six thousand years oId-some
botanists say ten thousand. 1t was
about sixty feet high, with a trunk
forty-eight feet in circumference at
the base. The ancient inhabitants of
the island, the Guanchos, performed
their religious rites in it's hollow
trunk. In 1867 the upper part OF the
tree was broken off during a storm.
and, though every effort was made to
preserve the remainder, it gradually
decayed, and there is now no trace OF
it left. The sap of the tree, a resin

emitting the wings, is similar. The hair
should be dressed in the well-known
Psyche knot at the back Of the head and
thickly powdered with , arch, or a

are made, the waist and upper skirt of

the lower of plain light-blue or pink
cambria or sateen. Mount both into the
same band, cut the lowered 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 dress is wanted later
for the regular wardrobe. A little straw

Costumes for Fancy
Dress

ESHlS is the season of the fancy
N 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.
The daisy has a finely plated or gathered
ankle-length skirt of yellow cheese-cloth
or tarlatan, or more expensive materials
if you like, though the effect for one
evenings wear will be very little bet
ter. Over this a 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 10 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 peplum, 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 watcr-hly costume
would be made in similar fashion, but
the silly 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
little thought will give one the clue to
various flower models.
A witch's costume is not difficult to
compass. Make it of gray cashmere,
hannelette, Cheese-Cloth or similar soft
material A Japanese kimono will an
swer as a model for the domino, and
the foundation of the tall peaked hat
may be buckram or cardboard, rolled
into a pointed cone and with a narrow
circular hrim ScWed to it. Cover the
hat smoothly with the material of the
dress; wind about it a scarf of gray
chiffon tarlatan that has been drawn
through the hands to soften it. The
ends of the scarf are supposed to be the
Cobwebs that float on the air. At one
side of the hat place an owl of the
familiar kind that is made Of crepe
paper and has shoe-button eyes. The
witch should carry the proverbial broom
stick, which should be plentifully decked
with the cobwebs. A figure Of a black
cat with arched back and tail erect, cut
from black cloth, should be applied to
some part of the robe, or several of
them may be so used.
Psyche is a character that admits of
pretty and becoming dressing. The
gown is simple robe of clinging white
material; cheese-cloth is always excel
lent for these draperies, or cotton crepe
or albatross will drape effectively. The
shape of the garment might be taken
from a rather full nightdresS or a
Mother Hubbard wrapper, emitting the
yoke and running a drawing string in
the neck The gown is adjusted to the
figure by ribbon, about six yards long
and two inches wide, passed around the
waist and crossed at the back in sus-
pender fashion. Small wings cut from
chiffon, tarlatan or net, and wired at
the edge with bonnet wire, should be
pinned or sewed to the ribbons that
cross the back. Psyche is usually

The study of the evolution of dress,

the genius of a Darwin Just when a

level of scientific opinion he finds
that he has drifted leagues astern of
it, or far away to the left or right.
The subject is so difficult because
naturally we have no ancient cos
tunes before US in linen or wool.

them are not always trustworthy
persons. They have a strong ten

Squares, waltzes, Virginia reels, cross

there seemed to be just you and some
