We view with serious misgivings

GOOD IDEA FOR A c0TILLoN
Empire Effect Lends Itself Charming
ly to the Decorations and Favors-
Some Pretty Conceits.

The hostess who wants to entertain
well and does not have to count pen
MES should give an empire cotillon
The idea would lend itself charming
ly to the decorations and favors.
Empire wreaths and garlands OF
pink and white roses should decorate
the walls Tall dull gold empire gas
kets with long handles filled with the
same flower should be placed about
the rooms. And empire screens could
shade the electric lights to give the
soft glow of innumerable wax candles.
For favors she would have many
charming conceits to choose from.
Among the prettiest would be pin
cushions in the shape of these small
empire baskets. Their centers are
stuffed for the cushion, and they are
made of dull furnished gold, In wick
er, with the edges and handles twined
with wreaths of small satin flowers.
And empire work bags made of dull
brocade with furnished gold trim
mings, and the picture of some beauty
of the French courts framed on the
side make stunning favors.
Empire scarfs in shaded pink and
white. gold and white, and the green
and white of that period are infinitely
attractive used as favors.
Small gilt mirrors in empire design,
furnished gold jewel boxes 80 typical
of that charming day, and tiny fans
make lovely favors.
Then If all the girls wore empire
frocks. and empire wreaths Of pink
and white roses were given them to
carry over their arms, a fascinating
effect would be attained
The empire idea should also be car
ried out in the supper room. the table
decorations of gilded empire baskets,
filled with pink and white roses. This
idea should show itself in the ices.
and everywhere possible in the table
