Easter Favors of Egg Shells

During Easter there will be numberless entertainments. To have something novel and at the same time appropriate in the shape of table decorations or fayors is the desire of every hostess.
 It Is really surprising how many trifles may be fashioned from egg shells. For esgshell vases, carefully trim the shells so that they make szeable half shells. Selecting those of about the same size, ar range a dozen half shells in groups on a narrow strip of cardboard by means of drops of hot sealing wax. The shells should be close enough to touch. Four groups of these shells make a fascinating centerpiece. The shells will not hold much water, to be sure, but enough to keep tiny flowers fresh or some time. Filled with a trailing vine, such shell vases make a delightful border for the dish of eggs, the rabbits or tiny chickens which complete the table decorations. These shell vases, too, would give a seasonable touch to the tray of an invalid on Easter morning.
 Cunning cups for holding almonds, can dies or even for holding the soft-boiled egg may be made from the eggshell. Take small. short half shell and one large, tall half she'll Make a hole about a quarter of an inch in diameter in the bottom or the smaller smell, turn the Snell upside down so the hole is uppermost. Set the large half shell into the hole, fastening it in place by dropping sealing wax around 1t. Fasten the shells to a card and decorate them as elaborately or as simply as you choose.
 Fascinating fairy lanterns may be made from the eggshels and bit of wire. Cut off the top of the smaller end of the egg so the white and yolk will run out. Trim the top of the shell off evenly. Around the bottom of the egg, for rim to keeiJ tho shell upright, glue a narrow strip of paper A similar strip is next pasted flat around the top of the shell to give the proper finish to the lantern Just below the upper strip Of paper make two tiny holes on opposite sides of the she'll These will hold the handle made of fine bent wire In the bottom of the shell put a few drops of melted wax, and while stili soft fasten a tiny candle in place. These lanterns may he suspended from the chan Gelier by means Of fine, almost invisible wire and when so arranged make novel decoration.
 The eggshell clowns always delight. To make them the contents of the egg must be blown out. In the opening thus made insert small stick keeping it in place with sealing wax. Features are painted on the shell and a fools cap and a ruff of tissue paper or sheer silk are next put in place. These things done, the egg clown is ready to share in all kinds of merry making.

Some More Talk About
 Easter Hats

With Easter at hand there is little change from the hats shown a month ago. More varieties are displayed, of course, but the styles in general remain about the same. Turbans and large hats hats of rough straw and hats of the finest horsehair. hats of flowers and hats of maline-these are the chief classes to which the hats of this spring may be assigned. The range seems to be wide enough; and surely there Is opportunity for something becoming to be selected
 The turban is, perhaps, more in evi dence than any other one style The all- flower or the flower and foliage turban Is exceeding smart and equally attrao- tive. There is a decided tendency to develop a turban of flowers, shaded from deep 10 pale or from pale to deep tones of any one color. Violsts, roses, gera- niums. hyacinths all lend themselves charmingy to this method of arrange ment. The flowers arranged in rows with folds of the soft naline are another fetching conoeit. Sometimes a bow of maline or velvet placed at one side fn- ishes the hat Quillings of velvet, too are used in combination with the flowers
 One must be most careful in selecting turban to have it just suited in. shape, as well as coloring and trimming, to the contour of the face and dressing of the hair Sometimes 1t takes but the slight est variation in shape 10 make a strls- lngly unbecoming hat, one exactly suit ed to the wearer
 The large all black hat. will be much in evidence this season. These hats are more expensive than the turban-that is. such a hat will be costly if one has not a supply of plumes with which to adorn 1t. Feathers of great size and also of much value are the sole trimming on many a large picture hat of leghorn CT horsehair. Occasionally a rose is fast ened coquettshly in place to give touch of color.
 The under side of the brim of these large hats Is faced either in whole or part with velvet. Sometimes a band of fancy hereshair ribbon, strongly suG-
