A MaypoIe Fair.

An extremely picturesque and mover
idea for a bazaar held in the month OF
May is a Nlaypole fair. Such sale
was held at this season in New YORK
last year, and so great was the success
that no better idea could be suggested
FOR entertainment committees with
similar schemes at present on their
hands.
The hall which was given up to it
was charmingly decorated. suggesting
the period of the calendar it repre-
sented. The very clever limitations OF
vines in flower now found among the
PAPER novelty goods were employed
FER the ceiling. These were twined In
and Out Of a wooden lattice and were
then brought down several feet on the
sail all around. forming graceful
frieze and giving the entire apartment
the effect of bower in combination
with the rest of the trimming below.
The central point of the room was
occupied by a tall post painted green
and decorated with broad bands OF
ribbon, which radiated in all direc-
ons These ribbons were swung out
toward the wall, but stopped short Of
that mark, being caught up with huge
post DOWS 10 SNOTteT posts
>ouidistant from the central one. In
this way a wide passage was left be-
tween the ribbons and the wall, along
which the crowds passed. These
shorter posts were in private life
clothes props, now sawed in half and
gaily wound with strips OF colOred
crepe paper and vines.
To each OF the ribbons thus stretch
ed out was attached some certain class
Of merchandise. with the price of each
for ready reference. Two girls attired
in dimity of a shade which matched
that of the ribbon then tended were
present to answer questions, dispose of
the wares, wrap bundles and make
change. The frocks worn by these
Maypole maidens, as they were called.
were all of quaint old-time cut, short
Of skirt and short of waist, and with
them were worn white mob caps and
dainty white frilled aprons.
The girls tending the white ribbon
were all in white and their wares were
handkerchiefs in white or in pale tints.
also dainty collarettes. The same idea
was carried out with each different
ribbon.
Naturally one ribbon was devoted to
mystery sale, and here for five to ten
cents We're purchased gayly wrapped
little packages containing surprise
gifts. The five-cent packages contain
ed articles for the little people. while
FOR ten cents the grown-ups were ca
tered TO.
Another ribbon was weighted with
fortune envelopes. The fortunes were
written in rhyme. and the envelopes
inclosing them were specially made in
different tints OF crepe paper. They
sold at five cents.
In another room a delicious supper
was served at reasonable rates. Small
tables were used. and each was trim
med in a different color with a differ
ent kind of flower. Girls costumed as
eighteenth century milkmaids waited
on the tables.

Feminine Fads.

Fashion is swayed to a large extent by
imperial fancies.
The other day Queen Mary of England
purchased several samples of Nottingham
lace. The news spread abroad, and now
every English woman and every Amer
can visitor who hopes to take part in the
coronation ceremonies is fastening to aud
some lace in this pattern to her ward
robe.
Nottingham manufacturers are prepar-
ing to meet wide demand and are show
ing samples of every description, from
the cheap vaienciennes to silk point de
venise, puris vailing, nets. point i alme-
ria maltese and malines. Some exquisite
specimens of lace embroidery are exhibit
ed.
Whether Nottingham will suppiant the
Irish crochet that has so long been the
popular favorite is ii question lace dealers
are at loss TO answer. VI so, the change
is likely to be gradual one.

The Spring Bride.

The spring bride who expects to be
married in a church may express her in
dividuality in the churchly decorations
Just as well as in the adornments of her
own home; in fact. the possibilities for
original and picturesque effects are al
NEST infinite, with the mysterious back
ground. it's sweet dignity and etherealism
to lend high lights. While, of course. the
services of a professional florist must be
called for such an occasion, the. bride
may offer suggestions and thus express
her own taste.
There is popular impressiveness in all
white church decorations. They give an
atmosphere of purity and spirituality
that is the soul of the marriage service.
One interior for a fashionable spring
wedding has great clusters Of bride
roses held aioft by pillars of white lilacs
and fern leaves. A spray. of palm leave;
will add to the height of the clusters,
which will be arranged at intervals along
the center aisle. Along the side aisieS
will be pillars and clusters of ascens on
lilies and the arches will have masses CT
lilies and southern smilaX topping their
pillars. White lilacS are to be banked
against the church rail- The altar will be
bower of palms. with bride roses and
valley lilies.
Ascension lilies and hydrangeas are eff
fective in a church. Clusters of lilies are
caught TO the peWS with long BOWS Oh
white satin ribbon. A hedge of hydran-
seas is just inside the chancel rail, which
is twined with ropes of pink rambler
roses. Tail stalks of lilies flank the altar
and pour out from among the candies.
Against a background of dark stately
palms the altar CLOVIS with light and fra
GRANGE. and with the addition of the
bridal party it is thing of beauty and
reverence.
One striking church interior showed the
columns transformed into pillars of
southern dogwOod blossom and mountain
ivy. cross of bride roses with clusters
OF buds on either side and the usual
Rankings of palm adorn the altar. AT the
pew entrances punches of pink peonieS
and apple blossoms are caught with white
ribbon bows. Pink rambler roses may be
substituted for the peonies.
Nothing can be utilized to better ad-
vantage in church decoration than south
ern dogwood. 1t is dainty, and the bios
SONS seem to stand out like white stars
in a fusky interior. Narcissus is ex-
quisite on the altar. 1t is SO fragile and
withal SO springlke that it seems to
have been created for bridal events.

Graduation Dress.

For the girl graduate who even now
is beginning TO talk Of her graduating
gown. it is we'll to remember it should
be simplicity itself. Bear in mind that
it is neither a debutante gown nor a
wedding gown; it is only the plain
white frock which bespeaks the fact
that she is on the edge of the river of
life, just ready to launch forth to gain
the experience for which the years of
study have been fitting her.
Silks and satins are out of place in

mother will dress her daughter in a
simple frock of swiss and lace with no
