ROYALTY MEETS At A
CROWNED HEAD PARTY
Some Suggestions for Model
Entertainments of Various
Sorts.
BY MADAME MERRl.

A hostess renowned for her ingenuity
In getting up and carrying out unique
entertainments scored IL great success
when she issued invitations for her
Crowned Head dinner. There were
90 guests seated at five small tables.
The usual evening gown was worn and
the head and shoulders We're In exact
imitation of some royal parsonage.
Men Wore just the conventional eve
ming dress. Just imagine your best
friend with her hair dressed "a la
Mary Queen of Scots. or as Marie An
tolnette." One quite stout round faced
matron went as the late Queen Vic
toria. 1t was n remarkable interesting
study to see the transformation made
by costuming the head in an entirely
different mode from the present.
Tiaras and crowns were constructed
from the Five and Ten" store jewels
and one clever matron built her enor-
nous emeralds, rubies and diamonds
from big gum drops; the effect was
really fine.
Every one said it was just the 1olliest
kind of u dinner. Most OF the heads
were copied from histories with COL
lored illustrations, and the public IL
brary furnished excellent books on Co.'S
tunes of che different periods. 1t was
a source of pleasure to all who parti-
cipated,--as one young woman re-
marked, she felt on quite intimate
terms with rOyalty"

The HOME LIFE Of THE
SETTLER
WESTERN CANADA AFFORDS ALL
THE COMFORTS AND MANY OF
THE LUXURlES,

A young lady Of Wisconsin secured
certificate at the Milwaukee Office
of the Canadian Government, and on
presenting this to the ticket agent Of
the railway at the Canadian boundary
line she secured q ticket at reduced
rate which carried her to Edmonton.
Alberta, from which point, about for
ty miles, she had friends. This was q
couple Of years ago, and the young
lady is now married to one of the
promising young farmers OF the dis.
trict
In writing OF her trip to the Mil
waukee representatives of the Cana
dian Government she says: Il enjoyed
my trip up here very much, and ex-
pect to go out to our homestead in
the Pembina district next spring." To
the housewife the Information that
she has put up twelve quarts of rasp-
berries" is important, as they picked
them themselves" and they might
have picked ten times the quantity II
they had required them, for there is
no country where wild fruit grows in
such abundance. The letter goes on
to say, and this is interesting from a
woman's standpoint, the country is
very beautiful" Speaking of the
friends with whom she went up to
live, she says: "They certainly have
q beautiful farm and house"-they
had been there about four years, also
going from Wisconsin-"they have
about twenty acres of oats and bar
ley, five acres alfalfa, three acres DO
tatoes and / don't know how many OF
vegetables. think they have about
forty acres under cultivation altogeth-
er. They are now draining a slough
which they will afterwards pillow and
put into fall wheat. They also have
a large herd of cattle. and Mrs. C..
has about 100 chickens. They make
on an average of 80 pounds of butter
every week ] never saw such grand
cream"
Now these people are enjoying life
in Alberta; they have splendid CHI
mate, excellent prospects, and are
happy that they are part and parcel
in the working out of the upbuilding
OF new country, that will take its
place amongst the progressive coun-
tries OF the century. Numbers of let
tiers that express satisfaction as ex-
IRENE as the one quoted appear in
literature sent out by the Canadian
Government and viii h may be had
on application to any OF its agents.

The HIGH Cost of DYING.

a contributor to the December WoIn-
ans Home Companion makes the fol-
lowing interesting comment:
ut has occurred to me, while reading
articles on the high cost of living,
that, apparently, no one has thought OF
the terribly high cost of dying.
Does 1t seem far that a casket
should cost so many times it's intrinsic
value, because of the pressing need?
Should liverymen charge double or
treble for conNeyances at such q time?
can you not undertake to show the
actual robbery that exists and thrives
on the forced purchasing that often
leaves family almost bankrupt? That,
too, at time perhaps when Its support
is taken away. 1 hope that you may
be able to start q crusade against such
rank injustice"

feature in their decora ton. AS re-

UNUSUAL COMBINATIONS.

A combination seen good deal just
now is of blue and lavender mousse
line 1t is often touched with black vel
vet or else trimmed with ermine tails,
thus giving the necessary contrast. But
we see other pretty and unusual COM
binattons, too. For instance. old pink
and old blue. lavender and buff. gold
and purple Many OF these have a
touch of dark fur or black velvet for
while delicacy characterizes all the eve
ming tints they must not be too dry.
Fringe OF all kinds is fashionable for
the evening. Perhaps chenille is soft
est: but bead fringe is rich, and also
Jet. And jet fringe trims SO much just
now. both for afternoon and evening,
that one might say there was almost q
craze for 1t. 1t is put on goods of any
color and any weight, the chiffons em-
ploying it fully as much as the vel
rat
