SCHOOLS MADE BETTER

An educational reVOluIlOn, OF
evolution, is on in Minnesota.

life and city problems, now the
smaller high schools ane making

New Bridal Gifts.

Novelty in wedding presents for tho
bride is eagerly sought for by relatives
and friends anxious to bestow something
out of the common. 1t will therefore
come almost as relief to them to hear
that the fashion of giving accessories Of
dress is to become quite a feature Of the
season.
Exquisitely hand painted gauze scarfs,
eastern embroidered wraps, oriental
stuffs for draperies can all be counted
as accessories welcomed by every bride.
The notion opens out a new vista for
wedding presents. Travellers in far-off
regions may bring lengths 0f native hand
woven fabrics that may serve for some
kind of sartorial purpose. while no bride
is likely to look askance at furs that
come straight from Hudson bay.
Another new custom that is sure to
find favor is to model in flowers we'd
ding gifts that are too large to be shown
at the usual reception. For instance,
motor cars carried out In white heather.
pink roses. orange blossoms and myrtle
make highly decorative objects for the
occasion and stand for the real thing
itself in miniature.
Almost every kind of object from a
horse to a mansion lends itself to this
artistic floral treatment.

Christmas Masquerades.

One of the pleasantest sorts of children S
party to give in the holiday season Is
a masquerade of some sort. Children
up party meets their highest expecta-
tions of holiday fun
One of the most attractive sorts OF
masquerade parties is one that calls for
costumes of a certain era, or character
For instance, Mother Goose party,
where all the guests come dressed as
characters from Mother Goose. is always
successful. In such a case, and perhaps
in any masquerade party for children. it
is good idea for the hostess to tell the
guests that if they care to let her know
what costumes they will wear she car,
see that they avoid duplicating the CO.'S
tunes of other guests.
Other periods or sets of characters that
might be chosen for children,s parties are
these: Paper flowers when the children
might all comepdressed in crepe and tis-
sue paper costumes representing flowers,
Fairy story. characteristic Cinderella,
Jack and tnea Bean Stalk, Puss in Boots,
and Snow White. 49,
: A delightful masqueradeanartysfor small
girls was a Little Womann1party. All
the little girls came dressed to repre-
sent the characters in little Women. =
Some of the Older ones came ias Marmee
and the cook,r Hannah. The youngest, of
course, chose Beth and Amy and the
tomboys- chose 10. 1t was, great fun for
the various Amys to compare their curls
and for the Megs to exchange notes
about the way their skirts were held
out
A Wild West party appealed to a group
of children, especially to the boys. Some

of them donned Boy Scouts costumes
and posed as Rough Riders and cowboys
Others dressed in Indian costume and
danced about with many sbranGishings OF
tomahawkS and wild war whoops- Little
Indian squaws. with doll proposes on
their backs abounded. here were some
pioneer settlers, and some gold propect-
ors. One little pioneer mother came with
her four younger brothers and sisters IN
the guise of pioneer children and her
Older brother for q pioneer husband
They pulled the small children to the
place of the party in q toy express wagon
rugged up with a sheet like prairie
schooner.
A doll party is another successful sort
To give. Each child dresses like a doll.
There are big French dolls, of course.
dressed in silk -alsd-.laee and satin with
flowered and ribboned hats. There are
boy dolls dressed In sailor suits. There
are little girl dolls. dressed in white MUS
lin. with big sashes of ribbon. There are
character dolls, nowadays. dressed in
imitation of the small dolls that wear
gingham rompers.
A Japanese party is another idea The
children all dress in kimonos This is
especially satisfactory to the mothers, for
any woman can make q little cotton crepe
kimono without much trouble and at very
small cost The little girls can have
small ia IS or parasols or big paper chrys-
anthemums stuck I'm their haid to
heighten the picturesqueness OF their
costumes.
