THE perennial fancy dress party,
which never d. es and never will
lose its fascination, Is due to arrive
along with Christmas and the opera
and other things that are Joy for
ever. There is something so exciting
in seeing those we know so well in
the garb of bygone heroes and hero
ines that the fancy dress party never
lacks animation.
Cousin George" CARRIED as Wash
ington, either commands a new admi-
ration and inspires respectful homage
or causes us to explode at the thought
of his appearing as the dignified Fa-
Their of His Country with a cherry
tree record for veracity. And who
would have thought that sister could
look SO beautiful and imposing as the
Empress Josephine, or who is not al
lured to dreams as the eyes follow the
dark-eyed Cleopatra. For genuine
pleasure the fancy-dress party is worth
the little trouble it takes to get 1t up.
Although the youngsters do not en-
10Y representations quite so fully as
their elders, the fancy-dress party
pleases them, especially If the charac-
ters they are familiar with in time
honored etorybooks or our own his
tory are impersonated. The fancy
dress party is very instructive, too,
and In it the national costumes are
fixed in the mind more clearly than
by any amount of description.
Four easily managed examples of
apparel for the fancy-dress party are
shown here. At the left a pair OF
Irish dancers and at the right a colo
nial dame and her cavalier. The dress
of the little Irish maid is considerably
idealized but easy to copy. 1t is

JUST at this time the number of

meets on the street and elsewhere
exceeds the number of larger hats by

She wears lace-trimmed cap of sheer
muslin with little bunch of flowers
at each side.
Her partner has velvet knee pants
and coat and striped waistcoat. He
honors old Ireland with a green tie at
his throat and wears a jaunty soft hat
The lace frills in his sleeves hardly
match up with the rather harmless
looking shillalah. which is another
tribute to his native land.
The youthful colonial gentleman is
arrayed in satin knee breeches, oraid-
trimmed satin waistcoat md long, vel
vet coat, cut in correct colonial ASH
ion. Lace frills at neck and sleeve
carry out the details Of his costume
which is sufficiently handsome TO make
one wish it might again become the
vogue. Rather too much ribbon adorns
his queue, and the hat IS aot in keep
ing with the rest of the dress, but
should be replaced by tricorn.
The little lady who is his compan-
ion might have come from the days Of
the Empire. and her garb is suffi-
GENTLY like that of our own time to
make one consider which claims
credit But at the fancy-dress party
one is liable to see shadows of those
who lived centuries apart disporting
themselves together. If the shades
of the departed, kings, queens, jest
ers, knights of old, are onlookers, let
us believe they enjoy the frolic and
commend the two-step and the tango

Brazil was the first American
power to admit and rejoice in the
Monroe doctrine, which in its first
meaning was 20 acceptable to young,

over which hung the menace Of re-
colonization. On its side the United

PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSIONS

In a recent number of the North
American Review Samuel o. Dunn
writes that thu spread or regulation
Of business by administrative com
missions is one Of the most marked
and important politico-economic de-
velopments in the United States in
this generation.
The disqualification Of legislatures,
courts and ordinary executive officials
for the regulation of business, hints
at some Of the qualifications that
ought to be possessed by the mem
bers of regulating commissions, he
continues. Ability, expert knowledge.
fairness in utterance and act, moral
courage to resist public opinion when
ii IL wrong, a. we'll - To enforce
their duty On refractory public utility
arrangements when they are wrong
these are prime essentials. But these
qualities are by no means UNIVERSAL.
While some members of the regu-
lating commissions have had the
needful qualifications in a high de-
gree too often W. have found that
many Of them have hardly had them
at all. Most OF the commissions have
been wanting in their expert knowl-
edge; many have been without bust
ness capacity, without professional at
tainments, and woefully ignorant Of
economic principles.

writer concludes:

our commissions with university pro
