The Making of Appropriate
Costumes
for All Festive Occasions
By New York Exberts, IN the New Denn;son Section

THE newest form of character fancy dress
i costume is the regaiia or slip-on. 1t is easily
made, will fit any and SO is especially
suited to the eostuming of large groups of people,
as in folk Dances pageants and patriotic festivities
The instructors of the Dennson Manufacturing
Co., New York, experts in making these costumes, will
be here all this week and will be very glad to show
models and explain the method of making. Denni-
sons Crepe Paper is the material used, and this
very strong and durable and is made in many beau
tiful shades and designs it has proved to be the
ideal fabric. Every holiday and nationality may be
represented by appropriate regaa and the expense.
even for costuming many people, is comparatively
slight.
The instructors will also conduct classes in
weaving with crepe paper rope form of basketry
which is durable and beautiful rafha reed
and much easier to do The sealing art and
the of crepe paper in table and hall decorating
is very attractive.
This is opportunity which every teacher.
hostess and fact every one interested
in the social life of this cty-should take advantage
of. There will be charge for the instruction, and
the time spent in seeing the exhibit will be we'll
worth while.

Chinese Art.

The applicability OF Chinese art for
interior decoration OF any period is
being Suikingly illustrated IN recent
gallery opening ia New York. The
idea that anything Chinese is gaudy
is being gradually displaced. In the
carving of gems, the working Of metal
and in tapestry designs the Chinese
are without rivals The owner of the
new gallery has lltted up half score
of rooms in period designs-there is
the old French and English. the
American colonial, the carly Italian
and the Holland rooms Fitting snug
