Dinner Party.
A charming idea was recently car
ried out at a dinner party given to
celebrate an engagement. Eiolets
were tightly packed in a large luster
bowl, which was placed on a mirror
in the middle of the table, and formed
the most important part Of the deco
rative scheme. When the meal was
finished the hostess distributed the
flowers, which were found to be done
up in neat little bouquets, the stems
being wrapped in silver paper, to each
woman guest, much to her surprise
and pleasure.
Among the most charming Of the
crafts Of today is that of making
raised floral decorations, and objects
treated in this way can be applied to
a very unusual, coIorful and beautiful
scheme for table decoration. In the
center of polished table is placed a
large, fiat bowl, measuring 1914
inches across, made of decorated pa
pier mache, such bowl as may be
found in practically any of the large
stores. Outside 1t is painted black
and inside it is tomato red. On the
outside is a narrow wreath of raised
fruit, consisting of grapes and apples
and oranges, with jade green leaves.
Piled in the middle Of the bowl is a
little real fruit, chosen so as to ac-
centuate the Colors in the decoration.
The lighting on the table is given
by means of two tall electric candle
sticks, painted black, like the bowl,
with a little of the decorative fruit
near the top. The candle shades are
OF plain parchment paper. painted to-
mato red. Even the menu stands
strike note of novelty and help to
complete the scheme. They are tiny
gold baskets. filed with plaster flow
Of papier mache, painted like the cen
ter bowl black outside and tomato
red inside, and with gayly colored fruit
borders.
Bowls are to be found in all sorts
Of gorgeous colorings. a wonderful.
blue, lined with black, is especially
effective when used with blue silk
candle shades having red and yellow

Invitations for boy and girl dances
must be on cards of the most correct
kind. For younger children pretty
fancy cards may be used, but what
ever they are, send them out in good
time. Young people have many en-
gagements.
The girl who dances on several eve
nings every week must be careful to
take special care of her feet and
ankles. Dancing Is generally bene-
nclaI to the ankles, and keeps them
slim and supple, but the feet are apt
to become hot and tired, especially
when girl has to stand or walk for
several hours during the day. When
this is the case it is advisable to dip
the fingers in a little methylated
spirit and to massage the feet and
ankles with it for half an hour be-
fore dressing for the dance. Before
putting on the stockings dust the feet
with talcum or boric powder, shak
ing a little into the foot of the
stocking
