rniK-j Drrsi for Viu-nlloii niitcrtnln-
Illl-llts.
Often at summer resorts people wonder
how to furnish entertainment for themselves
as well luj the children In the hoteio and
neighboring cottages. There is nothing that
glvoj more pleasure than n fancy dress evenIng -
Ing , and a great part of this pleasure con
sists In preparing for the event. Tills de
mands much Invention of mind and skill
of fingers , for the materl.il , provided the
color Is good , counts for very little eo long
as the idea , or design , lo artistically carried
out. Wonders can bu accomplished with
bright colored cambrics , figured dimities ,
gold and silver paper , beads , ribbons , -span-
gleg , paper or. artificial flowers , charcoal ,
pen and ink. paint brushes , scissors nnd
paste pot. To aid In such preparatlona a
few ougqcstlons are given here for some
novel ccstumte which arc Inexpensive and
easy to make. A very pretty ccatutne can
be made from the Ladybird. The skirt
should be black and rather short , nnd the
jodice of scarlet , terminating with two
eng coat tails In the back , cut round. In
the shape of the folded wings. The sleeves
should be puffed and also of scarlet. All
over the sleeves , bodice and wlngn e-mail
alack spots should be gummed on or else
made w'lth Ink or charcoal. Red stockings
and- red m black slippers complete this very
pretty dress.
I'lerrette is an easy moJel to follow , too.
One costume , might be made of bright yellow-
cambric. with short skirt , tight bodice and
argc puffed sleeves. The skirt should be full
and trimmed with stripes of black , put on
n ft kind of lattice work , and If small black
lomponj are scattered over the entire dress
nuch effect will begained. . If the balls can
not bo obtained a few tiny -bows placed
icro and there will do very well , and the
jews can be- easily made out of ribbon or
dack cambric. A pointed cap. made after
he fashion of a dunce cap , In yellow , orr.a-
nented with pompons or bows , black gloves
ind black stockings , give the finishing touch
0 this Idea. Another Pierrette can be en-
Ircly drffsed In black without any touch
of color : and another In white , with black
lecoratlons. or in white with palo blue , or
txile green trimmings. In every case the
pointed cap Is a necessity. Pierrot for a
> ov Is all white with either red or blue
uots.
Miss Follv Ie also pretty. Her dress U
aiitastlc. Select a yellow cambric petticoat
and cut a bodice that fits , tightly , with long
and fiharp points descending to the hem of
ho skirt. The latter should fall only just
jelow the knee. This bodice can be made
of. pale blue or bright pink , violet , scarlet
or white. The low neck iind sleeves should
also be decorated with points , nnd every
; jolnt should carry at Its tip a tiny bell.
Folly is also a good costume for a boy ,
who. of course , should have yellow puffed
inlckcrbockera and A jacket ending In pjlnts
tipped with bells. He fhoulil wear a large
ruff around hU neck , cither of lace , white
[ awn , or of yellow cambric. The .Xorlh
American Indian is a clever boy's costume.
.Some brown cambric kilted under a belt of
gold paper , a fantastic sash carried diagonally
from the bhouldcr to the waist , Innumerable
strands of beads , which he can string him
self. and a headdress of turkey feathers , , will
euggn > t the tavage at very little expense of
tlniu or money.
The Sandman Is an easy costume for a
boy. He can wear a long gown of gray
cainbrlo with a cowl of the same , and , If hu
ran find a good gray wig and beard , he will
be much admired , especially if he carries a
bag marked "Dreams. "
Portia is simple for a girl. Nothing more
U needed than a gown of black cambric
with full white linen wderMeeves and a
neat black cap ; another easy one Is Winter ,
made of wh.tt cambric with a few bits of
raw cotton sewed here and there for snow ,
some Christmas tree tloeel. and a few
bunches of artificial holly If they can be
found. Spring is altvays pretty. Any com
bination of green arid white will do for this
with a few flowcrti scattered cm the skirt
and worn as a wreath. The Har\e t Queen
N pretty if dressed in yellow cambric with
buncht nf wheat and scarlet popple-s , and
a similar wreath. Dragon I-'ly ta nice fur a
boy , made of purple , and red cambric with
large wings and a few apaRglrs or ciUin |
wrinkled here end there ; and LI Hung Chang
Is another , for all that he needs Irf a yellow
cambric coat and a little black cap with a
peacock's feather. The flowers are all easy
to Imitate. A pink rose with a pink eklrt
and a green bodice with points resembling
the callx of the flower U very pretty , es
pecially If a wreath be worn on the head ,
and a cluster of pink rosen on one of the
puffed clccvca or BhouMcr straps. Iluttvr-
cup Uf easy , In yellow ; HO Is the poppy In
scarlet and gretn ; and fi'rn , In pale green ,
with real ferns tacked here and there or
drawn In Ink by t.omo clever fingers. I'an y
! harder , but very effective , If made In
purple and yellow , with an ovcrsklrt shaped
like the petal * of this ( lower. Tulip , of
pink and grten. Is nice , and so li unfluwerj
In yellow nnd brown. Night U simple with
black tarlatan ipatiglcd with gold paper , itar
All nf thitic ehould wear veils. Night a
Mark one , morning a hlutt or roiy out- , and
twilight white or blark. They can all be
fiitened with a cr < * cent. The kings and
of the cariln arc simple for both
and boyi. A whlto drem or coat , bor-
with black anrt covered tvlth large
. - rlet ilatnoml ! or heart * will do for
1 liber klnx or < | uun of hearts or dlamondi ,

Fashions In sliver jewelry , fancy articles
and tableware for the coming season show
many beautiful new designs as well as a
revival of many beautiful old designs. The
latter , however , are all modifications ; that
Is to say , while the design in the main maybe
bo old , , sometimes dating back to the Oay.i
of William the Conquerer , there nre always
some llttlo touches which bring It up to
the present day.
Kor tableware the newest designs arc after
the old English pewter tankard Beta. One
elegant tea service is perfectly plain , ex
cept for a tiny bead bordering. The .silver
tray Is oval , on lion claws. These claws ,
showing on the feet of the entire Eervice.
Another service , while not more costly ,
though more ornate. Is also of old Kngll.ih
draign. The shapes are not so old as the
tankard , but arc more graceful. The mout'.i
and top of the teapot , together with the
edges of the other pieces , are ornamented
by delicate garlands. The handles are of
ebony , 'the black of which sets off hand-

The tray designed to go with thUi set , la
entirely new. In nhapo It Is a broad oval ,
with a bottom of polished Mexlcun
mahogany having un ornamented nllvcr rim

and tillvcr IH a new Idea , and wan designed
by thu firm for which It was made. It has
a very pleasing effect and reduced materially
thv prict ) of the net. Ono ran ea.illy account
for thlx when recalling that thu tray often

garlands of rrf , hand carved. The handles

tray of Mexican mahogany , but of nolld

The latest In toilet silver U hand engraved.
The finish la cither Krcnrh gray or burnished ,
V
sj W7 ' MSfesSs
and the figures generally floral designs , are
engraved , as areone's initials or monogram.
In some very handsome sets ot this style
this silver Is heavily plateU with gold befoie
the engraving la done. This la the newest
style of silver gilt. Aside from being hand
somer , it cannot be dl.itingulshed from solid
gold , it possesses one great virtue. It Is not
nearly so easily tariilahed as silver. The
style next in newnera to hand-iMigravIng U
the empire , which comes In allver , burnished
or Krcnch gray , which , by the way , takes
the place of oxidized , and In sliver gilt. It
Is not so expensive as the hand engraved , but
a little more so than the old style which
showed heavy figurss really molded , though
they were euppcced to Jiave been hand
carved.
For powder nnd bonbon boxes , the favorite
designs show many Jewels In their heavy
gold or sliver tops. The handsomest of those
Ijoxoi .resembles squatty sugar bowls of ele
gant cut ghufl and EO large aa to be used for
a cracker jar. Indeed , a girl wno receives one
