If f!(llf J-y, 'fill PFJETTY and original favors make the greatest possible difference in th? success of .1 cotillon ami in t hi' enjoyment of tin? young people taking tak-ing part in it. Lots of fun is often made by (ho favors, nnJ oharmine effects nre produced. Any number of pretty favors can be bought, nnd of ronrvi" tome people use very beautiful snd expensive ex-pensive things for this purpose, but that norms rather foolish anil unnecessary unless un-less one is Trry wealthy, for, after m II. tho real result aimed at is nn enjoyable evening nnd pretty, artistic effects. Anything to wear or to carry while dancing the favor figure is especially do-tirablc, do-tirablc, nnd diffi-rent kimN of eolor Fchemes enn lc cnrricrl out with hats, warn nnd such things. A girl who plans a holiday danee with ft cotillon can tnnko Fomo crceedincly pretty favors of this V.ni her5elf. Or, if she has not enouch time to give to the work to niak-Ihem niak-Ihem all herself. he will probably find plenty of girl friends who will be only loo glad to pend a few afternoons with her and help make them. the cardboard and the piores lapped over i'.kIi 1'tln-r and parted to the under Mde of I lie top piece. .Make the brim of n circle of cardboard, lb" hole in the crntre boing just I lie m;'."' of the crown, and thf outer cde fm? indie? out from this. Cover both sides with the rrOpe piper, leaving nn extra irch on the inner edge of each, which is ngain rut in slits nt intenals nml pn.sted to the Inner Fiile of the lower edge of the band. When the clue im quite dry the brim is bent into the shape of a corked hnt, being turned up at each side of the front ami nt tho back. Where it is turned up at the left nde fasten it with a coekado consisting of ft rosette of buff paper and a little brush made by cutting the paper in tine strips with the crinkle, not across it. Another style of hats which gives quite an amusing effect to the danco is a .sun-bonnet .sun-bonnet for the girls and a farmer's h.t for men, The sunbonnet is made on much the same principle as the Priscilla cap, but is larger. The half circle for the crown is somewhat larger and gathered ACE- I ill , ,zy, 1 If,,,! ' i-ss If,, ij I mi llw mmmS I IwMht ' pmg 4JW 0 1 If .

Make Beven of these fi-.'iihers nnd pstc them in fan yhape on the blunt end of ii long pointed stick. The r.hek is then covcusl with gilt paper whu h comes up fur enough to cover the ends of the feather. The fun may be made laru'e or smnll by making the feathers longer or shorter, .and 5t can be used in different wiiys, according as tlo leader of the cotillon designs the figure, i ' , i Several kinds of hats for the different Sgnres can be ni.ide, ono very pretty style being n. cocked hat for the men and a Priscilla cap for the Rirl. P.oth ct these re made of paper. For the Friseilla cap tut a strip of paper seventeen inches long ind six Inches wide for the front of the rap. Then cut a half circle, with its Itr.iight edge twelve inchr-3 long. Gather It a lit tlo in the centre of the curve nnd the centre of the Ftraight rdge and fasten the front piece around the curved edge, turning bark two Inches of the front to give a little flare j tronnd the face. These I'riscilla caps ' fhould be made of white tissue paper or crC-po paper. TUT, cocked hat to go rvlth this in of blue paper. For the crown make n round Ikx six inches In diameter. First cut the circle for the top of thin en rd boar J or .stiff paper and cover It with ilue crPpo paper. Cut a strip for the band trouml the crown about twenty inches long and four inches wide, and cover it, ,'oo, with crepe paper, making tbo paper in Inch wider than the cardboard. This xtr.a width is slit at close intenals into a little more, and the strip for the frorl of the bonnet is twenty Inches long nnd nine iin lies wide, and it is lilTened with cardboard. The crown does not come quite to the bottom of this, and into the extra S'pnce Is fitted .1 little gathered flounce tint hangs down the back of the neck. The Kiinbonnet can be nrnle of either flowered paper or flowered (Pmity fr checked gingham. As the farmer's hat to go with it must be a real straw hat the cotton material is best The prettiest effect is obtained by making them of dimity with many different flowers. The only way to get the effect of the farmer's hat is to buy the cheap broad straw hats that arc used by farmers. farm-ers. a VERT pretty design for one figure is a butterfly used as n head ornament for girls nnd, on the end of a wand, for men. The butterfly is made by bending bend-ing wire into the rf?ht shape an 1 covering it with crepe paper. The ends of the wings are then painted irregularly with) gold paint or black or some color thnt contrasts with the paper used, A few! black dots are also a great improvement. a The butterflies should bo of manv different differ-ent colors and the painting varied as much ns po-.sible. Id making the favors I for the girls, the butterfly should be fast- i large star of cardboard covered on both -ides with gilt paper. 'Whenever a slick r ving is wound with anything it is most iccessary to fasten the ends firmly, for f they b'gin to unwind the result is dis-fst dis-fst rons. A copy of a feather fan in paper makes i very cffi.oiive cotillon favor. This is made by cutting long strips of enpe paper two nnd a half inches wide, scalop:ng one edge and cutting them at each end ou the straight edge. Then gather the 1 ened to the front of a ring that will fi I on the head. The ring may be a wooden embroidery ring or made of twist-''' heavy wire. In cither cn.-e it is woutr' around with strips of paper like the but tertly. The butterflies for men nre fast-eni'd fast-eni'd to the end of n stick, which Is ids wound with the paper. For use in the same way ns the . favors, but giving quite a different ofTict, is a flower wreath and a star wand. The wreath can be made, either of artificial flowers or of paper flowers. A girl who knows how to make paper flower cnu us thorn, but it will take a good deal of linie to make enough of these, and one can buy very pretty muslin flowers nt the millinery bargain tables in the shops. The wreath is started with a ring that UI til (he lead, and this is covered with ribluiii or strips of colored muslin to Im.iich the flowers. The flowers are S'.-wcd to the muslin on the outside i lose lo-: lo-: get her, ii ud in the back there is a bow of ribbon with long ends. There may be the greatest variety iu the floweis used or one particular kind can lo chosen and all tiie wreat'u.s be alike, THE wand that belongs to this figure is very easy to make. A stick is wound with ribbon or strips of paper in two colors, und ou the end is fastened |
