Often, too, the older folks have occasion to join in the search, and brains and trunks are ransacked to add to the attractions of an evening’s entertain- ment by the representation of characters froâ€"m history, mythology, or fiction. tun‘nl up ‘10:..0 :‘ it... nnp‘nln-II- ‘no- 11:: - The effectiveness of such a costume does not depend on the costliness of the material. ' Artistic drapery can u produce wonderful % results in the way of Greciancostumes, and gods and goddesses, out of so simple a material as sheets. If the lines of drap. ing and the colors of : the costume chosen as a model are follow- ed, the result will be pleasing, whether the material used be cambric or silk. Beautiful color-effects in draping can be ob- tained with the FIG. 1. ANGEL cos- cheese cloths, which TUME. come in all the deli- cate shades. The writer once saw a. number of young ladies ; dressed to represent the day. Some were robed in gray to represent the dawn, then came the rose-pink of sunrise, the deep blue of the morning hours, the white of noontide, the purple of waning day, and, finally, the brilliant gold of the setting sun. V Aft; simple costumias which can be manufactured from material to be found in F every home, or that Can be purchased at a trifling cost, are here described, with sug- gestions as to ways in which the costumes may be introduced to form a feature in a social gathering, either in the home, the church or the grange. For a celestial party, the guests are requested to dress as celestial beings. A musical programme would be suited to the character of the party, and light refresh- ments, such as angel cake and ices or lem- onade should be serv- ed. An effective an- gel costume, after the old masters, is easily made of a sheet, white tissue paper _ and wire. Sew the m. 2. FALLEN two sides of the sheet ANGEL. together, leaving an opening near the nar- row hem, large enough to permit the arm to pass through easily, and rip an opening in the seam for the other arm. Gather near the narrow hem, leaving the gather- ing string long enough to slip over the head, and gather far enough from the seam so that it can be turned in out of sight. Slip on the costume, fasten around the waist with a girdle, and arrange the fulness above the waist to hang over the girdle, leaving the skirt long enough to just touch the floor in front, and in the back long enough to trail. For the wings make a frame of wire, of the proper shape, and cover on both sides with tissue paper. The paper should'be first i drawn through the hands, to make it crink- KU U‘ I' \J ll forms 1'. pluidio, which '0 e '3 pasteboard and cover- {, ed with silver paper. (1 The cap is made of l r ly, and then sewed loosely to the frame, so as to hang in full, soft folds from the top of the wing to the bottom. Fasten the wings with wire to a piece of pasteboard, which is sewed in position on the costume. (See Fig. 1). Some can dress as fallen angels, as shown in Fig. ‘2. A suitable costume can be made of a suit of red under flannels, with hoofs of black cloth to slip on over the .shoes, and horns also of black cloth. If the face is painted black, with touches of red, the result will be effective. It would be an omission if at a celestial ' party there were present no representa- tion of the Celestial empire. For a J apan- ese costume, use any pieces of bright- eolored cloth, either eretonne or worsted goods, long enough to cover the body from costume will have to be draped on the per- son.

An evening with the Scotch would be both instructive and entertaining for any social gathering, and would furnish an agreeable variation from pink and blue teas and cobweb parties. Arrange a. literary programme, consisting of readings from Scott, Burns, and other Scottish authors, bits of Scottish hisnory, and articles relating to the manners and customs of the Scotch. Those who are to take part should be dressed in the Highland costume, as k described above. _ \Vhen the company is assembled, “The Campbells are Com- ing” is played behind the scenes. on combs, in imitation of bag- pipes, and the High- landers march in to the music. After they have marched around the room two or three times, that all may FIG. 5. A nxowxls. see the costumes, the iterary programme is in order. This is varied by the singing of Scottish songs, such as “Scots wha hae wi’ Wallace Bled,” "Annie Laurie,” “Bonnie Doon,” “Oh VVert Thou in the Cauld Blast.” When these exercises are concluded the guests are in- vited to an adjoining room, were are served the simple dishes that constitute the princi- pal articles of diet in Scotland, oatmeal “parritch,” which is oatmeal cooked to the consistency of thick mush, oatcakes, a sim- ple cake made of oatmeal, with little or no sweetening, and for a drink buttermilk. Such a lunch will hardly be likely to cause troubled dreams. The Brownies were a race of beings fabled to dig and delve beneath the surface of the earth, and having the general appearance of old men. By the magic spell ot a few yards of brown cambric they can be induced to leave their haunts in the heart of the ‘ mountain, and come to help us pass a! delightful evening. The costume (seel Fig. 5) consists of a loose waist, short skirt, and leggings of the brown cam- bric, also white hair, a long, white beard, and a pointed cap, and in thei hand is carried a spade. The Browniesfi could appropriately read selections from} Robert and Mrs. Browning, and serve re- freshments, consisting of chocolate cake, chocolate ice cream, and chocolate as a. drink, their shovels being used as waiters. Quotations from the Brownings may be written on cards as souvenirs. RobinHood and his merry men, who used to wander through the forests of Old England, will add a touch of brightness at any social gather- ing. They should be clad in greenâ€"the color the band always woreâ€"and the cos- tume is easily Iashion- ed of cambric. It consists of a loose waist, short skirt and a round cape, draped over one shoulder. A cap resembling a Tam o‘ Shanter is trimmed with a long, white plume, and this, with ‘, low shoes, black stockings, wound with red braid, and bow and arrow, complete the costume (see Fig. 6). Let the band come» into the room together running at full speed, with drawn bows. “Under the Greenwood Tree,” and hunting songs can be appropriately sung by them. I FIG. 6. ROBIN HOOD. Manners of the Olden Days. Some of the ancient table directions are very quaint. You are told, for instance, not to eat much cheese, not to leave your spoon in your platter, not to play with your knife or roll your napkin into a cord or tie it into knots ; only to take two or three nuts when nuts are on the table, and not to get intoxicated during dinner time. The “Boke of Curtasye" also warns people not to play with the cats and dogs while at table. rl‘he hour for dinner underwent several changes. About 1400 it was 10 a.m. Henry VIII. dined at this time and supped at 4. In the sixteenth century dinner was at 11, breakfast at 7 and supper at 5 or 6. In the following century meals were an hour later. Disraeli tells us that in the reign of Francis I. of France folks rose at 5, dined at 9, supped at 5 and went to bed at 9, which, according to a popular saying, made them live to the age of ninety-nine. Louis XII., it is said, hastened his death by altering his'hours to please his young Wife; instead of dining at S a.m. and going to bed at 6 pm, he took to dining at noon and often sat up till midnight.

According to his account in the Electrical World of to-day Ewbank himself found a description of it in the “Spirtalia,” pub- lished by Heron in the 16th century and containing an exposure of the deceit: of the Egyptian hierarchy. The appath has all the elements of our coin-operated perfume machines, there being a slot at the top for receiving the coin, a pivoted lever on which the coin fell and a valve which was operated to let a little water escape every time the lever was depressed by the weight of the coin. Thus it appears probable that the- “nickel in the slot” devices, which have recently come into wide use were origin- ated more than two millenniums ago, and that we have only recently rediscovered a lost art. “The devices by means of which» our re- cent inventors provide against cheating the machines are no less anticipated in the early apparatus, for Heron states that the valves would not move until a coin of five drachma had been cast into the vase.” WThe number five is, perhaps, prophetic, but the sum of five drachmae, or about 75 . cents, spmks for the business superiority of. the original inventors.â€"N.

In a. recent article on meteorological phe- nomena, in their relation to certain ques- tions now much discussed, a California writer argues that the amount of moisture in the atmosphere is much greater than is generally supposed, its capacity for sus- taining moisture depending mainly upon its temperature ; thus, the atmosphere at 100c Fahrenheit at the earth’s surface is capable of sustaining, in an invisible form, mois- ture to one-fifteenth of its weight, or an equivalent, of one pound of water to every inch of areaâ€"it being thus readily seen what an immense volume of water may possibly be discharged over any given area when the atmosphere and electric condi- tions are fox‘orahle for its sudden condensa- tion, as in the case of what are called cloud bursts. ()f the latter, this writer remarks, in explanation, that warm currents of air; highly charged \\ ith moisture, are f1?» qucntly united by winds over mountains, where they meet with a coid atmosphere or a cold current, which suddenly forms dense . black clouds, that sometimes drop their l moisture in. j'rndigious cats. nets of rain-â€" i “cloud imrs:s,“as they are 1:<.:;~.lly termed.
