14 SOCIETY Comical enough have been some of I February fancy dress dances, for their promoters have taken the recent much exploited dance as their model, and failed ludicrously in their copying, says a New York writer in the Columbus Dispatch. That event caused a burst of like affairs, for, reasoned the socially ambitious, every one that is any one is going to give one also, just to show that they are as good as any one •who is some one The result is easy to guess, though the most healthy Imagination could hardly have pre pared itfe owner for the arrays of cos tumes that resulted. The decree was set for historical get-ups, and there was a rush for old prints and paintings. Then there was another rush to the dressmakers, and therein was the mis take. To do the thing correctly, a costumer is the one who should super vise, for the usual dressmaker simply will not duplicate a historical gown; she will adapt. That means that she will modernize it and take all the character out of the gown. A favorite period for these ambitous attempts was the early part of the eighteenth century, and good Queen Anne was often the model. She seem ed especially attractive to the aspir ants because of the beautiful dressing of her hair. The good queen comes down to us in her favorite portrait with lively ringlets at the top of which rests the little round crown. That gave a chance to wear a tiara, and the cloak sweeping down from the shoulders and forming a train, lent dignity and height. But these women went to their dress makers with their minds fully made up MKS. ADIJIE F. BISSELL, OF LITCHFIELD, President of the Minnesota Relief Corns. as to what historical personage they were to represent, and advice whenever offered was seldom cf use. Consequent ly a host of plump lassies essayed Queen Anne and the-se queenly dump lings were a comical lot. When the lines were not drawn closely the danc ing did not harmonize at all, one with another, so that even were individual mistakes absent, the results were not very attractive. But individual blun ders were plentiful enough, and when It wasn't a dressmaker's modernized rig, it was, perhaps, a failure to make coiffure and gown harmonize. Alto gether such a motley lot of Britomartes, Unas, fairy queens, queens of Scotts and so on has not been seen in many years, and it is to be hoped that it won't be repeated for many seasons to come. The women that did not lose their heads to this craze for fancy dress par ties, and who steered clear of alleged historical costumes in the dances thiy organized, are to be congratulated on their good serfse. Of course those dancers who were correct and tasteful In their reproductions are deserving of much praise for escaping all the blun ders that might so easily have been made, and it is true, also, that they are deserving of sympathy for the loss they so frequently suffered from being •urrounded in the ball room by gowns (4URS@)FURS^ SAINT PAUL S0 LD / . Joj^jua,.... J...J:xmu CoPf^r.^ that detracted from the appearance of their own dresses. But the most de sirable thing is a handsome new ball gown of modern pattern. The announcement is made of the marriage at Thomasville, La., on Thursday last, of Evelyn Hartley, daughter of the late J. C. Burbank, to William Whitney Waterman, nephew of Bromson Howard, the dramatist. Mrs. Hartley has been living abroad for over ten years and returned to America for a short stay about eight months since. She first met Mr. Water man in London. The bride has many friends in St. Paul, having visited here a few months ago in the families of her uncle, H. C. Burbank, Mrs. Upham and Mrs. Col. Jothn L. Merriam. An exhibit of ceramic art is to be held at the Convent of St. Agatha in the near future that bids fair to be the event of the season in artistic circles. The work that will be exhibited will be the result of the labors of Franz A. Bischoff and the pupils that he has been instructing for the pact few weeks, the teachers of St. Agatha's convent, St. Joseph's academy and Holy Angels' academy. Mr. Bischoff has been the recipient of marked at tention since his. advent in this city, and his work has attracted a great many callers to St. Agatha's con vent. His ideas of the work were given in an interview in the Globe of yes terday. The exhibit will be held in the parlors of the convent. Two or three pieces of Mr. Bischcff's work have at tracted especial attention and they will be given prominent positions in the coming exhibit. One is an immense vase and the other two are jardinieres, the first decorated with many colored poppies and the other two with large bunches of red roses. The exact date of the opening of the exhibit will be announced later. PAST PLEIASAXTKIES.
