on rounds of brown raper scalloped to

rounds were pasted on white paper

Gingerbread men, women, children
and animals were served with cups
and tumblers of milk. Peppermint
candy and nut sandwiches completed
thr- simple refreshments. Each child
had a gingerbread favor to take home,
carefully wrapped in a pretty paper
napkin. To the child who found the
most peanuts, which were hidden over
the lower floor, a copy of the "Little

was given. The guests were all at

SPRING MILLINERY
Dress %hapes Promise to Be
From Medium to Rather
Large.
tSress shapes for the spring of 1912
promise to be from medium to rather
large, says the Millinery Trade Review.
The large shapes have wide brims, six
laches being nothing unusual. The
crowns are rather small for the size of
the bnms, ranging in height from about
two to four and a half inches. The
large shapes are both circular and ob
long. and occasionally a brim projects
considerably more to one side. The
crowns are both square and oval.
When a hat comes well down over
the head, it does so In rather straight
lines, fitting very closely: and in this
connection we notice nets worn over
the hair, which seems very wise when
one has to try on many hats in the
course of the day.
Gome of the wide brimmed hats have
Just a slight bend Upwards at the front,
and in wearing these flat looking hats
tHey are usually tilted a bit to one side.
Some shapes are being made with
smooth straw tops and brims with a
rougher straw for the under brim.
It is noticeable that many of the
shapes are being made in the darkest
tones of the new color* on the shade
cards.
Turbans are of rather a large va
riety. with a general tendency toward
height, Wh^re the turban itself is not
tall, a trimming to give it height is in
order. The turbans are made of glossy,
as well as dull, fancy braids, in nacre
and plain colors. Mixtures of two sorts
of braids are not uncommon.
Spring Hats of Flowers.
Turbans of flowers are mixed with

frames on the ancient Egyptian order.
All of them look soft as well as snug.
In quite some medium fize hats the
brims are of straw and the crowns are
tarns or nacre taffeta. Some of the
tama are fuller and turned up at one
side. Nacre taffeta is also used for fa

The brims of the white shapes are
often trimmed with flowers, and a
pompon composed of the same sort of
blossoms stands up in colonel effect
toward the front or side. Garlands of
flowers flt well between the brims and
the tan crowns.
Fancy feathers are also used to give

Grass effects are combined with the

Laces and Plumage.
