EASTER PARTIES.

Quaint Decorations For Children's Entertainenants.

Entertaining during Easter can scarcely be considered bad form when its object is to give the children innocent pleasure. So. then, the Easter rabbit and the Easter chick are fascinating creatures and can be used to such advantage in table decoration and the making of Eas’er favors that It seems a pity there should not be more Easter parties. If one’s conscience is particularly sensitive in regard to Easter frivolities the Easter party may be held a week after Easter. Charming favors are in the shape of large papier macbe eggs mounted ou wands, a rabbit’s bead peeping out of the egg and its surface being covered with pictures of flowers, either band painted or of the transfer kind. A knot of ribbon finishes the handle. A yellow haired child could be dressed to represent Easter. Over her little short full skirt of white crinkly paper have a sort of pannier effect, made up of numerous yellow ribbons with tiny yellow chicks on the ends. These should hang from a belt of soft yellow satin A garland of these tiny chickens on the hair and one perching on the toes of the little white pumps would not be a bad idea. And why not have a brother and sister present the red and blue goblins so familiar to good and bad children? Large sailor hats can easily be covered with red and blue: then on the white wash suits can be arranged large colored sailor collars. Colored belts and colored silk stockings will complete the costumes with almost no trouble. A brown haired little girl may be dressed as a rainbow by using filmy chiffou of the rainbow hues. Silver slippers and silver coronet in the hair will complete this bit of loveliness.
