PERIOD COSTUMES,
Each year, a different period is chosen as a setting for the Grand Prix Ball, and this year the curious and picturesque ono of the First Empire was chosen and that period reconstructed by the aid of scenery efects and costumes reminiscent of a treole ball given during the reign of the Eurpress Josephine. As Josephine, her self, was a creole (a word the French em- ploy to describe anyone of French parent- age born in the colonies) those who, at- tended
were able to choose their costumes, from A host of charming |souvenirs of this period and to add a still more picturesque toach by means of coloured Bandanas, wide brimmed Panuma hats, waving palm fans, red hibiscus Bowers and the like.
Usually, the ball is held the evening of the day the Grand Prix is run, but this year for some reason or other, it was held the evening before, so that any of those who attended it, bad just time to return home, charge and sip their café au lait before rushing off to Longchumps and arriving just in time to see Coram, and.

The foremost royal aviator is the King of the Belgians, with the Queen an enthusiastic sceand.

the charm that outshines all others, when the lips part in a smile, is the gleam of daintily polished teeth, a charm which Calvert's. Tooth Powder can help so much to secure.
Again, besides polishing so brightly those teeth that show, this delightful dentifrice gives the thorough antiseptic cleansing to the crevices, which dental hygiene requires. Being free from grit it cannot scratch or injure the enamel of the teeth.
