PARIS, Fobruary 5th, The beautiful Champs Elysees theatre was packed to suffocation point one night last week when the Bal des Petits Lits Blanes.

ball of the year, the mere fact of ite objective to help the unfortunate orphans which the war left in its trace-being

irresistible to the remainder of

a community who might, otherwise, not bother about the fate of war or any other type

of orphans.

A novel and practical feature of the ball was a circular Aluminium bridge, slung half way between the stage and the auditorium, on which took place the important business of drawing as well as the side-shows the lottery and sketch provided by the assisting artists.

The Egyptian type of head-dress,wax also worn a great deal. This shows a semi-circu- lar flap in front and two similar daps fall. ing over the ears.

The latest designs are wide and not very. high, so that they sink into the coil of hair placed low down on the nape of the neck, and they are bodecked with feathery tufted which initate, as much as possible, a cock's tail.

Another idea is to attach the beak and head of a bird so that is spreads from end to end at the back of the head. Tufts of fea Thery fronds are arranged in flat mounts that are fixed on to a band that encircles the forehead; these stick up in front and take the place of the popular diadem bandeau.

The new evening dress hair-pin, seen in all its glory at this ball, is very dainty and light. Insecta supply the inspiration for its form and colouring, Butterflies, dragon- and the like have wings of gossamer flies, at a touch of velvet in a pale shade and they scintillate with the dull beads in
