Mrs. Robert Elliott, whose gown was of white and off-white shades, wore a white headdress of crushed net trimmed with tiny Christmas ornaments and miniature trees. Mrs. Raymond Reter, who said she concocted her headdress "for laughs," wore a frame arrangement of lace and Christmas tree balls on which an ornamental bird was hung. Her gown was black.

Among the guests whose head O druses turned out to be conver sance pieces for the eveing were D. McGeary. The latter's head dress was a tiny house complete with chimney and a miniature Santa Claus with toy pack. Smoke, from burning incense, curled from the tiny chimney. Mrs. Gilbert used strings of Christmas tree beads for a head dress which came over the up per part of her face in eye glass fashion. The evening's gaiety began with a cocktail hour, followed by selection of the winning head dresses. Mrs. Frank Hopewell served as mistress of ceremonies for the contest announcements.

First seal two quarters of paraphin' together by dipping the flat surface in a shallow pan of melted paraffin and pressing one on top of the other. Repeat this process with the remaining two blocks to a pound package. Score one section down the middle lengthwise with an or dinary beverage can opener to provide space for a piece of candle wicking, which should be dipped in the melted paraffin and laid in the groove, leaving approximately one inch and a half at top of candle. Next dip the flat surface of one of the sections in melted paraffin and press together; then quickly turn entire candle in the melted wax, including the pro truding end of the wick. For decorating, or "frosting' the candles, melt one-half pound of paraffin and beat with electric or hand beater to the consistency of whipping cream, patting the foamy paraffin on the candle with a spatula or table knife keeping the candle square. It is suggested that the frost ing be built up approximately one-half inch above the top of the candle on all four sides. This forms a retainer for the wax as the candle burns. Do not smooth the frosting as it will lose a great deal of its effectiveness. The next step is to shake particles of sparkle onto the candle to complete the decora tions. The foamy "frosting" also can be used for other decorative purposes including tipping of pine cones, Christmas tree boughs and other items.
