will refresh the eye and senses to see
bouquets frozen in ice blocks, rose
leaves, yellow, pink and red, or violets,
and even the green leaves will give a

great punches Of roses, pinks or indeed
any and all pretty garden flowers.
a new color combination for floral
decorations is pink and yellow, and it is
really beautiful, decidedly newer also
than the red and yellow There are only
certain shades of the two colors that

Strawberries promise to be plentiful
before long, and if you have never tried
them for breakfast or luncheon with
anisette do so, and see what a pretty and
delicious course it makes. The berries
on pure white china. The plate must
also hold q spoonful of powdered sugar
and liquor glass filed with the cordial.

For the benefit of June brides we would
say that instead of rice, the usual fare
well shower lavished upon departing
couples now, shower of rose leaves falls
upon them. How much sWeeter, pref
tier and more poetical it is; do we not al

mine are so frequently used nowadays
for the boquet, is it not fitting the queen
of flowers should come in somewhere?
The wedding veil of tulle is far prettier
than the costliest OF laces. 1t is usually
three yards square. This should, how

bride, as in no instance should it be

whip as well as the uncertainty of every
thing passing off in good shape.
| Mrs. T. J. Almy set the entertainment
ball rolling last week with one of the
most elegant and quite the largest enter
tainments given. 1t was an afternoon
reception on Tuesday from to o'clock.
One hundred and forty invitations were
issued, and every one that could accepted.

is prodigal of her fruit blossoms, and
Mrs. Amy conceived the happy thought

a genius alone who subdues nature to her
plans. The decorations, therefore, were
a profusion of the varied bloom upon our
trees, together with the rich coloring of
the tulip which gave the brightness and
glow necessary to a proper balance of
shading to produce an artistic whole.
Miss Grace Wallace and Miss Mary
Louise Anderson graciously presided over
the refreshments, sending out Iplates of
pretty pictures, wherein was cup that
