 Following are some directions for the celebration of this anniversary as given in The Ladies Home Journal:
 A cozy little dinner. to which those who were the bridesmaids and groOms- men arc bidden. with n few intimate friends. ir> usually the favOrite form of entertainment. Note paper may be had resembling birch bark which is suit able for the invitations The dining room may be made to look as ''woodsy" as possible with roping of evergreen and verdure of any sort. The introduo- ton of Christmas trees" into the room adds much to the sylvan effect. They are to be had almost for the asking in summer.
 A box made of twigs holding ferns makes an appropriate centerpiece for the table. and the cheapest wooden dishes lined with ferns will hold the bonbons and cakes quite acceptably. At each lady's place little toy bucket or pail-the slaves alternately of dark and light wood-will make very pretty receptacle for the flowers Wild flow CTS of all colors, those growing in the woods, arc appropriate and plentiful in June. The city florists are always in communication with persons who can supply them when they are ordered. The little pails have the additional ad- vantage that they may hold little wa ter, for wild flowers wither so quickly l The wire handles should be bound with ribbon and tied with bows. The name cards of real birch bark should have at the top the date of the marriage and the present date and un- der these the guests names all written in dark green ink. On the reverse side of the one given to the bride her hus- band might write the summing up of all wifely duties, quoted from the fa- nous game of Oats, Peas and Beans''-
 Now you're married. you must obey;
 You must De true to all you say; You must be loving. kind and good | And help your husband chop the wood while the groom may be reminded of his responsibilities in the same vein, changing the first line | Now you're married, this happy day and the last
 And keep your wife in kindling wood.
 The candle shades may be bought very cheaply of plain white crimped paper. decorated with bits of evergreen. The colors of the flowers should be repeated in the bOnbons and cakes, the green background of ferns harmonizing all shades.
 The bride should wear her wedding dress. Tho more old fashioned it be tht more interesting.
