strap. When the shoulder strap is upon

when removed the sides fall apart and
the garment is easily removed. 1t is
quite a time-saver and improvement
over the button overall.

in the dainty place cards The latter
| were hand painted birds nests filed
with pretty colored eggs. The color
scheme was in yellow and purple. An
arrangement of jonquils with their own
foliage formed the centerpiece from
which radiated sprays of Southern smi-
lax leading to purple-tied cheese waters
placed at each plate The confections
attracted no little attention. A yellow
hat and purple paraso1 were the form of
the larger pieces, while the smaller were
in the shape Of popular Easter flowers
