4 EASTER DINNER TABLE,.

An exquisitcly beautiful effect may be
obtained In decorating the Easter dinner
table by the use OF beautiful Easter bells
made Of crepe and tissue paper and trimmed
with flowers of leaves to correspond with,
the other table decorations. Use the bells
which are six to eight Inches high, to
suspend from the chandelier by means
of satin ribbon and bows, being careful
however, to arrange them so as not to
interfere with the comfort OF either host

OF either. II candelabra are used, the
bell shades to match may also be used
with good effect. ss iys VI
