cards cut in the shape of a flower.
Jonquils, tulips, marguerites and roses
lend themselves admirably to the
scheme To the winners pass vases
containing the score flowers. At the
finish everyone will possess at least
one or more Of the fragrant reminders
OF their good luck. The Ice cream may
be nodded in floral shapes, and the
small cakes ornamented with candy
roses, c~rystalized violets and rose
leaves may be mixed with the bon
bons. Each guest is supposed to con
tribute rs or 80 cents, whichever sum
Is agreed upon, to the charity for
which the party is given.

The Paper Wedding

The first anniversary of the we'd
ding day brings the %jolliest kind Of a
celebration, the paper" wedding. Very
pretty tablecloths and napkins come
In paper, so they are just the thing for
the dining-room table. II these are not
obtainable, get plain white paper and
make a border of the lace paper used
for pantry shelves. Use paper flowers
In decorating, and beautiful portieres
and draperies can be made by cut
ting crepe paper into strips and hang
ing 1t from grills, doorways and over
the lace curtains. The invitations may
be inclosed in tiny Japanese lanterns
and delivered by messengers, or they
may be sent by post in the ordinary
way.
If one cares to go to the trouble,
the hostess may wear an entire gown
pf paper, and request her guests to do
the same. Provide a supply Of paper
swapping caps, which will afford much
merriment. The ice cream or ice can
be served In paper cases, also the nuts
n bonbons. In fact the
of paper are almost endless. For
amusement hats and aprons of paper
could be made, also the cutting of sill
houettes and drawing pictures of
events in the first year of housekeep-
ing experiences, prizes being awarded
I according to vote. If desired, the
whole scheme may be carried out a la
Japan, for there are SO many articles
Of paper of this character.
A correspondent asks for the proper
vegetable to be served with meat.
There is really no cut and dried rule,
but custom dictates the serving of
peas with lamb; roast pork and goose
call for apple sauce; and chicken for
cranberries, either in the form of a
sauce or an ice to be served with the
meat course; game calls for currant
jelly and onions; creamed fish is ac-
companied by fried potatoes or Gro
quotes, while roast beef is served with
most any of the vegetables, although
tomatoes, corn and caulitiower are a
safe combination; a roast of veal needs
a piquant sauce of some kind, and
beans are a good vegetable to serve, be-
ing very nutritious, a quality lacking
in veal.
II the reader who asked how a black
straw hat could be cleaned without
looking dull afterward will take a stiff
brush and thoroughly take out the
dust, then brush lightly with water
which has been colored with goo,
black Ink, the result will be satisfac-
tory. Do not get the hat too wet
and work quickly.
Here is a good scheme for the churcl
fair that has had grab bags and fish
ponds. Make a flower bed and plan
in rows a quantity of paper blossoms
attach to the root of each flower
small article done up in tissue paper
Upon the payment Of five cents o.
whatever sum is agreed on the buye,

adjunct.

What better predicate can there be for
so important announcement? The man
who doubts it has only to call there and
prove it for himself. If he can't go by
