One year Of welded life brings the
Cotton" anniversary, and It may
be made a most attractive affair. So
soon after the original ceremony 1t will
probably not be a difficult matter to
arrange for reunion OF the bridal
party, and this alone will make the
occasion u memorable one. Send the
invitations on squares of fine cotton
cloth written with indelible ink.
Decorate the rooms with vines, plants
and branches. Over these put guam
tlty OF fluffy cotton flakes Portieres
and window drapes are effective made
from strips OF white cotton. II cards
are to be the amusement, Hearts is
good game, and there are so many
articles in the shape OF hearts which
will make appropriate souvenirs and
prizes. The dining-room table may be
covered with thin layers of cotton In
stead OF linen cover At each place
put a cotton SNOWFALL tied with ribbon,
the name card tucked under the bow.
Inside the ball put a tiny souvenir.
The centcrpiece should be a jardiniere
wrapped with cotton and filled with
the kind Of flowers that were used at
the event Of year ago,
There should be a wedding cake con-
tanning a ring piece Of money and n
thimble; all young people know the
meaning Of these symbols, and there
will hc a jolly time when the bride
cuts the cake. Have the ice cream
frozen in balls. tied with ribbons OF
spun sugar candy Of the color used at
the original wedding supper.
The gifts to be given the happy pair
are, of course, limited to articles made
from cotton. One little bride OF year

jamas. These were given by the bridal
party and were sent in q huge pack

the party Opening this box caused
much mcrriment, as on each successive
wrapping there was written clever
little rhyme.

White Ones in Fashion.

A PRETTY DESIGN. One of the
prettiest styles of ebow-gloyes yet

arm OF white gloves, shaded a faint
shell-pink or a faint sea-green.
STYLES TO WEAR.-Except for
mourning wear. white gloves are worn
upon all smart occasions For even
ing wear the glove must rise beyond
the elbow and meet the short evening
sleeve more than halfway up to the
shoulder. For day wear the gloves are
slightly shorter, and need not rise
higher than the elbow, for, although
day gowns are worn With short sleeves
this season, they are Of necessity long
or than those worn In the evening.
CLEANING WHITE kID.-You can
clean white k,i gloves at home by this
process: Place the glove in small
basin, and pour over just enough ben
soline to cover, set a plate over the
basin, so az to prevent the spirit evap-

minutes. Have u thick cloth ready on
the table and a piece OF clean flannel,
take the glove out OF the basin. let II
drip a little, set II on the cloth, and
wipe It with the flannel. changing the
surface constantly as 1t Is soiled. The

Japan, long stay in the South seas,
journeys to the south and west in the
United States, and visits in Mexico

When Miss Watts got back TO New

she was bubbling over with ideas
