The birthstone for November is the
topaz, and with the yellow chrysan-
themums coming on and the roses Of
yellow filling the greenhouses, there
should be little difficulty in finding
plenty of floral decoration at least.
The golden rod, which zones nearer
the deep, rich shade of the topaz than
any of the other blooms, may be the
very hardest to find at this time of
year, but If some effort is made il can
be secured.
Yellow as a decoration is old; and
new ideas for the working out of the
color scheme are not very plentiful.
Perhaps the newest may be found in
an attempt to play upon the yellow"
newspaper idea.
If this is done, so to a newspaper
or telegraph Office and secure some
yellow 'fimsy." Have the invitations
The invitations may read after this
fashion:
News comes from Michigan boule
ward that Mr.. and Mrs. John jacob
Graham will celebrate the birthday an
Biversary of Mr.. Graham by giving a
dinner to their close friends on the
evening of -, and that Mr.. and Mrs.

much in recent years, or If either OBJ

upon the table may be dressed in thi.
fashion.
The affair, being a dinner, naturally
will depend greatly upon the table ar
rangements for the completion of tn
central idea of the evening, and THU
can be carried out without difficulty
Flowers, arranged as the hostess de
sires, should form the center decora
ton. For the menu cards issue small
editions of a yellow paper, and thes'
