MRS, CRUIKSHANK'S TEA


 pliment to Miss Wilcie Dickerson and MT. Frank Jones, the dinner guests be-
 ing the members of their wedding party.
 The dinner was served in the main cafe. as the private dining rooms were too small for the unusually elaborate arrangements. The table at which the guests were seated was in the form of an X, and suspended over the table
 was large wedding bell of white and yellow chrysanthemums. Ribbons
 to which were attached the dinner
 cards bearing the names of the men
 were arranged in the floral bell, and
 the women guests drew the names of
 their dinner partners. The dinner cards were handpainted in a design of loving
 cups, ornamented with yellow chrys- anthemums, and the handles were done in gold, making them exceedingly ar tistic. The table decorations were most beautiful. Gorgeous chrysanthemums formed the central decoration, and the candelabra were shaded in yellow. At one arm of the x was seated the hos tess and Mrs. William Barton Dicker-
 son, the mother of the guest of honor. Miss Dickerson and MT. Jones were seated at another arm of the table, and at the two remaining arms of the beautifully decorated X were seated
 Miss Ellen Dickerson, who will be maid of honor at the wedding, and Mrs. owen Brown, and the house guests of Miss Dickerson, Miss Bess Holdredge and Miss Eugenia Smith.
