olOCkS OF Ine same nandKerCnleIS may
be made for the men and matched with
the aprons, thus partners may be chos-
en- for refreshments.
The paper wedding marks the second
year OF welded life. and it may be
made a very pretty affair, for paper
Is a very decorative material when
used with artistic SKILL
There Is almost no limit to the pos
sibilities OF decoration. OF course the
invitations must be issued in the usual
way, with the date of the original
ceremony.
Choose whatever color is desired and
make shades for all gas or electric
lights, cover flower pots and jardiniers
and make portieres and draperies Of
three-lnch strips of crepe paper Lacey
japanese parasols, fans doilies and
wall panels may be used, also paper
napkins and table covers. Very nat
rral paper flowers may be made or
purchased. Paper cases come for hold
ing salad and ices, and even the tum-
blers may be covered with dainty
frills of paper. For favors the large-
sized Swapping motto caps are appro-
priate and decorative. They may be
piled In the center of the table, at
tached to ribbons and drawn out by
the guests.
IF the host and hostess as well as
guests are attired i'm costumes of paper,
SO much the merrier. In this case
little booklets may be passed with
pencils to put down what character
each person Is supposed to
represent. A prize of paper may be
awarded. There are so many lovely
Taper novelties that the hostess may
give souvenir to each one. Baskets
of braided paper containing tiny
fern are pretty for this purpose.
If more hostesses would invent anus
ing games to please their guests instead
of depending upon something to turn
up or that some guest would know
something interesting, half of these
social affairs would not be so dull. A
good idea is the black art game.
Send one person out of the room,
who must be in the secret with the
leader who conducts the art" The
latter tells the company to choose any
object in the room and the person out
side will be able to tell what it is. The
object being selected the person is
called in and the leader points to a
number of things, including something
black, the object pointed to Immediate
ly after the black article being the
right one.
This can be done a number of times
and the people not in the secret will
remain perfectly myStified as to how
the correct object is found.
There are hundreds of games like
this that when only played for a short
time do not get tiresome but make the
afternoon doubly entertaining and in
still a wish in the guest to come again
to such an affair,
A great many fads are running their
course now in chinaware and for a
chatting dish supper Is used a new
Doulton ware which has a cream
cclored ground with a green border
with a decoration of coaching scenes
in excellent colorings. 1t comes prin-
cipally in plates and jugs. Not unlike
these in coloring, but of German ori.
gin, are tall covered punchbowls, very
elaborately decorated with drinking
scenes in color. Among English dinner
wares sets of plates intended for a
single course are almost covered with
an intricate design of green leaves,
very realistically painted. The green
is guiltless Of any suspicion of gray,
real old-fashioned green, and it
makes its appearance in a good many
other ways, even extending to whole
dinner services.
From party to becoming colors is
seemingly long skip, but If one must
go to parties one must be becomingly
gowned and half the trouble is in
choosing the wrong colors.
A pink and white blonde with gray
or gray-green eyes should not wear
pale or light blue, because there is no
shade of blue in her eyes. Her colors
are white, pale green, mauve, deep
brown, navy blue, turquoise, cerise,
blush pink and black. Navy blue, pur-
pie, especially if the hair be golden,
and silver gray are all good for street
wear; lily-leaf green, white, pinky
mauVe and white over green will be
ideal for evening" Yellow, too, may
often be most successfully worn.
Such blonde may wear black.
white, crimson, cerise mauve, hello
trope, purple, pink and green-thesa
two in their darkest and lightest
shades-dark, warm brown and blue
gray. The blonde with brown or hazel
eyes will find all the foregoing be-
coming and may add pale blue, a deep
er shade of pink and almost every tint
of gray.
The red-haired blonde should avoid
pale blue-that is, genuine pale blue,
the soft pastel shades not being un-
becoming, but she will certainly look
her best In black or white. Next Is
order come very pale green, lemon
mauve, very dark green, navy blue,
deep purple, gray and very deep
wine color. This, however, must be
chosen with care, and lastly, a very
pale pink, which, when becoming, is
exquisitely so. Her sister, of the red
and cream complexion, needs careful
dressing, or she is apt to look coarse
and over-dressed. Her colors must be
chosen with a view to diminishing any
over-exuberance of tints in cheek and
hair, and, therefore, the faded shades
known as pastel in blues, lavender,
pink and greens will be admirable for
her.
She can also wear we'll a dull, soft
black, dark blue, dark brown and pur-
PIE.
The colorless blonde is another type,
the type known as "ash," very pretty
in it's own way, but who needs careful
dressing in order to look her best.
Supposing the lips are red and the skin
quite clear, the difficulty is somewhat
lessened; but, as often happens, the
