THE BRIDES TABLE.
How to Decorate It In a Charming
Manner.

A pretty suggestion for brides ia
BILE this year is symbolic crown OF
happiness for the center of the able.
The framework of the crown should
consist Of wire covered with white sat
in ribbon and maidenhair fern. Fin
in the framework with white hya-
cinths and starry white Japanese mar
cissus, and have the points of the
crown tipped with tiny white lighted
tapers. From the chandelier. sweeping
low over the table center, pbSe Il soft
white dove, suspended by broad white
satin ribbons. Crown the dove With
tiny hyacinth flowers, and have stream
ers of narrow white ribbon fall grace
fully from its beak to the places ar
ranged for the guests. Have dainty
white heart shaped bonbonneres attach
ed to the ribbon ends. Incose tiny
white pencil and a bit of ribbon tied
paper in each heart box. and bid each
guest write some sweet message of
love and happiness to the bride. which
she may carry with her on her journey
into the new life.
Another charming decorative scheme
for bride consists of four long, loose
streamers Of white satin ribbon
stretched diagonally across the room
from each of the four corners Of wall
and ceiling. The ribbons lattice each
other by crossing In the center of
the room over the dining table, and
from the ribbon lattcework unequal
lengths of white satin ribbon should
fall toward the table center, each deli.
cate streamer ending with a bit of
smilax, a dainty bow and single In.
verted Easter lily. The overturned
flowers form exquisite natural wed.
ding bells.
For the centerpiece use large round
table mirror, hedged about with nat.
ural and artificial lilies. The artificial
flowers should be set in beds of sml.

low tapers fastened firmly in the hearts
Of the flowers. The effect of the table
will be indescribably pure and bride.

How to Clean White Gloves.
There Is no excuse for not wearing
white gloves In the morning. because
to keep them clean Is so little trouble
and absolutely no expense. In the aft
ernoon or evening the gloves should
be put to soak overnight in water that
is only warm, but very soapy. Any
good white laundry soap serves the
purpose In cases where the gloves are
extremely dirty soap may be rubbed
on them directly, but this sometimes
stiffens the leather. After lying in the
water until the next day the gloves
should be put into n fresh soapy bath
and squeezed, not rubbed, under wa
ter. The soaking will have loosened
the dirt, and this one bath should be
sufficiently cleansing. If 1t Is not, put
the gloves through another soapy wa
ter and then rinse in warm, not hot,
water. always squeezing and never rub
bling. When the last vestige Of CRIME
is removed, spread out the gloves on
soft towel, pulling them into shape.
Every hour or so afterward they should
be taken down and rubbed between the
hands. In this lies the secret Of their
drying soft
