FOR WOODEN WEDDINGS.

Some suggestions for an original wooden we'd
ding entertainment are given in "Harper's Bazaar"
The rooms may be decorated with dafodls and
shavings, long, curly shcvings which make
pretty background for the flowers. Candles are
most appropriate for lighting and should be stuck
in wooden candlestcks.
Serve the refreshments in wooden bowls and
upon wooden plates. and have paper napkins. Sim
PIE refreshments are best on such an occasion;
say chicken Patt!es, pickle sandwiches, endve
salad, ices and little cakes coffee and punch.
The invitations must be written on little pieces
CT wood or on birch bark. Envelopes come in
paper made to initiate birch bark and the invita-
lions may be inclosed in these.
For arnusenents, let the men dress clothespin
dolls and the women white pieces of doll
furniture or have supply of moist kindergarten
clav and let the guests make statuettes, using
wooden paddles and toothpicks for tools.
