A Tree Shower.

A hostess with a large lawn de-
yised this original and pretty shower
for q summer bride-elect. She had
the lawn gayly decorated with Ian
terms and rugs spread in coy spots
surrounded by shrubbery with camp
chairs and little tables where tea was
served.
The guests were asked to bring ar
ticles for a miscellaneous" shower.
After they arrived there was a short
musical program Of love songs. The
packages were tied to a beautiful
evergreen, a real little Christmas
tree. It certainly was q loaded tree,
for the hostess had added q lot Of tin
things like cooky cutters, graters. ETC.,
that sparkled in q most bswitching
manner.
Each parcel raj accompanied by a
rhyme or sentiment, which was read
aloud. The 0rideelect was handed a

appropriate symbols for place cards
at q bride-elect's luncheon or dinner
party. They may be easily made at
home. First cut the design out of
paper until it is satisfactory, then use
as a pattern on heavy dull paper or
cardboard that comes for just such
purposes.
A very slight knowledge of water
colors will serve to decorate them
with orange blossoms, forget-me-nots,
heads of pretty girls with %coronets of
tiny roses and the bride with a flmy
veil.
Entire figure place cards are eff
fective with a standard to hold them
upright at each plate. At one dinner
for a bridal party the place cards
we're little photographs of the bride
and groom in frames of gilt with mats
made from the bridal gown.
A coterie of college girls had these
unique souvenirs. which also served
as place cards. Books were made OF
white satin, with the words "Our Wed.
ding Cards" done in gold. They were
to preserve the wedding cards of the
girls as they came out, and there were
spaces for newspaper clippings de
scriptive of the event: also places fol
a few written notes.
! think photographs of the bride and
groom should be added to make this
record complete. The name of each
girl was done in gold on the outside
cover, and thus it made the place card

II think the mother of a ~six-year.old

cut us out. of grandfather's will. OF
course, we send him to Sunday school
and we both attend church, but we
do not ask a blessing at the table, nor
do We have family prayers. GRANDPA
ther does. and it happened that the
morning after we arrived Johnny was
excused from the table and went out
in the yard to play. Grandfather led
the way into the sitting room and we
all knelt down in prayer. Imagine my
horror to see Johnny's little face peer
ing curiously through the blinds and
hear him sing out: Hey, in there,
what kind of a game is that you're
playing? Amt you the rotten bunch
not to let me in on it. I arose and
softly whispered to him to on and
play, and he sang out: You're it,
mamma, you're it; make a home run.
Now, what car you do with a small
boy, anyway? 1 can never explain
matters to his grandfather"
