Fortunately one of the milit'amen

the allies bivouacked on the field they
had won. Jimmy Boyd declares that

ing that the decorations are all white
and gold. The cloth should be of
snowy white. with center piece over
yellow. or the always pleasing pol

White tissue paper lilies may be made
at home or purchased to hold salted
nuts. and the yellow candles should be
shaded with white lilies, the holders
being of glass or brass. Plain white

tied lily-shaped cards bearing the
name in gold ink. Serve this menu:

The eggs has from time immemorial

one sacred egg.

For an Easter Weddino.

The week following Easter has al
ways been a favorite time for we'd
dings, so these few suggestions for
girls who are preparing for this mo-
mentous event are timely. White
flowers should be used exclusively
giving lilies the preference, but car
nations, roses. tulips. hyacinth and
narcissus are all effective.
A pretty conceit is to confine one
flower to room. massing in bowls and
using flower holders wherever it is
possible.

colored eggs are placed on the floor at
the starting point, and each child is
given a shallow wooden spoon, in
which the eggs are to be carried sepa-

AT a wedding of this kind, the at

Have the ice cream in egg-shaped
forms resting in nests of straw-colored
spun sugar; or it may be served in
cases made to represent lilies. Use
white candles in glass holders, white
flowers. shade the light with lily
shades and cover the floor with white
canvas. This makes dining room be-

OF course use green vines and ferns

The Seeing Eye.

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
Some one has said that the eye sees
what il possesses the means of seeing.
For example. the trained astronomer,

escope will discern an eighth satellite
of Jupiter where the unframed observer
is unable to detect even the minutest
point of twinkling light. The scientific
star gazer has brought 10 the telescope
not merely the retina and the optic
nerve of his own eye; he has brought
the stored experience of his predecessor,
his study and easy familiarity dc-
quired in lonesome nocturnal vigils, till
he can read the illuminated book of the
heavens with readiness quite beyond
the ken of the layman.

the subject of a European voyage. He
diSmisses four five countries In forty

to go more explicitly into detail as to
