Sunday, May 1, but were celebrated the

and a vase of yellow tulips. The
flowers came from Worcester, Mass, the
gift of Mrs. Blanchards two children,
Miss Lena Blanchard and Milton Blan-
chard of San Francisco, Cal. At each
plate was large white napkin with a
yellow jonquil in one corner. The favors
were yellow polyanthus and the place
cards were gilt with the first line of
'Auld lang syne" in one corner. When
