IN THE MATTER OF CAKES.

Aside from the brides cake which may
be either the imposingly decorated white
or black fruit cake, everything Is small
without soiling gloves or fingers. Usually
the cakes are made In sheets, then iced
and cut In squares, triangles or cubes.
Angel cake with hard icing goes parucu-
larry well this way, and can be decorated
with candied cherries. candied rose leaves.
candied volets, clover blossoms or elder
flowers.
While most brides prefer to cut their
own wedding cake as "A pretty touch Of
sentiment, the fashion OF distributing
small slices OF the cake daintilv boxed
prevails almost universaIly For this pur-
pose an extra cake Is baked and left un-
frosted, then packed in tiny boxes ready
for each guest as they leave the house
While some of these brides boxes are
very expensive, as witness the so white
satin, heart-shapod boxes valued at $500,
which were distributed at the Could
Drexel wedding, there arc very pretty
once made of white pastcboard and lined
with lace paper that sell as low as five

gold. silver or white. and usually in Ro-
man script. These raised Of embossed

tied with white satin ribbon from a quar-
ter to half-inch in width. IL the box is
rectangular in shape the ribbon, a little
less than q half yard in length Is tied
around the box on either end. There are
no hard and fast rules about tying these
ribbons. so each bride Is at liberty TO sell

quires def fingers to give these knots an
