Easter Suggestions.
Shape wire into the form of half an
egg, or get a florist to do 1T. Cover
With ferns n moss and stud with
small flowers. Fill it with small
boquets-violets would be lovely-and
to each boquet attach Il ribbon and
run to the place plate. where it may be
tied to a card bearing the name of the
guest. AS yellow and white are the
Easter colors. this scheme would be
effectively carried out with yellow rib
bons, jonquils n white cards. At a
party for children buy a large egg that
divides in the middle. Fill 1t with tiny.
fluffy yellow chickens and suspend over
the table or In a doorway. When the
GIBBONS that tie the egg together are
pulled. the chicks will fall in a golden
shower-one for each little guest.
