CUPID AS A BRIDE
He Appears on Wedding Place
Cards in Lace Robe and Veil.

Uprermost IN the minds Of many persons
us, now arc wedding functions. and such
an array of plaC. cards as nave been pro-
y!ded for these affairs has never been dis
played before. Expensive as they are, they
are in great demand. Brides, wedding
bouquets. slippers wedding bells and Cupids
appear on most Of them, but on these basic
ideas a surprising number OF changes can
be rung.
The most exquisite little brides with hlmy
tulle wells and bouquets OF tiny artificial
orange blossoms are shown by a well
known Fifth avenue firm. These are hand
painted and so are the little shower bou-
qLcts which are finished OFF with real satin
ribbon strcamers Cards showing part of
church with a tiny gilt bell suspended in
the tower are among the novelties. Chubby
Cuplds capped as messengers and carrying
bouquets. hat boxes and kilograms. are
good sellers and the little high heced slip
pcrs filled with orange blossoms are ire
sisuhlc.
This is probably the first season that
Cupid has appeared as a bride. Larger
square cards with rough edges show the
