throughout the dining room, beautiful
festoons Of linen lace interviewer with
green being brought from the corners
to the center Of the room, from which
hung shower bouquet of white chry-
santhemurns bowknotted in lace.
The table was covered with a pretty

ed circle of chrysanthemums, this
same flower being used at the original
wedding. Green tspers shaded in green
tied with bow knots of dainty lace, add.
ed soft light in this room, where Mrs.
w. I. Duncan and Miss Mabel Taquinc
served the guests salad course, the
color scheme being carried out in the
refreshments.
From table entirely lost to view
amidst profusion of beautiful white
chrysanthemums, delicious grape punch
was served, the cups being passed BY

ed the guests as they passed into ths
living room, where they were met b,
