Celebrating the Tin Wedding.

An author who was about to cele-
brate the tenth anniversary OF her
marriage describes her plans In this
way:
For refreshments, will serve coffee
In tin cup, with tin spoons, and dainty
sandwiches on tin plates; will pass
water in a tin pail, using a tin dip
Der. All refreshments will be passed
In tin pans. the walters will use tin
coffee pots to refill the coffee cups.
For centerpiece for the table, will
use a large tin cake pan, with an
opening In the center, in which a
small fish horn can be placed, the
cake pan and fish horn both being fill
ed with flowers. Shall decorate the
rooms with tin as far as possible. In
one archway shall use tin plates tied
together with ribbon, small hole
being punched in the plates for the
purpose. This will form curtain for
one aTchway. In another archway
shall use tin cups for the same pur-
pose Tin candlesticks can be used
II one is fortunate enough to have
them. Wire coasters tied with ribbon
can be hung on the walls to hold pho
tographs. Small tin spoons tied with
ribbons can be given as souvenirs, be-
ing passed around by the walters, in
a tin dust pam
A few more suggestions would be
that the bride carry her bouquet In
a tin funnel and the bridegroom could
have very small tin horn in his
buttonhole containing small bou-
quet. Potted plants and flowers may
be set in tin pals for jardinieres and
vases, and small tin basins can be
passed instead of finger bowls. Tin
foil may be put to various decora
tive uses, not forgetting to wrap the
bonbons in it.

A Good Thing to Know.

To increase the lasting capacity of
candles, KEEP them in the ice box for
"a hours before using. They will
burn much slower, and to the up-to-
date hostess who uses candles con-
stantly this is quite an item. 1t is
quite customary to light the dining
room almost entirely with candles
placed around the room or the plate
rail- mantel and sideboard. These are
not shaded, and it is a very pretty
idea to have individual candles at
each plate. These are usually shaded
to protect the eyes.

"oId Ace" Kills Little Girl.

Cleveland medical circles recently
we're deeply interested in the death of
Dora Crzybeck. six-year-old girl, who
died Of 'old age"
The child's hair was as white as that
OF an aged person, her face wrinkled
as though with age and her whole APP
pearance was that of a woman Of
seventy years.
The disease of which the child died
is known as Raynaud's disease and is
very rare. Coroner Byrne called after
the little girls death and said he knew
OF only one other such case during his
years OF experience.

A lack Horner Pie nshower.


This is a pretty way to present the
gifts to a bride at shower If the
articles are small like hosiery or hand
kerchiefs. Make Jack Horner pie in
the colors the hostess wishes to have
and when dessert time comes (f the
occasion is a luncheon) ask each guest
to pull her ribbon and as the package
is forthcoming, each one has some ex-
cuse to find like This piece of pie is
too large, please hand it to Miss B.,
(the honored guesD. And the next
one says: my piece is very much
too small, just pass it to Miss B."
This makes loads Of fun and opening
the parcels adds zest to the occasion.
1t is well to have an appropriate senti-
ment written on the donors card to be
read aloud. Handkerchiefs and stock
ings may be rolled and concealed in
tissue paper with fringed ends and SO
look like the swapping motto favors so
popular at all social functions. The
ribbons tied around each one and all

then, and the next generation found
out how to build larger houses. Some
of the women killed themselves TAX
ing care of them; but while they
lived. they had different room FOR
several social functions, and after
they died they didn't need them. The
large house habit has followed down
pretty well to the present time; but
a change is coming in our kitchen

largely responsible for it. There is

Died From Eating Too Fast.

James Gregory of Queens died sud
denly the other day. An ambulance
surgeon expressed belief that death
had resulted from strangulation, caus-
ed by too rapid eating and inadequate
mastication.
Gregory, who was AZ years old, went
to Mannings hotel for dinner. When
half through the meal he collapsed. He
was carried to a drug store and tele-
phone message was sent to st. Mary's
hospital, Jamaica, for an ambulance.
Doctor Stark found Gregory dead
when he arrived.-New York Tribune

The little front vestibule should be

There is room for II on the side OPP

found very useful for hanging over

you haven't room for in little house

OF this kind.

you do not need so much as your
neighbors have got In their large

The prevention of useless giving at Christmas
time is all right Too many gifts are delivered on
Christmas Day which do not carry with them any
thing nearer the holiday spirit than surrender To
custom or foolish seeking for favor But far better
than prevention of useless giving is the encourage
ment Of useful giving, which seems TO be the ms
sion of n group Of young women who have been
aiding the Society for Improving the Condition oil
the Poor by turning over 10 it the money when
otherwise would have into more or less useless
Christmas gifts.
This is not negative work. 1t does more thah
