hostess who has an eye both to econo-
my and effect can originate really ar
tstic decorations at home. A good
idea is to purchase one Or two favors
and try to copy them. With little
practice you can make many novel
decorations which will help make your
entertainment a success. Three
ffths of the joy of eating is in the ap-
Dearance Of the dainties of the table"
The table illustrated embodies many
novel Easter ideas. The table cloth is
Of crepe paper, designed with rabbits
and great splashes of violets, though
if one prefers white damask cloth
may be used. The centerpiece is a
great bunch of Easter lilies, with
green leaves, in a large bowl, covered
with lavender and white crepe paper,
which has edges cut to form leaves.
At the base is a stunning lavender
Maine bow. Four crystal candle
sticks, with white crepe paper shades
tinted in lavender and ornamented
with vio1ets, add to the picturesque
effect of the table. Fluffy little chick
ems, which can be purchased for few
cents dozen, are attached with baby
ribbon of lavender to paper carts.
These wagons hold small candy eggs.
The ices were sprinkled with crystal
lied yiolets and served in tall glasses,
covered in lavender and white ruffled
paper and trimmed with long-stemmed
Violets. The place cards have little
chicks perched on the corner of the
card, At each place is bouquet OF
violets, either real Or imitation, for a
souvenir.

yellow and white were the predomi-
mating colors used in another table
The centerpieces we're of large wicker
basket, covered with artificial moss
and filled with yellow flowers. At each
place the place cards were of blown
eggs, gilded, with the name of the
guest written in white ink. Tiny nests

shaped 'bon-bons. For holding nuts
there were little yellow paper baskets
made by covering a small, round box
with paper, to which is fastened a han.
die of wire, wound with paper. AT
the top, tied on with a gold cord, is
a bunch of real or artificial flowers.
For this luncheon the chicken salad
was served in very small flower pots,
with grated yolks and whites of eggs
sprinkled on top, and sprig of pars-
ley apparently growing in the center.
The sandwiches were cut egg-shaped.
The ice cream was served in nest of
lady fingers. The small cakes were
egg-shaped and iced in yellow and
white.
1t is always wise to provide some en-
tertainment for your guests. When
luncheon is over give each guest a
string and bid them hunt for the egg
at the other end The strings cross
and recross about the furniture, and
much merriment results in the hunt.
Here and there a nonsense couplet can
be tied to the string, to give lest to the
search. At the end of each string
should be found an Easter souvenir.
The children to some extent have
appropriated Easter as their day and
much pleasure is derived in giving a
children's party the week following
Easter Sunday.
A table which certainly will arouse
the enthusiasm of juvenile guests has
a large basket in the center, covered
with twigs and green. From this rises
a white rabbit, holding in his front
paws an Easter egg. From the basket
to each plate are ribbons; at the end
