 The favor table that ran half the width of the room lent a brilliant dash of color to the scene. Wands tipped with enormous American Beauty roses tied with q shower of American Beauty tinsel were massed about the board that held this splendOr. There were the most exquisite bits everi concocted of papers tUlle and tinsef French caps with chic flower ornaments. caps, horns. bells. everything in fact which could possibly add to the gayety and beauty The reins and whips which Were used in one of the prettiest fig ures were also the most charming faV- ors They were of Dresdon crepe paper with tiny whistles and bells and em- belished in hand made flowers and fluffy bows of tulle.
