living room doors were suddenly
opened and the honoree of the aft

ess TO find a beautifully appointed
brides table exquisitely adorned,
with covers laid for fourteen. Miss
Newsom was overcome with surprise.

table and beneath a softly shaded
light was circlet of satin ribbon
and over this was draped the four
/ teen streamers weighted by little goI-
den bells, the streamer ends extend

cutest little chatting dishes, filled
with rice. These were favors and to
the honoree's was fastened broader

circle, fastening to the dearest little
white linen chest which formed the
lcenterpiece on this attractive table.
