colorings TO harmonic with the floral
decorations of the occasion. Because of
its many attractive possibilities. con-
fetti is rapidly being submitted for the

Where the confetti is bought by the

chosen in rose petal form and color
ing. it should be placed in bags OF the
palest pink maline, so fragile that II
will puncture with the fngernail when
the contents Of the bag are to be used.

be utilized in the same way, though the
cost will be slightly increased. Where

a square Of the desired size, put
handful of confetti in the centre, pull

lust below the corners tie round and
round the maline with narrow satin
ribbon. Where there is no objection TO
the extra time spent, the projecting
corners of the maline can be decorated
with paper rose petals, attached with
little paste. The ends of the ribbons
NAV also be tipped with some appro-
pirate favor, such as an imitation we'd
ding ring, a tiny china slipper or an
artificial orange blossom.
Other containers for confetti are

paper, manipulated as a fabric would
