Of the lordly gobbler to the homely but
palntable pumpkin. And, best OF all,
many OF these pretty favors and place
cards can be made at home with very
little trouble.
There Is perhaps nothing more eifec-
tive among these new ideas than the
pumpkin centerpiece, or Jack Horner
pie, as 1t Is sometimes called. This Is
really n most deceptive affair. for 1t
looks like n genuine pumpkin, but is
really cunningly fashioned from deep
yellow tissue paper held in shape by a
wire frame or frame Of rather stiff
cardboard. The stem and leaves are
made of dark green paper. The in
terror of the pumpkin is hollow and
can be filled with small favors for the
guests. with ribbons leading from it to
each plate.
This table receives an added touch
of gayety from having the edges
wreathed with pumpkin vines adorned
both with blossoms and miniature
fruit. The vines themselves are made
of wire wound with tiny twist of cot
ton batting and covered with green pa
per. The small pumpkins are simply
balls of cotton on wire stem covered
with yellow Grape paper. while the
| blossoms are of yellow tissue.
