have been asked to say something on
the subject OF wedding anniversaries ana
their celebration. 1t is seldom tnat an y,
anniversarv' earlier than the fifteenth Is
celebrated except by members Of the mn
mediate families and intimate friends OF
the married pair.
An old custom dating back TO and even
bavond Colonial DAYS puts the wedding
anniversaries In the following order;
First year paper.
Fifth year, wooden.
Tenth year, tin.
Twelfth year, leather.
Fifteenth year, crystal.
Twentieth year, china.
Twenty-hfth year. silver.
Thlrtieth year, ivory.
Fortieth year, wooden.
Forty-fifth year. silk.
Flftieth year, golden.
Seventy-fifth year, diamond.
when I say the earlier anniversaries
are seldom celebrated. I mean they are
not made into large functions, The crystal
or cut glass, wedding anniversary is usual
" a more formal affair, though the carrier
ones are much more conducive to general
fun, as many articles Of paper, wood or
tin may be found which add much to the
10y Of nations by the jokes which may be
played with them.
n is perfectly within good form, of
course, to celebrate any one of these dates
by giving a formal entertainment but 1t
is simply not customary
silver weddings are usually of more
general social character, and 1t Is correct
TO celebrate them with a formal reception
dinner or dance. The gifts sent on these
occasions are always of silver or decorated
in silver. But there are no special de-
crees for tho celebration of any of these
anniversaries. The kind of entertainment
is left to the personal taste of the per-
SONS themselves.

What Are Sleeves?

An odd little Sleeve" on an evening
gown, which hailed straight from Paris,
was made OF tulle. That Isn't odd Of
course, but the way the tulle was treated
was odd enough. A double frl OF the
tulle was made to stand up-angel style
across the shoulders, instead of straps. A
narrow band of pansy-eolored velvet
marked the Two frills, incidentally spread
Ing them wide apart. This decoration
crossed In the back suspender effect, and
that constituted the back Of the bodice.

erage. he says, the crops are further
advanced than they have been at this
time in several years. That section
has gotten its full share of the recent
