For Spring Weddings

| A LWAYS a thing Of enchanting fas-
cination, the wedding cake is now
a feat to break the heart with its love-
hness-that is. If one ever gets a
chance to see a real wedding cake, the
thing with snowy pyramids and the
temple and the bride and the cupids
and the doves that queens, princesses
and heiresses have ever loved This
kind OF cake is fashionable today for
the chief ornament of the table. and
where the usual bits OF cake are not
handed round in little boxes for the
guests 20 take home these bedtzened
sweets are chopped up by the bride at
last and everybody given a pinch
Many delightful effects are obtained
on wedding tables with dressed dolls,
these with the proper setting some
times depicting very dainty scene
One such table fixing had a huge glass
punch bowl for centerpiece. vVreatIed
with leaves and buds, round it in a
dancing circle were placed the dolls,
which were OF the sort used by the
shops for miniature dress models but
they were all dressed like Greek
dancers, so they had quite a bacchic
air. Bunches OF American Beauty
roses strewed this table, which was
for young widow bride. Little scenes
OF wedding parties with a sugar tenn
pie, q priest and bridesmaids, and. of
course, the bride and groom, are often
arranged by wedding decorators with
these dolls, and every tiny fgura
shows the last needed detail in dress.
Among the decorations which will be
used by smart folk this year and which
are very useful when natural flowers
cannot be had are the paper water
lilies and cherry boughs. These. how
lever. usually go with Japanese crock
cry, and they are most often used at
the tea given with the afternoon re-
ception. When real water lilies can
be had it is not uncommon to drop one
or two in the punch bowl, where thew
look pretty and suitable.
