GOOD HOUSEKEEPING.
BY Henrietta Grauel.
JIlNE TIME BEAUTIES.


Yes.my dear Bride-to-be. Dame Fashion
declared long ago that if bride had
bridesmaids she must give them some
little gift, must divide her bouquet
among them. and have special cake
hak ed for { n TO enjoy. The groom too
must have a bachelor dinner and give
appropriate souvenirs.
These affairs may be ms formal IA you
can afford or rs informal as you can
arrange. 1t does not follow that an in
formal tea or breakfast, or an affair where
the entire wedding party is entertained,
NAV NOT he elegant in every detail
One N rides have brought home TO
them th "a the bad taste of elaborate
and ext: At cntert ainments of any
sort, bus y as usual IL the order of
the day and will be until the unpleasant
abrosd. that is breaking upon our homes
temporarily, is stopped.
Simplest white gowns. ross galore,
friends to pay loving homage and her
parents to help her receive and enjoy
will make any girls wedding party de
lightful
The usual gift to the men and the maids
is pin and il may be presented with the
bridesmaids roses and with the grooms-
man S nosegsy.
Next to the dress. decorations and gifts
stand the cakes. though one hardly likes
to acknowledge how much Importance is
attached TO them. But Just think, at a
merry little wedding party You must nave
a wedding cake. though 1t rs not cut unsii
after the ceremony. A bride cake. an
angel and a bachelors and bridegroom
cake beside host of little fancy cakes
ready to serve with tea between times
The preparation of all these IS not diftl-
cult If YOU have master recipe. The we'd
ding cake is not different from any rich
fruit cake and can be made IN advance.
Then with master recipe one batter may
l,c made into all other cakes required and
NAV be favored and tinted and decorated
until each cake will answer TO any name
YOU want TO call 1t.
The bachelors cake may he made Just
~ the old fashioned Devils food is,

a little fruit and finished with heavy, dark
chocolate frostIng Make double the usual
rortion and bake what remains of the
batter In cup pans for the small cake col
lection.
A white fruit cake" made with whites
Of eggs, cltron, white raIsIns and cocoanut
is appropriate for the brides cake and the
volks of the eggs that remain may be used
for small gold cakes.
Use brown sugar and one-thIrd rice
-four in the dark cakes. They are much
richer made so and when you add the
fruit TO the cake batter dry and dredge
IL with flour and it will not sink 10 the
