THE WEDDING TABLE is SET


Among the happy traditions sur
rounding the wedding ceremony is
the Breakfast with the cutting of the
brides cake for the guests. Its
touch of delicate formality leaves u
lasting impression of joy and prom
ise Down through the ages our cere-
monies have grown and what one of
them Is more hallowed than the we'd
ding feast?
Individual tastes vary from time
to time but simpleness and exquisit-
ness Is decoration and service give the
greatest satisfaction to all.
So we must keep this in mind when
we are choosing our silver, and linen,
the crystal, the flavors and the
menu. If the wedding is in the after
noon. a reception follows at which our
guests are served from long table
which can be covered with plain
damask or filet CLOTH 1t can be
decorated with "A crystal or silver GAN

of lilies of the valley can be scattered
about the table.
Here we shall display all the dain-
ties in sandwiches, ices, cakes, candies
and we shall serve it all in our best
Haviland china.
And each guest must have his bit
of wedding cake. 1t is most indis-
pensible Frequently pieces of the
cake are wrapped in small squares and
handed to each one ere he departs.
The wedding breakfast following
noon ceremony calls for little more

each of which is set with complete
service and it's center piece~of flow

of the bridal table is the wedding
cake deliberately built, though 1t is
preferable not to have it too high and
thus prevent those sitting opposite
one another from seeing across. 1t
has been often recommended that the
decorations be small land not build
UP barrier to conviyiality and joy.
The menu can start with an oyster

ferred to pledge the bride and her

with a gold enerusted band If 1t

for the wedding breakfast is prob

will be made, if simplicity, modesty
and refinement be kept uppermost In
mind. 1t is not to be expected that
the wedding guests will pay too parti-

their hearts and thoughts are absorb
