the time the guests passed the entrance
tc the porch, where this attractive SYM
Dol was produced by two arches, the

cclors. The interior bore the same
symbolic decoration-there being FIVE

assembled.
Further decorative arrangements of
beauty were afforded by a crescent and
by the tasteful grouping of plants, cut
flowers and candelebra. A crystal block
OF ice at the punch table was topped
with garlands of sweet peas. The rain
bows tints of the handsome silk gowns
