out the entire home by having the
gold and white crepe paper draped
in all rooms and cut flowers from
the florist of the same color. A tur-
key dinner was served at 1 p. m.
and in the center of the table large
wedding cake decorated in gold and
white icing and a bride and groom
standing under a white arch was
placed thereon. The gold color can
