choice for bridesmaid** rroc m, and ftt

ua gay ua u group of spring bloaaorns,
while iniiny requisite designs lire belntr
prepared for the rush of weddings that
will tako place In tho neur future.

With p owns in which yellow pre
dominated flowcru to mutch are carried,
but with other tints tho bouquets pro
vldo a contrust. At one wedding
bouquets ol' violets?a compliment to
Die bride's name?were carried, wlt!i
picture frocks of roue chiffon velours,
nnd the brdegroom's kTIn were charm
ing little "bluebirds of happim-Hs"
pendants. At u mauvo wedding tho
brldesmaldu wore with their mauvo I
nnd white gowna borgere hutn wreath- J
od with pink rou'*H. and carried I
bouquets of tho same llowora. Their I
ornaments were long strings of pink
topas beads.
IMetureiiqiic I'drmi.
Period costumes are chosen for
pages and tiny girls, chiefly Watteau
or Kumncy designs, though tho
medieval Jerkins of nllver brocade,
with white silk stockings and shoes,
ore nower, and look charming on Ut
ile boys whose hair Is long enough
to bo arrnng-.d In appropriate man
ner?a straight fringe across tho fore
head and the hrilr falling at back and
sides, tho ends curled under at the
neck. Tho Florentine cap with one
plume Is, of course, removed In church,
f-fmal) g!rH wear quaint rlcli gowns
of the silver brocade, with pearl-ln
rrust^d Medici collars and Juliet caps,
and carry posies "f flowers similar
to tho bouquets of the older brides
maids.
I(nln nnd Ai'frnHorlc*.
Tho Oriental-looking caps nnd veils
which were worn by so many brldes
mulds last year are no longer fash
ionable, and huts are of the smartest
description, often bla':k In contrast to
the dainty gowns. Scarfs and muffs
of chiffon nnd ostrich or marabout to
harmonize with the 'gowns are often
seen at present, and aro almost neces
sary on chilly days, when warmer
wraps. If worn at all, are left In the
carriage. Shoes and hose cither match
the color of tho frock or the shoes
art silver and the hose tinted.
CARROTS
Horr Tiler Miiy He Mode Attractive
n.? Home Plants.
Growing greenery Is always attrac
tive In our homes, but It Is not al- j
ways possible to havo pots of creep- i
li.g plants hanging from the celling I
or In the windows of tho rooms By j
u single and Inexpensive arrange- ?
men is, however, we can have growing
foliage In any room and the elTect is ?
curtainly most attractive.
All we ne-d buy Is a number of car- j
rots from tho grocer's ami cut off the
thick ends of these anil scoop nut the .
In.-ido so as to form a cup. Then 1
fasten throe wires or strings to this |
nnd hang It up, (tiling the hollow,
cuplike recess with water. In a short
time green foliage begins to sprout
from the part that Is hanging down,
and as this grows and spreads out It
has all the appearance of dainty fern
ery. In order that th-i foliage may !
continue to nourish It Is necessary to !
till up the hollow with water overy |
day as it becomes absorbed.
A row of these Inverted carrot heads j
In full lc:if Is a pretty sight and the :
root Is practically nothing. Many peo- j
pie who will admire the charming cf- j
feet will not dream that the result Is
achieved by such humble means aa an
ordinary carrot.

These flounces are of four different

Painless Dental Work
Our patrons often ask: "How
are you able to charge low prtoes
for such boaatlful dental work?**.
The answer Is: There is a large
profit In dental work, and partly
because we prefer a largo practice
at small prices to a small practice
at large prices, and partly because
the combination of several men In
one office minimizes expense. Also,
by supplying our different offices
we buy an ImmOnBe lot of teeth,
gold and other dental supplies,
theroby saving a large discount.
Therefore we can. by doing dental
operations PAINLESSLY and In
loss time, turn out the beBt dental
work at moderate cost.
