Manner In Which They Were Allotted at a Recent Bridal Dinner. At a bridal dinner at which only young people were the guests the prophetic symbols were allotted in this pretty manner: A huge white frosted cake, baked in a funnel pan, was the centerpiece. The bride tied a silver turquoise set ring (it was to be a December wedding and turquoise is the stone) to a length of white satin ribbon, a solid silver turquoise set thimble to another, a quaint Chinese coin to one, a beautiful silver turquoise-studded handmade button to a fourth and a silver heart and silver key to the others. These she dropped into the center of the cake in the opening; the ends ran outward around the table, where each ended with a white cardboard heart on which the monogram of the bride and bridegroonw wag done in gold. After dessert all drew ribons, and those lucky enough to uraw the tokens applied the prophecy to themselves. The white ribbons and heart monograms made pleasing souvenirs for the others. Another bride had her shower bouquet made in as many parts as she had favors. As she went up the stairs she untied the binding streamers of tulle and threw tho parts over the railing, where they were caught by the bridal party.
