Garlands of oak leaves, adorned with acorns, led from the centerpiece, a bowl of attractively arranged fruit. On either side of the centerpiece were bowls of marigolds in two shades. Placed in the midst of the flowers were orange and brown tapers. The favors for the women were real iron skiilets in imitation of the colonial times, and for the men, iron coal scuttles. Both favors were procured in Massachusetts. Other favors were covered match boxes decorated with bittersweet and acorns. The climax of the dinner was the individual pumpkin pies for dessert, served with acorns which had been hollowed out and filled with cheese in shape of the top part of the acorn.
