C. W. feet. suitable at least SOON COMES THE BBIDE. After Easter come the spring wed- dings, which provide us with much work until the latter part of June. Church weddings give opportunity for our most elaborate and artistic decorative work, while bouquets for the bride and brides- maids call for novel effects and ingeni- ous combinations. This class of work should be better this year, the general prosperity of the country being considered. When there is" money to spend, no parent will be nig- gardly with the daughter who is about to become a bride. Consequently we may look for a banner season of wed- ding work to begin right after Easter. Accompanying is an illustration of the church decorations for a fashionable wedding at Memphis, Tenn. The decora- tive scheme was designed and carried out by Mrs. M. E. Irby, of the Flower Shop, Memphis. The aisle decorations were strings of asparagus. On each of the first six pews there was a bunch of Dorothy Per- kins roses with a bow of pink tulle. The same roses were on every fourth pew toward the rear of the church. The altar decoration had eight candle- sticks, which held more than sixty can- dles. Tall wicker vases at either side of the altar were filled with pink peo- nies, pink roses and Easter lilies. The background of greens was of palms. The bouquets for bride and brides- maids pictured in the accompanying il- lustration, were designed and made by Miss Kate Harris, also of the Flower Shop, Memphis. Scottsbluff, Neb.—The Howard Green- houses have opened a store at 217 Main street.
