THE BEE: OMAHA, SATURDAY, MAY 27, 1916. Good Things for the Table---Offerings of the Market Household Hints 16 Finest of All Vegetables is Now on the Omaha Market You can get almost anything you want in the way of vegetables in the market of Omaha right now. Real summer weather has brought forward the home-grown produce in great shape and it is for sale in splen did, appetizing quality and at prices which put it within the reach of ev erybody. Succulent asparagus, lately a lux ury and quoted here at prices that were pretty "steep", is now abundant ani selling around the figure of two bunches for a jitney. Radishes have also descended to the ranks of the common vegetables at the ridiculous price of some 8 or 10 cents a dozen bunches. Strawberries, too. The fields of Missouri are producing them by the carload and they are great big fel lows of a fine flavor. The price ranges around 15 cents a box for very fine berries. Lettuce, parsnips, beets, onions and so on, all the common variety of veg etables, are very plentiful and good. Tomatoes are' finer than they have been heretofore this season and have come down in price. Rhubarb you can get all you can carry for a few cents. The first cantaloupes have eloped from their native fields and are in some of the stores. They're not very big fellows, but then what can you expect so early in the season? Give them credit for getting here at all so soon, Pineapples you can get, too, for as little as a nickle. Not very big pineapples, but still of a goodly size and a big nickle's worth, by mine hali dome! Gooseberries, too, if you like 'em, from the far fields of California. Some very fine and extra large specimens of the breakfast appetizer, grape fruit, are on hand. And or anges are still plentiful. Hints From Spring Hostesses Blue is not a popular color for table decorations, but one woman whose artistic understanding never fails her, employed it most success fully at a tea she gave to open her lovely new home to her friends. Her dining room is all in soft blue tones, and she used tall, twisted, dark blue candles, unshaded, and in colonial glass candle sticks. Her center piece was the almost inevitable flat bowl glass this time filled with bluets. And dotted here and there on the table were single budholders containing yellow daffodils. Her re ception room, a "symphony in yel low," was fairly banked with the same lovely flowers, and the lady herself in a golden-tinted gown was the crowning glory of the picture. Standing place cards seem not to lose their popularity, and those formed like single -flowers, roses, pansics, lilies, orchids are particu larly attractive. The woman who has some skill in water colors can make these cards to match the flow ers, garden or greenhouse grown, that she uses for table decoration. A Novelty for Weddings. At one of the smartest weddings of the season the church was belted with pink and white flowers of many varieties and the great aisle was bor dered by staffs supporting baskets filled with blossoms and festooned with showers of pink satin ribbon. The bridesmaids there were ten of them entered two and two, and as they approached it was plain to the eager onlookers that there was something unusual about the huge shower bouquets of pink and white which they carried, and something more unusual about the manner in which they were held. When as the first couple halted within a foot or so of the first chancel they wheeled slowly and faced each other from opposite sides of the aisle, it was seen that the first maids carried their flowers in their left hands, the second maids theirs in their right hands and so on alternately all along the line. And the bouquets were attached by loops of srnilsx and pink ribbon, so that when all had faced about and the bouquets were held at arm's length there was formed the most wonderful floral decked ribbon way for the bride to pass through. Wild Flowera for Decorations Now this was the wedding of a rich girl and the cost was not counted, but there is a suggestion here that seems well worth the consideration of the bride-elect of this spring or summer, whose means are very mod erate. Suppose; for instance, she is planning for a simple out-of-door wedding, with wild flower decora tions, what could be prettier than a daisy chain border to the path over which she is to pass? Another feature of this same wedding was the substitution of joyous caroling by a boy choir, and this is quite possible for many a bride whose spoon is just silver and not pure gold. Yet an other idea was the boxes for the wedding cake, made by an impecuni ous but deft-fingered relative lor the occasion, shaped like slices of cake, or like small fancy cakes, and their satin covers decorated to make the resemblance more complete. An other hint for the decorative worker on the lookout for novel ideas. "Mystic candles," to be placed before each guest's plate and lighted by him or her just after sitting down, are among the popular party novel ties. A bit of verse accompanies each candle, which promises the lighter a fate different according to whether the flame burns red, or Blue, or green and so on. The originator of the idea must believe in optimistic oracles only, however, for though the promised results vary, they are all of the cheerful sort. Not far away from these "mystic candles" are displayed "fortune card valentines 10 cents. Cut the card and find your true valentine." It iooks as though occultism were again to have its day.

Twelve may be all right, but the thirteenth if sure to throw a monkey wrench into the machinery and cause all sorts of trouble. Evi dence of that was demonstrated dur ing a May festival presented Friday morning by the boys and girls of Bancroft School on the spacious lawn of the school. Clara Elmiger was the gracious princess and Leo Lent was the prince charming. The princess invited twelve of her godmothers to a party in the castle, but forgot to bid the thirteenth to her function. The twelve brought presents and the thirteenth cast a pall over the affair by causing the princess and her entourage to go into a sound sleep, The prince, how ever", heard of the plight of his lady fair, so he rode post haste to the cas tle and aroused the princess and the other sleepers. The evil godmother was told to leave instantcr, which she did in a high dudgeon.

He was a brave prince, just like you read about1 in story books. '' ' ' ; f Then tire- prince and the princess were married and lived happily for ever and a day. They started light housekeeping in the castle. The festival was attended by a large gathering of mothers of the neighborhood. They brought the ba bies and postponed the regular morn ing work.
