A MORNING WEDDING IN JUNE
AFTER the solemn and beautiful ceremony had taken place in the rose-embowered summer house, there was the usual hush for a moment, and then Ruth and Fred were engulfed in a sudden rush of chattering friends, eager to offer congratulations. Bettina and Bob were swept off with the others to the house, where the wedding breakfast was waiting to be served.
"The morning is after all the happiest time for a wedding," whispered Ellen to Bettina, as they found their places at the bride's table. "Everything seems so fresh and new and green and hopeful! Isn't the table lovely, Bettina?"
And indeed it was. Rose-decorated again, with the graceful flowers in baskets, and the white bride's cake in the center of the table, Bettina felt that it made the proper setting for the flushed and smiling little bride.
"And the wedding cake is to be passed in darling little baskets," continued Ellen. "Little baskets with handles—and the cake in tiny packages tied with white ribbon! Pink and green candy all around them, too!"
The wedding breakfast consisted of:
Watermelon Balls in Halves of Cantaloupe
Chicken Croquettes Creamed Potatoes
Mushroom Sauce
New Peas Butter Sauce
Parker House Rolls Loganberry Jam
Fruit Salad Wafers, Bettina
Brick Ice Cream White Cake
Coffee
