A TABLE CONSERVATORY.

How One May Be Made to Grace Tour Summer Drawing-Room. Somewhere alnut the house you may have a small table which is of no special use. Look it up and convert it into a little conservatory fit to grace your summer drawing-room. You don’t know how to do it? Well, here is the plan to follow: The preparatory work Is accomplished by a coat of white enamel. After this is thoroughly dry, cut a round hole in the center of the table, just large enough for a deep tin can to be fitted in. Fill this with water and then place your flowers within. They may be changed each morning, and will keep fresh all day. Another pretty idea is to fill the tin pan with earth and have ferns growing there.

Let some flowering vine be in the center, trained to wind Itself about the legs of the table. , i;
