To Arrange Flowers.

Here are five golden rules should be observed by those who often arrange flowers. Use plenty of foliage. Put your flowers In very lightly. Use artistic glasses. Do not put more than two, or, at the most, three different kinds of flowers In one decoration. Arrange your colors to form a bold contrast or, better still, a soft harmony. The aim of the decorator should be to show off the flowers —not the vases that contain them; therefore the simrfer ones are far preferable to even the most elaborate. Glasses for a dinner table should be either white, a delicate shade of green, or rose color, according to the flowers arranged In them.
