CARE IN TABLE DECORATION

Paople as a Rule Don’t Like to Play Peek-a-800 at Dinner, Says Miss Holman. A few flowers are in good taste and add charm to the dining table but the whole greenhouse or garden should not be used. They shouldn’t fairly scream out for attention, asserts Miss Araminta Holman, instructor in home .-Alt, ———— -r-r —— “Decorations should always add beauty to the artcle which they decorate,” says Miss Holman. “The flowers that are dainty, delicate and sparingly used are attractive on the table in the dining room. A small fern is appropriate. The flowers are of less importance than the food, the dishes and the silver. One or two flowers are usually enough, properly arranged. "Their tops should not he higher than the tallest dish on the table. Persons seated for the dinner should not have to play peek-a-boo around a tall vase of flowers."
