IDEAS FOR COLOR SCHEMES

Must Not Bo Too Slavishly Followed -—Flower# That Make Beautiful . Table Decorations.

In carrying out a color scheme for a luncheon or dinner it is not wise to” try to stick to it too closely so far as the food is concerned, but rather to suggest it. For instance,-in a violet and yellow scheme, in the first course the yellow may be suggested in an egg-yolk garnish and the purple in ripe olives. The custard in the soup should be yellow, as well as the sauce with the fish, the orange cup for the salad and the yellow dressing. Purple sweet peas form a beautiful table decoration, as do pansies or violets. Many flowers may be found to carry out this color scheme and may be used In decorating the place cards, which may be lightly tinted yellow, with a spray of the chosen flower. Nut baskets coaid be tied with little bows of yellow or purple ribbon and covered with either color of crepe paper. If another salad than orange, were used, an orange ice could be served, and little cakes decorated /With candied violet leaves would further carry out the color scheme.
