Gifts for Gardohers Difficult to Find

Very Few Figurines Discovered That Would Fit Into Artistic Arrangement

. Feeling that Counter-Spy cannot possibly be expected to do espionage for garden gifts, garden gadder went snooping down the Christmas aisles.this week, and learned that garden minded givers and giftees are far more numerous than local garden gifts would indicate. Take the matter of figurines, those helpful adjuncts (and lifetime gifts) for the rapidly increasing fans of flower arrangements, There are very few simple enough of line to add to any artistic arrangement. : But when I passed out (almost literally) from the household wares section where Mr. Ayres is wont to keep garden goods in summer time, I did see among tree and household decorative items (fifth floor) some enchanting choir boy candles. These are just the thing for a quick evergreen and red berry sort of centerpiece such as a busy woman might put together.

To Make Flower Arrangements]

Helen Thorn and Carole Pflum . . . decorate a table in the | Wallage Street Presbyterian Church.

By MARGUERITE SMITH NO WONDER parents keep that youthful look these days.

It's keeping up with the offspri

develop gray hairs. Now it's flower arrangement that Mom's

having to cope with.

But this Increasingly popular art does run into difficulties

when daughter takes over. “To a youngster every flower {8 just beautiful,” says Mrs. Ray Thorn. She's been guiding some Intermediate Scouts in the first stages of playing hostess: “So they'll just stick a fistful of flowers in a vase and be guite satisfied with the result. We try to show them how much nicer the flowers will look if they clip the stenms “a different length.

Put Lessons to Work

Five intermediates of troop 16 put their lessons to work this week by decorating tables for a dinner at Wallace Street Presbyterian Church. The girls, Carole Pflum, Dorothea Cayton, Norma Worth, Helen Thorn and Nancy Blacklidge, are still in the practice stages of good design. So they copied the leader's arrangement. One easy-to-make table centerpiece took only simple materials such as pine branches, mahonia’s hollylike foliage, pine cones, red candles, and a few artificial red berries to cluster in the greenery. ’

Cones took on a snow-covered |

look when the girls dipped them in white show card paint. Later, they can wash this paint off easily with water when they want to use the cones “as is.” Other pointers the girls pick up that Mom can use, too, include how to condition materi als so they'll stay fresh even without water in the container. “Dry arrangements” are useful when Mom cherishes the finish on her dining room table. Flowers or evergreens plunged into. deep water overnight before they're arranged keep fresh much longer than similar ma-

| terials used fresh after cutting.

Daughter learns, too, that it's wise to cut all flowers and foliage longer than she. thinks is necessary. It's easier to cut off an inch or two than to add it later. She learns the fine points of using color to carry out the theme of the holiday or season —as red and green for Christmas, silver and blue for New Year’s, for éxample. Altogether, Mom's going to

have to hustle to keep up.
