bit’ of decoration for your Thanksgiving household. You will, that is, if you stir them together the way Mrs. P. A. Hennessee did the other day. The occasion for the flower fixing was the practice session put on by Indiana's garden clubbers who have become “accredited judges.”

It was quite a trick, too, for Mrs. Hennessee had to work with no beforehand preparation. In a general exchange she drew materials brought in by Mrs. Troy Earhart of Mulberry.

Raises Materials MRS. EARHART raised all of it in her own garden. The flowers, dried cockscombs. she prepared by picking: them “when are freshly opened” then hanging them upside down in a cool place to dry. The kale is a special sort, dear to the hearts of flower arrangers. The leaves of flowering kale lean to the pastel colors, rose, lavender, sometimes white combining with the more usual kale green. The grass. pluthes are zebra grass and the grass itself, browned and curled by frost,

furnished the gently curving

lines that Mrs. Hennessee used to complete her picture.
