FOR THE TABLE.

Hindume Lace Trimmed Tablecloth With Appliqued Motifs. Lace trimming appears on the smart new tablecloths to an extent to be expected in a season when lace ,is used everywhere that it is possible to use it. One particularly handsome cloth was adorned with a deep border of lace, made by applying lace motifs to the surface of heavy net. The lace motifs were also appliqued on the linen. > * Fashion Is fickle in table service as well as In other things. The formal dinner table of today Is not what it was a few years ago. Tbe whole

scheme of decoration for the modern dinner table makes for simplicity. Any suggestion ot ostentation is bad i form. The table is not strewn with trailing smilax and loose flowers, nor is the bare mahogany seen, as of old. except for luncheon or breakfast. There is a reversal of taste in favor j of good linen, plain glass, good flow* ers and a general practical simplicity of service in every detail. ’ Glass bowls with a few well selected flowers are even supplanting the silver ones, but the latter are often of real beauty and lend to the table such distinction that it will be difficult to supplant them entirely.
