the font, IN which was placed large potted
Gala with three blossoms, around the base
of which were banked large masses of bright
red and crimson geraniums and other flow
ers bedded in moss. The base of the front
was wreathed with smlax ivy and flowers.
On either side of the altar were placed
twenty or more pots of plants, arranged
| tastefully, gradually rising to a level with
the super-aliar. Here ivy's started and
were twined over and across the reredos,
on which was white cloth with the Easter
inscription in crimson letters "+ alleluia
| Christ is risen+."

choice array of cut flowers in vases and in
designs. AT either side of the chancel
were baskets Of growing vines and plants
trained to the shape of a cross" A large
Ivy was trailed across the face of the Or
gan.
