Some Charming Schemes and New Ideas
In Table Decoration.


in Table Decoration.
A charming scheme of table decoration
was lately seen at an artists supper table.
The table was covered with delicate green
silk, slightly draped with fllmy, silver
threaded muslin, through which the green
shimmered family. Thrown carelessly
hither and thither were small rustic logs
of all shapes and sizes, covered with lchen,
moss and mailenhair ferns. The lights
were all softened with green and white
shades. The effect was dainty and fsiry
like.
a golden scheme OF color is carried out
with long fronds of maidenhair ferns, ar
ranged in fancy baskets of gildcd wire of
different sizes. A long curved spray Of
flowers spread at either end Of the table
may be composed of the large single daffo-
dis and small lowered mimosa. Yellow
sWeetmeats in little gold dishes and yellow
shades on the candles complete the decora-
tion.
A nrw idra is TO plneo low baskets in
gold rush or wire full OF flowers, around
these to lay pretty green leaves, the fruit
resting on the leaves, not on a dish; the
larger leaves near the center and the
smaller ones near the edge of the table.

When Amos Cumming, Was IL Printer

When Amos Cummings Was IL Printer.
Congressman Amos Cummings is nn
expert in the mani rulHtion OF white pa
per with IA pair OF shears, Some of his
friends say be can do better with the shears
than with a pen, batii his OF itself is II joke
and very in,jrnctca,ii. one, for the jour
nalist statesman well maintains his reputa-
ton rs one of the brliiaut writers of the
American press. His aptitude for the fash
ioning of various articles out of plain white
paper is Il relic Of his printer days. There
was Il time when Amos earned his living
by the cXudation of elbow grease in the
practice of the glorious art Of setting type,
and sometimes, like other members of the
craft, he trampcd from place 10 place in
search not of work, but of adventure.
Congressman Stivcrs, from interior New
York. has been Il journalist for many years.
One day, he says, tramp printer appeared.
in his Office and asked for u days work
He was given case The itinerant was
not scrupulously uttired His shirt had
been las, laun,lricd in Troy-and Troy he
had left three weeks before. Cuffs he had
none. At quitting time the stranger sold
his String afternoons work-for II
dollar and II half After going out for u
shave he returned aud asked the belatcd
foreman if he might have Il sheet of white
card board and a pair of shears. His re-
quest WAS granted, and i'll ten minutes,
when the foreman looked up from his
work, there stood the stranger with u daz-
xling white shirt front. an immaculate
pair of cuffs and nice clean collar. The
fo.lornt tramp printer had been transformed
into Il handsome gentleman, who then
started out for IL dollar dinner at he best
restaurant in town.
"That was my first Acquaintance" says
Mr.. Stivers, with the possibilities of the
use of Bristol board in the way of rehabili-
tating IL lnusty costume. 1t was also my
first, but am glad to say not my last,

The way Of making these is to Use twen-
ty sheets of tissue paper, ten dark and ten
light or white. Each sheet must be passed
through the hand over and over again until
it is quite crinklcd. This needs a certain
amount Of adroitness or the edges are torn.
When satisfactorily crinkled the ten
sheets are formed in a circle, ten light and
ten dark, the light under, the dark above.
They must then be plated at the top, and
tied round to the wire frame with tape, SO
that there Is thick ruche at the top. This
is the most troublesome part, as, unless
the paper falls evenly all round, the whole
effect is spoiled.

The Decline of the Berry Box

The publisher of The Amsterdam (N. "
Democrat recently made public griev-
ance that is by no means singular to him
self. Berry boxes, he declares, seem to be
growing smaller year by year. When they
were first produced they would hold n
large quart. Now they have to be pulled
and stretched to make them hold n pint
and half. Growers of berry boxes should
attend to this matter. 1t is possible that
the coil thcy grow in needs fertilizing.
Perhaps by hybridizing process the berry
box might be crossed with the peach bas-
ket and tzorght back to its original proper
size. 1t is matter which the growers
