LIFE.

Life is n folded flower. and what it holds
We ;now not, till, unwinding leaf by leaf,
II 81 ows Gnd's secrets hidden in its folds
And bares its fragrant heart to vision bries
For when its beauty and Significance
Upon our earth dullcd senses break at last,
Back to its dust the flower turns, perchance
Ere we have learned its meaning lie Is past.

A SACRED RELIC.

On the sectern rests the veritable
"Epworth Bible" used by John Wes-
ley's father in that little English
chapel more than century ago. Its
leaves are yellow with age, but its
words glow with living light. One
can readily discern the interest felt in
this precious book by the hundreds
who throng the chuch daily; they
press it with tender hand, and turn
the pages with gentlest care.

| harmonious. But to set a table with deep
blue or richly painted china of any kind
and then profusely deck it with flowers is,
says the authority already mentioned, to
violate those canons of art which are
founded on the laws of nature. The reason
is evident. Either have the flowers by
themselves or the painted pictures; to-
gether they kill each other. And that is
why there is a return to the old fashioned
white china, which is never out of keeping
with anything in the room.
With white goes any kind of decoration.
Table scarfs are still in vogue. They may
be made of crimson plush covered with
open work embroidery of rich lace, long
band narrow in shape, as they have been for
some time. On this, on festive occasions,
set fancy dishes of Ilowers-crimsOn or
white-bonbons, conserves in crystal and
caudelabra in fancy shades. The center
piece, not too high, might be large mass
of crimson roses or carnations, relieved
with greenery, and, if desired, with white
flowers of the same species.
Where the housekeeper has access to
plants and flowers, either wild or Guilt
waited, the decorations may be often varied.
In winter, ivy and sprig of the rose ge-
ranium for a center piece are delight to
the eye. 1t is a mistake to suppose that
many flowers are needful to make a fitting
show Have plentiful supply of greenery
(which can be kept fresh by frequent
changes of the water into which drop a
little powdered charcoal), and half dozen
flowers inserted into it's midst will make a
thing of beauty as long as they last.
One pretty fashion in table decoration is
to insert in the center of loose knot of
green silk cluster of flowers or a spray
of lilies or of roses. The stems may be
kept fresh in a bowl of water concealed by
the silk, which is festooned over piece of
pasteboard, through an aperture of which
they pass to reach the fluid. But it is a
mixture of the natural and artificial to
