TABLE DECORATION.

Tho Uses of silks and LInens-Osc1r Wilde's
Love OF Green.
Separate center cloths of linen with
decoration more or less elaborate in
fine needlework and drawn work are
still well used. The favorite design for
the center used at the ladies' lunch
that apotheosis OF daintiness in table
festivals, is in Dresden work. The tiny
flower sprays, like those on the china,
scattered careless.y all over the piece
require great skill in manipulation and
execution and faultless taste in their
color combinations.
These sprays are often copied from
old Dresden bits by ladies clever in
drawing their own designs and in shad-
ing the silks with which the designs are
carried out.
Centers Of heavy linen are very effect
i've for dinners when couched with gold
| and with the background fish-scaled
with white silk. The COUGHING is of the
heavy Japanese wash gold, which has
on fhe silken background the effect of
gold brocade. The hem is simply hem
stitched or may be finished with a fall
of lace. Heavy or fine sheer linens,
sateens, silk and boiling cloth are all
| used in the centers, and newer than
either of these Is silk material called
mail CLOTH which is specially adapted
to center pieces because it is woven so

bold design, either outlined or couched,
a favorite color combination for which
is delicate green and white. Another

coration is that copied after the old
French fancies, where garlands or
sprays Oft many colored flowers are
caught and tied with bows Of ribbon in
delicate blue or green or yellow.
1t was Oscar Wilde who first taught
the unfeeling Gentle soul that the love
of green was typical of the subtle
